Big Lots is one of my favorite places for budget Halloween merchandise.  They always have a few things that I just love for a great price.  Just check out this witch:

I also love their small home decor items.  They’re kinda going with a royal golden crown thing this year.  Note the kingly crows and skulls on the top shelf.  There were also some dapper skeletons sporting cool little top hats.  Who doesn’t like a skeleton in a top hat?

They also have a wide variety of lighting, including rope lights, strobes, pathway markers, and various bulbs:

This guy was one of my favorites.  He’s like one of your basic butler greeter, but he has a ton to say.  I recorded him for a full minute, and he never repeated himself.  Check out the video on Facebook.

And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but everyone this year has hopped on board the animal skeleton train.  Check out all these awesome guys.  These are extra special because they’re all animated.  I’ll upload a pic and video or two on Facebook, too.

I hope everyone’s Halloween shopping is going well.  Mine’s on a bit of a hiatus because of a few home improvement projects in the works, but I’m almost finished.  I’m way past due to focus on my favorite holiday.
