Lidl are selling Halloween costumes for €4.99, and the kids will love 'em (trust us)

Long gone are the days when the kids would be satisfied with a bin bag as a cape.

No, now they want to be the roundest pumpkin or the scariest skeleton or, in my daughter's case, a dragon with fire breathing capabilities…

And these costumes can set us mums back a fair bob or two, especially considering not all of us are handy in the aul DIY department.

Which makes Lidl's costumes even more delightful, because you can kit the kids out for just €4.99!

For those under four, there are pumpkin, spider, vampire, and skeleton costumes, while those aged four to 10 can dress up as a skeleton, skeleton princess, vampire, witch, ghost pirate or ghost bride.  

Lidl also have a range of adult costumes and terrifying home decorations for those who really want to go all out!

The Halloween range is available in 153 stores nationwide now, while stocks lasts.
