The outfit has been dubbed a “perfect costume” for Sue Sylvester, from Glee
The budget retailer has been praised for stocking a bright red tracksuit that fans say is a dead ringer for Sue Sylvester, the fierce cheerleading coach from Glee.
TikToker @Malikiss1 filmed the outfit in-store and captioned it: “Run to Primark for the easiest Sue Sylvester Halloween costume.”
The clip quickly racked up comments, with shoppers writing: “I love this,” “I need this,” and “Omg they have them in the kids section too so can match with the kiddos.”
Another added: “I bought it just for this!”, proving the tracksuit is already flying off shelves as a fancy dress hack.
Halloween deals
And with Halloween only a month away, bargain hunters are also snapping up spooky deals from other high street favourites.
Among the stand-out items is a £4.99 pumpkin disco dome and a £1.79 cowboy ghost ornament called Gloria.
Pink mason jars and mugs are also on sale, alongside matching disco tea towels and table runners to complete the look.
With Primark’s tracksuit hack, Poundland’s clearance bargains and Home Bargains’ disco-inspired range, shoppers are spoiled for choice when it comes to cheap and cheerful Halloween prep this year.
Halloween is the perfect opportunity to get dressed up, take on a different persona and have fun with your look.
These days, celebrities provide the perfect inspiration for costumes, however, they also have a team of stylists, makeup artists and endless bounds of cash at their disposal.
So how do you make an outfit like theirs work for you?
A lot of stars make their outfits look sexy and your lingerie drawer is the perfect starting point.
You can use anything from a bra, fishnet tights, stockings and suspenders to add to your look, then depending on the look you’re going for add makeup according.
I.e wearing a black bodice and tights, add some red lipstick and dark eyes for a vampy look.
The rest of your wardrobe can be more inspiring than you think too – for example a plain black can be a perfect base for your costume.
If you are however happy to spend a bit of money on your Halloween costume but are running out of time then Amazon is your go too, there are so many costumes to choose from with many sitting under its Prime next day delivery option.
Or if you’re wanting to see what the in store shops have to offer, look to the supermarkets and budget stores such as B&M, Poundland and Primark which are still full of accessories and clothing to fulfil your Halloween wishes.
Finally, last year, a Halloween-daft mum left people stumped after creating incredible optical illusion costumes for her son – with people asking “what one is the kid?”.

Postcodes in London, Leeds Glasgow and Cardiff could be quids in
According to Leasing Options, residents living near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (N17) enjoy the highest earning potential, with an average daily income of £22.25 throughout the year.
Other lucrative areas include postcodes near Leeds‘ Elland Road Stadium, where homeowners can make £22 a day, and Chelsea‘s Stamford Bridge in London, offering £21.50 per day.
For those living near Wembley Stadium, the country’s iconic football venue that hosts the England National Team, cup finals and events like the recent Community Shield, the earning potential is similar at £21 per day.
Likewise, residents near Scotland’s Hampden Park and Wales’ Cardiff City Stadium can expect to earn around £21 a day.
Further down the rankings, homeowners in Liverpool living near Anfield and Everton Stadium can still earn a respectable £13 per day, with prices often more than tripling on matchdays or during special events.
With the Premier League season kicking off this weekend, renting out an unused driveway could be one of the simplest and most effective sidehustles for homeowners looking to make some extra cash.
It isn’t just sporting events either, as some of the highest earners this year so far are music events – including high-profile concerts and festivals.
These events often result in single-day earnings that surpass what would typically be made in a week – making them a particularly lucrative option for those living nearby.
At the top of the list is Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester, where driveway rentals can fetch an average of £165.67 per day during the event.
Following closely is Beyonce’s tour stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with homeowners earning an average of £150.26 per day during her shows.

Leasing Options analysed data from JustPark to identify the UK’s most profitable areas for driveway rentals.
The study focused on over 25 major cities and key 2025 events, mapping more than 750 postcode districts using public data.
Commercial listings were excluded, location accuracy was verified and districts with insufficient data were removed, leaving over 550 reliable areas.
Median weekday and weekend rates were averaged to calculate daily earning potential, while event-day prices were separately assessed for major fixtures.
Commenting on the data, Mike Thompson, Chief Executive Officer at Leasing Options, said: “With demand for event parking soaring across the UK, it’s clear that homeowners have a real opportunity to turn their unused driveways into a valuable source of extra income.
“Our data shows that locations near major stadiums like Tottenham Hotspur, Elland Road and Wembley consistently attract high rental prices.
“During big-name events, these figures can more than triple.
“It’s a smart, low-effort way for people to benefit from the buzz around them, especially in areas where parking is at a premium.
“As we look ahead to a packed 2025 event calendar, the potential for driveway rentals is only set to grow.”
How to rent out your driveway
For those interested in turning their unused driveway into a steady source of income, there are a handful of steps you can follow.
Check Eligibility – Review your mortgage or lease agreement to ensure renting out your driveway is allowed, and also check with your local council to confirm you don’t need planning permission.
Choose a Platform – Platforms like JustPark, YourParkingSpace and ParkOnMyDrive make it easy to list your driveway.
You can sign up, create a profile and provide details about your parking space, such as dimensions, location and availability.
Set Your Price – Research current rates in your area using the platform’s tools or by browsing other listings.
You can even adjust the price for special events or peak times to maximise earnings.
Add Photos and a Description – Make sure upload clear photos of your driveway and write a good description, highlighting features such as proximity to venues, security and ease of access.
Manage Bookings – Set your availability for weekdays, weekends or specific dates. Also use the platform’s booking system to approve requests and communicate with renters.
Ensure Insurance – Consider public liability insurance to cover accidents or damages while someone is using your driveway.
Track Your Income – You must keep records of your earnings and remember that if they exceed £1,000 annually, you’ll need to declare them to HMRC under the Property Income Allowance.
This comes as Sun Motors recently looked at the family motors that lose the least value over time – with a luxury compact SUV taking the top spot.
New data from the analysis of 40 million UK car sales over a typical three-year ownership period highlights which family models hold their value best.
Experts from Carmoola have recently released their new Car Depreciation Index, developed with vehicle data specialists Brego, which ranks the top-performing family cars for resale value.
They found that the Porsche Macan is the slowest-depreciating family car sold in the UK – losing just 19.9% of its value over three years.
The Macan is particularly popular in the UK due to its blend of sporty performance, SUV practicality and the prestige of the Porsche badge.
It’s championed for being agile and powerful, with a well-tuned suspension that makes it enjoyable to drive on various UK roads, from city streets to country lanes.
