Home Bargains new Halloween range
Home Bargains have everything you need for a Halloween disco party this year – but it’s pink.
The discount store posted a reel of their new range on their official Facebook account and captioned it: “The Spooky disco has arrived.
“Our brand-new Halloween range just landed – glitter, ghouls and a whole lot of groove.
“Halloween but make it pink“
Amongst the new offerings is a giant pumpkin disco dome priced at £4.99.
There is also a range of cute pink spooky disco ghost ornaments including cowboy Gloria priced at £1.79.
Pink Halloween glass mason jars are on sale for £1.99 and Gloria ghost mugs are just £2.99.
There also matching disco tea towels, table runners and tablecloths to complete your pink Halloween party vibe.
Shoppers’ reactions
However, the pink glitzy decorations haven’t gone down well with Halloween fans.
The post gained nearly 300 comments and many were outraged at the colour pink for the scary event.
“No make it black wtf has pink got to do with Halloween lol,” stated one poster.
“Halloween is NOT PINK,” added another.
While a third exclaimed: “No. I don’t want pink. I just want Halloween.”
“Nope. Not Halloween at all,” added another shopper.
How to save on Halloween
CUT-OUTS WON’T KEEP: Once carved, pumpkins last just three to five days before they start to rot. So wait until a day or two before Halloween to carve yours, to ensure you won’t have to buy a replacement.
CHILLING CARVINGS: Carve your pumpkin right first time. Download free templates from Hobbycraft to help ensure no slip-ups.
DEVILISHY CHEAP DECORATIONS: Create spooky spider webs using old string or rope.
PAY LESS FOR FACE PAINTS: Cut costs by using your old eyeliners and eyeshadows, and dab on some talc when you need a ghostly white shade.
CUT-PRICE CANDY: Before you buy sweets to give out as treats, clear out your cupboards and see what you have. If you need more, shop bulk deals and compare the price per kilo before you buy.
PETRIFYING POT LUCK: Ask your guests to each bring a delicious themed dish to your party to keep hosting costs down.
SPINE-CHILLING TUNES: Turn to YouTube for a frighteningly good free playlist. There are dozens of channels with hour-long music mixes.
HOLD A SPOOKY SWISH: Swishing — or clothes-swapping with friends — is an easy way to get a new wardrobe. Hold a spooky swish before Halloween to trade costumes for kids and adults.
FRIGHTENING FREEBIES: Sign up for a free local Halloween event. Check your local Nextdoor or Facebook pages, or search eventbrite.co.uk for ideas.
BLOODY GOOD DEAL: Don’t fork out for expensive fake blood. Make your own edible version instead. You can use it for cakes and to decorate costumes.
SHOP ON NOV 1: Be organised and bag the bargains for next year by hitting the shops the day after Halloween. Remember to buy your kids’ costumes a size larger to allow for growth.
Many more agreed and another added: “Nope not Halloweeny at all love the dark colours with the autumn colours how it should so no thanks not for me.”
“No sorry it’s super cute but Halloween is meant to be dark scary colours… not for me.”
“How to ruin Halloween,” added another poster.
