STOUGHTON, Wis. – October is the busiest time of the year at Goodwill. As many face pinched pocketbooks this year due to inflation and rising costs, shopping and donating at Goodwill is an even more timely message.
According to a survey conducted by Goodwill Industries International, most consumers feel current economic conditions are affecting their purchasing habits when it comes to Halloween costumes and/or décor.
- Seven in ten (70%) Americans agree that economic impacts due to inflation are limiting their ability to purchase Halloween costumes/costume materials and/or décor.
- More than three in five (62%) say that because of rising costs due to inflation, they are more likely to create DIY Halloween costumes than purchase from a store.
- Additionally, 63% of adults agree they are more likely to buy materials for DIY Halloween costumes or décor from thrift stores such as Goodwill to reduce costs.
The good news is that Goodwill offers loads of unique items and accessories to help local shoppers put together the perfect costume without breaking the bank.
Their Halloween Look Book makes finding a fun, creative costume even easier. Best of all, when you shop and donate at Goodwill, you support their local mission to help people achieve their highest level of independence through the power of work through our Supported Employment and Residential programs.
