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

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.

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.

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!
October 10th, 2011 at 11:54 am
We sponsored a costume swap at our school this year and it was a huge success! The parents loved the idea. Thanks
October 10th, 2011 at 11:54 am
I have never attended a swap but think it is a great idea!
October 10th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
I did not attend this year, but I am passing along some customes, and probably making myself the customes for this year.
October 10th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I have never swapped costumes but I think its a great idea! So is selling gently used costumes on eBay!
October 10th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
Did not participate this year.
October 10th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
We did not needed to attend one this year as we hit the post Halloween sales last year for years to come
October 10th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
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.
October 10th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
No, I didn’t. We always recycle ours though and often buy used ones.
October 10th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
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!
October 10th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
No costume swap… But we’re reusing our own costumes from last year.
October 10th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
I have never been to a costume swap, but it sounds like a great idea–maybe I will organize one next year!
October 10th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
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.
October 10th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
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.
October 10th, 2011 at 4:50 pm
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!

No swap, but we plan on coming up with something with things we already have.
October 10th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
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.
October 10th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
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.
October 10th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
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!
October 10th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
No, but I did buy a used costume from a resale shop!
October 10th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
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!!
October 11th, 2011 at 7:08 pm
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!
