Spending money on costumes for yourself or your kids can run into the hundreds.

Americans are expected to spend over $3 billion on just costumes this Halloween. But you can be a little creative and do it for less. Lindsey Peer showed Janice how.

"Now I say have fun, get involved as a family, think about a theme, think about what you want, look on the website and see how you can do it for less. Pull it apart piece by piece," says Peer.

You can also try asking friends for hand-me-downs.
