Halloween-errific

Woolworths was always a good place to go to get nice Halloween bits and pieces. They were generally cheap, had a lot of stock, and their strong points were kids costumes and creepy sweets.
But as we’re all aware (in the UK at least) Woolworths became one of the biggest names to die as a result of the economic crisis.

People were sad, and many of the stores now lie empty, derolict and haunted looking.
But purely by chance when browsing the web the other day, I discovered that the Woolworths web-site is has been resurrected to make sure that none of us miss out on Woolworths Halloween treats!

In my search for Halloween supplies, I have found numerous web-sites.
The best are usually US based, which isn’t much good if you live in the UK (sorry, I won’t keep going on about this, honest).

However, over the past couple of years, a few UK stores have really improved their stock. One of which is Sillyjokes.co.uk.

This shops primary selling point is probably its costumes. It has loads, for adults and children. Some of them aren’t so great, but are still funny. Check out ‘Ghostly Gentleman’!

Not very scary.

Year after year, I return to Asda for my Halloween goodies.

Because this supermarket is owned by the American giant, Wal-Mart, they always stock a lot of stuff, and most of it is pretty good quality when compared to the pathetic offerings of other supermarkets.

And if you live in England, you’ll know that finding decent Halloween decor isn’t easy.

Although this year’s stock wasn’t ground-breaking, they felt confident enough to stock a huge man-sized butler for £60 which was a pretty brave move. You can check out a video of him here:

I didn’t buy one, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t want to!
