This year they have a new line of children’s princess costumes that retail at some stores for $59.99 but sell here for $25.99. Children’s sizes 4-12.

Also new this year is the Crash Bandicoot costume for $26.99 and Powderpuff Girls, also $26.99.

For adults, there’s the costume rental department, where rates run $35 and up, with the average being $55.

With more than 3,000 costumes to choose from, there’s bound to be one that fits your alter ego.

If your significant other is gladiator material, he’ll look good with a chest piece, shin guards, helmet and all the accouterments for $55.

If Zorro is more his image, that will also cost $55. You probably already know that Wonder Woman fits you, but you can drive the point home for $35 or get completely out of character and be a Renaissance wench for $55.
