Halloween is approaching and many are searching for the perfect costume. Whether it's for a party or a family get-together, everyone wants to have a memorable and cheap costume. Here are some last minute ideas, because we've all been there.

Error 404: Costume Not Found

This costume is great for the super on-the-way-to-the-party-now last minute. All it requires is a white t-shirt and a sharpie, which you can find for cheap almost anywhere.

White T-shirt: $2.98 at Walmart

Sharpie: $8.96 for a multicolored pack at Walmart

The Identity Thief

This one might be a little cheesy, but I guarantee you'll get a laugh out of it. Almost everyone owns a plain colored shirt and you can pick the labels up at your local Walmart or Dollar Tree. If you're feeling crafty and have some extra time on your hands you can even try making them yourself and coming up with funny names.

T-shirt: $9.89 at Walmart

Labels: $1.98 for a pack of 100 at Walmart

Netflix and Chill

This Netflix and Chill costume is great for best friends who do everything together (even if it's last minute).

Letters and snowflakes made from card stock: $10.49 at Walmart

Rosie The Riveter

Rosie the Riveter is a classic because it's easy to do and it's super cheap. You may not even have to buy anything!

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
