It may be no surprise that Carnival costs a lot of money especially when you don't live in Trinidad. It can also cost even more when you want to go extra fab which can inlcude purchasing a FL costume, makeup, boots etc. In addition, the fetes you select can add $ to your budget. But it helps when you make do with what you have from previous Carnivals or in your closet. For instance, I'm using my bag from last year and wearing something I have already on Carnival Monday. I have a designated Monday boots that have matched all my costumes in the last 2 years, including my costume for JA carnival so that will be worn this Carnival Monday. My toe protectors are still good from last JA carnival and can be used again. This is where I am so far in my budget:Airfare- Caribbean Airlines- US$437
Titans FL Costume- US$916
Beach house fete (tentative)- US$125
Sunny side up fete- US$100
Boots US$65
Makeup (2 days)- US$65
Fete outfits- US$100
Boots inserts- US$20
Fletch Dry powder- US$6
Stockings (2)- US$15
Weave- undecided
