COOKIE MONSTER COSTUME

Posted: Thu, Jan 22 2009, 1:51 pm Post subject: COOKIE MONSTER COSTUME

I'm trying to find affordable cookie monster costumes on line and not coming up with leads that are under $20 each. I need in two sizes: 4T and 18 months.

Any ideas or suggestions?
TIA

you can try freecycle.com, and enter your neighborhood. You can post your request and if someone has a costume to give away they will contact you.

I guess you tried ebay. What about Party City (store, not web site) I noticed once that they had a lot of costumes in the back of the store.

I actually was in party city today and they did not have cookie monster (I checked for you).

As for ebay, I wonder if you can contact the seller and offer to buy two costumes for $40 and see what s/he says. He can then make a non-auction sale and you can buy. Is that allowed on ebay?

No other great ideas here.

If you can't find...can you get blue sleepers and make 2 eyeballs on a headband using styrofoam balls.

http://www.costumeexpress.com/Cookie-Monster-Costume/38176/ProductDetail.aspx?REF=AFC-sas are $25 each which is a bit better, but not sure about shipping and if your older one can squeeze into a 2T

I actually have one, but its size 6-12 mos. I think my dd was about 18 mos when she wore it, but she was tiny. PM me if you are interested.
