FRED:
Looking for a classic Halloween costume? What’s more classic than a Scooby Doo character? With all their creepy and crazy adventures it makes perfect sense for Halloween. I decided to see what I could do to get a cheap, easy to make Fred costume. I went to Kohls, strolled around, and found myself a Fred costume. This costume includes the blonde wig, blue pants, orange scarf and white t-shirt. How much does it cost you say? Oh, just $41.99. But great news, it was on sale for a whole $4.20 less than originally, that’s a lot better right? No, and personally, I like my Fred costume even better than Kohls, and it was made from items found right in my house. That’s right, it was free.
