Let me guess: those Halloween parties are now only days away, and you and your significant other, bestie, or ride-or-die have waited until the last minute to get a costume.
Plenty of retailers, like Spirit Halloween and Amazon, have hilarious, noteworthy costumes with fast shipping options to get to your door before the holiday.
Here are some last-minute, low-effort, high-reward costumes that you can wear to the next shindig:
Let's face it: the hype from last summer's box office smash "Barbie," starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is still alive and well.
Amazon has Barbie and Ken's neon workout costumes that won't break the bank. The woman's package i ncludes a pair of leggings, a leotard, wristbands, a visor, and a fanny pack for $32.89.
At the time of publication, the men's version is on sale f or $25.99. The costume includes a vest, tank top, shorts, kneepads, visor and wristbands.
If you want to go the extra mile, add a pair of rollerblades. The retailer has options for under $50.
Travis' look: Wear a Kansas City Chiefs jersey or even this $15.95 t-shirt that says "Taylor's boyfriend" will help tie the costume together. Get a fake mustache to really commit.
Roach and Exterminator
A great couple costume guaranteed to get a laugh or two is roach and exterminator (To avoid debate, play rock, paper, scissors to help decide each person's role).
Can you rock it better than "former Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Nene Leakes and her late husband, Gregg?
Neon pink and blue crayons
This is a Halloween classic and Target has an "accessory set" that includes pink and blue crayon-tip hats along with label stickers that read "pink" and "blue".
You'll want to supply your own neon pink and blue clothing to complete this costume.
But the accessory set is available for $10.
