    Enthusiasts for the decor of the harvest season have been going wild for a faux pumpkin wreath found at Pottery Barn despite its high price tag.

    But savvy shoppers know money can be saved by finding "dupes" or copycat items that look nearly identical but cost way less, like this nearly identical one from At Home.

    See how to score your own pumpkin garland for less than the sold-out original from Potter Barn.

    Don't Miss: 9 ways to tackle high grocery costs you won't hear about from your grocery store


    1. Pottery Barn

    Price: $89

    The faux pumpkins are crafted from corn husks and layered on a pinewood base to create a lovely seasonal wreath for your door or mantle. These garlands are so popular that they are already sold out — but the dupes might be better (and so much cheaper) anyway!

    2. At Home

    Price: $24.99

    The faux pumpkins on this wreath are crafted from fabric rather than corn husks but are layered in the same pattern to create a nearly identical garland from a visual perspective. Best of all, they're $65 less than the more fragile corn husk version.

    3. Michael's

    Price: $2.99 - $45

    This DIY option requires some assembly, but miniature corn husk pumpkins can also be purchased in packs of three. We estimate it would take roughly 15 packs to recreate the full-size garland, but one of the great things about crafting your own decorations is you can make them whatever size you want.

    Bottom line

    If you're hoping to get your hands on Pottery Barn's faux pumpkin wreath, it may be too late — but other options cost less anyway. Sometimes, the best way to save money is to look for product dupes or to buy the base materials and create your own copycat crafts. If you're good at it, it could even be a way to make some extra money on the side.

    Money tips that can work for everyone

    No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

    Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

    Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

    Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
