Spruce up your house and outfits with some budget-friendly stores that can fuel your fall fever on a budget. Whether you're after some great fuzzy socks or looking for a sticker collection, these are five good places to score some great deals.

1. Dollar tree

Looking for non-traditional goodies for kids? Stop the search and head to your closest dollar store. They have a variety of cute party supplies and favors that are sure to be a crowd pleaser...or your family whom you have been in quarantine with for seven months.

2. Target

Pumpkin spice and everything nice. Not only do they have that glorious, frugal clearance section up front everyone knows. They also have tasty baking options. Did you know that you can now make a halloween cookie house decorated in candy like you would for christmas? Genius. Don't forget the spice cake mix!

3. Walmart

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. They have a huge selection whether it be the globs of candy you're after, mugs, costumes or festive Halloween leggings, it might be better for your bank account to leave your girlfriend at home for this visit. Surprise her with fresh pumpkin!

4. At Home

This is a one stop shop for those of you who like to go overboard on decorating. They have halloween stuff out as early as July if I remember those days I went out for something other than a drive- thru. Pillows, blankets, and skeletons galore. One of my favorites is a candle that when it melts, looks like it's bleeding.

5. Goodwill

My girlfriend is an avid thrift shopper and she swears by this one. You never know what exactly you'll find but that's part of the fun. Around Halloween time is no exception. They have shirts, costumes, decorations, plates, lights, and even some never used cosmetic products to complete your disguise. Plus if you don't see something in the seasonal section, there is a plethora of unique clothes you can put together for your own costume idea!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
