Halloween costumes you can put together at the last moment
Skip the expensive Halloween costumes with easy and iconic costume ideas that you can pull out of your closet, borrow, save, or order overnight.
Chipotle wants you to dress up for its Halloween food sale and participate in an online costume contest.
Chipotle hosts its annual “Boolito” Halloween celebration, offering holiday deals on groceries to members of the Chipotle Rewards loyalty program who visit the restaurant in their spookiest costumes on Friday, October 31st.
This year, Rewards members in costume can purchase an entree for $6 (entree prices typically range from $11 to $15). It’s still a bargain, but in 2019 you could get an entree for $4, and in 2008 you could get a free burrito if you dressed like a burrito.
Chipotle also has plenty of Halloween activities, including a Boolito Costume Contest running from Monday, October 27th through Sunday, November 2nd. Take a photo of yourself in costume and post it on TikTok for a chance to win one of three Chipotle VIP cards worth over $500 (and get 50 free entry codes).
“Bolito started as a simple way to bring people together for Halloween and, over 25 years, has grown into the largest annual celebration of real fans and real food,” Chris Brandt, president and chief brand officer of Chipotle, said in a news release. “Bolito has long served as a runway for guests to show off their creative outfits, so this year we’ll be leveraging TikTok to drive even more excitement and inspiration.”
