To get some inspiration on how you can use your NUS Extra or Totum card to bag a bargain costume that still looks super creepy, then keep on reading! Order your NUS Extra card or Totum online, or come to the SU to buy one in person (did you know you can pay for it using Books Plus?)

The Costume

You can get 10% off New Look year round with an NUS or Totum Card.  You can also get a massive 20% off with Missguided all year round as well. Miss Selfridge and ASOS both offer 10% discounts to NUS card holders. If you shop in store at Topshop or Topman, all you need to do is display your NUS or Totum card for a 10% discount. Guys and gals, all it takes is the right inspiration. A red dress, or red trousers, could become a devil costume. Or an all-black outfit could be anything from a witch or wizard, to a cat. Be creative!

Trim that beard!

For those of you wanting to groom your facial hair for that perfect werewolf look, you can get 55% of Braun grooming products at Amazon. There’s no better time to try out some wicked Wolverine sideburns.

Don't forget to accessorise!

For the perfect creepy, or super cute accessories, head to Claire’s Accessories for a whopping 15% off. From devil horn headbands to flower garlands, they have everything you need to add the perfect accessory to your costume - all for less with an NUS or Totum card.
