Freudian Slip. This one is pretty easy. Head to your lingerie drawer or to the nearest Target or Wal-Mart for a full slip (you know the kind your mother told you to wear underneath thin dresses). Using fabric paint, write the words "ego","id", etc all over the slip.
Total cost: $10.00-$15.00, depending on the size of your ego.

Costumes for Couples
Game Show Host and Pretty Assistant. This is a perfect costume for couples. Go to your nearest thrift store and find the cheesiest, late ’70s/early ’80s polyester, double knit suit ensemble for men, and an ’80s deranged-bridesmaid dress for women. Purchase a children’s play microphone (Targethas some for super- cheap prices). Buy the cheapest hair spray you can find (All Net is good) and tease your hair like you’re from the Jersey shore. Using a piece of cardboard, cut out a star about 8 inches in diameter and glue on gold glitter. Using silver glitter puffy paint, write the word “Grand Prize” in the center of the star.
Total Cost: $20-40.00 for both costumes, depending on whether or not your show is picked-up for another season.
Costumes for Groups
The Seven Deadly Sins. This costume is cheap and easy. Get six friends to go as the other deadly sins: greed, envy, wrath, gluttony, pride and lust. Make sure you choose sloth because it’s the cheapest costume of the seven sins. All you have to do is not wash your hair for two days, roll out of bed in your PJs and you’re are set!
Total Cost: $0, depending on how sinful you’re are willing to get.
