When do you shop for Halloween Costumes?

[hbridge]

I was cleaning out some fall/winter clothes to take to consignment and I came accross my DD's Halloween Costume from last year. Since it's from BabyStyle, I hesitate to take it to consignment where I will probably only get a few dollars for it. I'm tempted to e-bay it, but don't know when I should post it. So I'm hoping to get some feedback so I have an idea as to when people shop.

As for me, I always plan ahead and usually make a final decision in early September.

funny, i was just thinking about this this morning. i keep wishing that lands end would start selling costumes again. i got the green dragon one for BB when he was just over a year old, and then last year they didn't have them for sale and i was bummed! they're such great costumes! LB will be the green dragon this year, but no idea what BB will (want to?) be this year. maybe he won't care for one more year and i'll get to pick again!

ETA: i start looking in early september, usually order by early october.

I'm already on the lookout.

I voted September, but we'll probably piece his costume together in October. 2004 I bought his costume in September, but in 2005 we pieced together a pirate costume from Goodwill items in October. This year we think he'll be a cowboy so I'm on the lookout now (plus need to make a "saddle" for the dog) but probably won't get serious until Sept. Also waiting to see if he has a preference this year.
