Last year I saw on the Martha Stewart show how they made a witches costume from black garbage bags and duct tape.
you need the drawstring bags. one they cut a slit in the area under the drawstrings so it was a bit longer and they cut ,in a zig zag, the bottom part of the bag off, that part is used for another part of the costume.
this one is for the top half of the costume. It is put on like a tube top with the drawstrings as the shoulder straps. pull and tie to fit.
don't worry about the strings coz they get covered later.
then another bag is cut to be the skirt, zig zag like the first and that is tied around the waist. Duct tape as much as needed to keep the top and bottom together.
they also cut a third bag in half to be the sleeves...they used duct tape to hold things in place. Just tape the sleves to the top.
the cut off parts are used to make the cape and they pulled on the zig zag points to stretch them.(also did on skirt)
It was pretty cool and waterproof but you may need scissors to cut the costume off when done.
I hope I explained enough for you to figure out how to do it.
a half dozen bags and tape are cheap especially if you already have them around
where you cut the zig zag depends on your size.
the sleeves bag is cut down the sides so one half the drawstring can be each sleve gather at the neck...
cut and fit the dress to size.
just add a hat and your good to go.

There's quite a bit of cheap costumes out there. You have to be real creative. My mom was Charlie Chaplin once and wore all black(she already had everything) and painted a black mustache. Grab a wedding dress from a thrift store and paint your face, you could be a "dead bride". You can also be a vampire, find all the dark clothes from a thrift store and paint your face with some blood on the corners of your mouth. Be Betty Boop, find a cute little red dress at a thrift store, a black wig, some heels, and paint your lips red. Gypsy; gypsy skirts are in and if you look, I bet you can find one at a cheap $5 clothing store, some big hoops, a scarf to put around your head, some bangle bracelets, and a big belt to go around your waist. Whatever you think of just do it and just go to a thrift store and put it together. You don't have to know how to sew to put together a creative costume. You also don't need a lot of money, just a great imagination. Good luck!

if you go to the jewelry store CLAIRES (not sure if you have that at your mall) they have little wings or ears...you can just buy one small thing for like 3 dollars and use the rest of your costume as stuff you already have....i got the wings one year and was a buttery you just have to wear plain clothes for the rest of your outfit and maybe out some glitter on...check out costume websites and it can give you ideas of what you can make and you might not even have to buy anything

Buy a big sheet of white cloth and cut holes for the eyes. Then drape it over yourself and be a ghost. Boo!
