Cheap costumes in Calgary

[boogerz]

Anyone know where the cheapest place to rent or buy costumes around Calgary is?

I need three dinosaur costumes without having to breaking the bank.

Not sure if Reid's on 17th Ave S.W. does costumes year round, but its a hobby-style shop so you might want to call them and ask....

What's your idea of "cheap" and what sort of quality are you looking at?

The Costume Shoppe has good selection but is expensive. Dons Hobby Shop doesn't have the same selection but is pretty good.

As Cheap as cheap as it can get. These will be used for a day or two and behind a handi-cam. As long as it looks like Dinosaur, it will work.


Thanks for the Reid's suggestion. They have nothing. I also tried the Custome shoppe, but they don't carry dinos and they are rather expensive

I wonder if Value Village as a costume area. If you're looking for cheap anything, the usually have it.

They have a huge one around Halloween. Not sure about nowadays though.

I would try Chuckles.

Hubby and I went to an '80's party this past weekend.... they have a ton of stuff.

Don's doesn't have too much. I would go to that costume shop in Inglewood (I forgot its name).

A dinosaur probably isn't a furry so the other guests at your party might shun you.

Thanks for the continued suggestions. Value Village seeming has everything but Dinosaurs. Same with Don's Hobby Shop. I'll give Chuckles a call in the morning


It looks like I might have to resort to good ol fleabay

Probably wrong size. Just cut it under the arms, split the legs and wear them like chaps....
