    I didn’t attend one this year-I did it last year, but this year-we got all our supplies from goodwill :)

  2. Alea Shinn Says:

    I didn’t, but think they are an awesome idea!! =) I have gotten costumes from Freecycle though in the past and will pass along old costumes to people on Freecycle as well.

  3. Anne Lehnick Says:

    I was not able to attend this year (and did not know about them last year). However, I did pass my son’s old costumes from the previous two years along to his cousin.

  4. Randi K Says:

    Not this weekend but a few weeks ago. It didn’t turn out as planned, mostly infant costumes there and not many people got to bring anything home. Great idea, though!

  5. Terra Tominelli Says:

    We sponsored a costume swap at our school this year and it was a huge success! The parents loved the idea. Thanks

  6. Shannon Says:

    I have never attended a swap but think it is a great idea!

  7. Cecilia Says:

    I did not attend this year, but I am passing along some customes, and probably making myself the customes for this year.

  8. Kyle Says:

    I have never swapped costumes but I think its a great idea! So is selling gently used costumes on eBay! :)

  9. Joan Says:

    Did not participate this year.

  10. Ink Says:

    We did not needed to attend one this year as we hit the post Halloween sales last year for years to come :-)

  11. Shanna Says:

    I did not attend one however I did get my son’s costume over the weekend that was previosly worn by his coworker’s son.

  12. Lesli M. Says:

    No, I didn’t. We always recycle ours though and often buy used ones.

  13. Amber Saxby Says:

    We did attend one in Bellevue, Wa and it was a great experience. We dropped off a couple from last year, and although we didn’t find anything for my son (Batman) we did find a Snow White costume for my daughter that she could not part with so we ended up wearing it home!

  14. Terri B Says:

    No costume swap… But we’re reusing our own costumes from last year.

  15. Robin O Says:

    I have never been to a costume swap, but it sounds like a great idea–maybe I will organize one next year!

  16. Dusten Says:

    I didn’t know there was such a thing until this year. We already got costumes for our kids, but next year, we’ll try to swap with someone else.

  17. Erin Ashworth Says:

    Does it count as swapping if I buy used off Craigslist and sell my old costumes every year? I’ve been doing it since my daughter’s second Halloween.

  18. Sharee Says:

    My oldest is using a costume he got for his birthday last December and my youngest is wearing a hand me down costume from his older brother so we didn’t go to a costume swap this year. Love the idea though!

  19. Yvonne Says:

    No swap, but we plan on coming up with something with things we already have.

  20. Stephanie Says:

    Hand-me-downs are the way to go! Little Brother will be wearing Big brother’s costume. Swapping with friends may happen in the future as our boys get older.

  21. Rebecca O Says:

    I didn’t but it sounds like fun! I’m thinking about getting something together for next year when my son is a bit older.

  22. Lori Says:

    We sure did! We found some great costumes, had a good time and meet some amazing ladies!! I will definitely do this again next year . . . love it!

  23. Stephanie Says:

    No, but I did buy a used costume from a resale shop!

  24. Laura Perkins Says:

    I did not get to attend a Costume Swap this past weekend. The local Holistic Moms Network Chapter I belong to is organizing a swap & I am just waiting to hear the date/time so I can plan to go!!

  25. monica Says:

    Congratulations to Terra Tominelli for being today’s winner (via random.org).

    Costume Swaps are an easy way to be eco. I’m so happy that some of you were able to participate in local swaps this year. Trading with friends and buying from second hand stores are also great ways to save green and be eco.

    We hope that you will “trick-or-treat” with us each day this month. We have so many fun giveaways!
