How To Make Or Buy A Frugal Santa Costume

It's that time of year, and Santa Claus is everywhere. If you want to thrill kids with a knee-side chat or a big bag of presents, now is the time to find your Santa Suit.
With prices for complete costumes starting at $23, making your own may not be the most cost effective approach. Then again, you definitely get what you pay for, and making an outfit for yourself allows you to customize it. We'll tell you how to meet your Santa clothing needs either way, and at a price you can afford.
The full cost of a Santa outfit includes the base price, any accessories that you'll have to purchase separately and shipping & handling. If your budget is tight, be sure to account for all of these before making your final selection.
The cheapest... er... most inexpensive costumes we found were around $15. Judging by the photo, these might even make good pajamas once your Santa days are over. But you can do better than pajamas...
Costume Craze has two Santa Suits for under $40 that include jacket, pants, hat, belt, boot tops, wig and beard. Most costumes come up short when it comes to accessories, so these are good deals! Click on the photos below for more information:
The companies below have some of the lowest Santa costume prices to be found. You should easily be able to suit up for $60 or less, but be careful to pay attention to what does (and doesn't) come with the suit:
