Between costumes and decorations, prepping for Halloween can get expensive, but not every trick-or-treat night item has to dent your budget. Some of the best seasonal picks can be found at Five Below for just a few bucks, while similar options at Costco cost several times more.
Costco is known for bulk and bigger-scale items, which makes sense for families who want oversize decor or party bundles. Still, when the goal is just to add a seasonal touch, it’s worth asking whether paying that much more is really necessary.
Here’s a closer look at four similar items you can get at both stores, with Five Below prices coming way under the Costco versions.

Pumpkin Pillow
- Five Below price: $5.00
- Costco price: $10.97
A plush pumpkin pillow sets the mood for spooky season. At Five Below, you can find a pumpkin pillow that comes in either pink or orange. Costco’s pumpkin pillow, on the other hand, comes in only orange — and it’s more than double the price.
Cookie House Kit
- Five Below price: $5.00
- Costco price: $39.99
Building a Halloween cookie house is a fun tradition for October, whether it’s Five Below’s ‘Stranger Things’ kit or Costco’s two-pack bundle from Bakery Bling. You’ll get two with Costco’s option, though you’ll pay much more as well.
Outside Decor
- Five Below price: $40.00
- Costco price: $129.99
For Halloween fans who like to decorate their yards, Five Below has options, including this 6-foot evil clown animatronic. Costco has a 65-inch inflatable Bluey family. OK, so one is terrifying, the other adorable, but the price gap speaks for itself.
Square Pillow
- Five Below price: $7.00
- Costco price: $27.99
Five Below’s ‘Stranger Things’ squish pillow is $7 for a 14-inch square. Costco’s Halloween square pillow comes in four different designs, but it costs about four times as much, albeit it’s 22 inches.
