How To Dress Your Baby As A Burrito And Score Some Cheap Chipotle On Halloween

by Meg Kehoe

If you're unsure of what you want to dress your baby as for Halloween, look no further. There's a double whammy you can take advantage of this year, by dressing up your little one and getting some delicious food in return. That's right, if you can figure out how to dress your baby as a burrito this Halloween, you can score some crazy low-priced Chipotle.

According to Slate, way back when, you used to be able to dress up as a burrito and score some free Chipotle, as part of their boorito celebration. In recent years past, the company has changed up their thinking, asking customers to come costumed in exchange for a cheaper burrito. This past year, Chipotle has asked customers to add something a little unusual to their costumes in order to partake in their $3 boorito. I'm pretty sure bringing a baby dressed up as a burrito to the front of the line will count as something a little unusual. With all the options for dressing your baby as a burrito below, you'll be sure to wow the Chipotle crew with your ingenuity, your expert parenting, and your love for their brand. So read on for five ways to dress your baby as a burrito this Halloween, so you can grab your $3 boo-rito and celebrate three of your favorite things: your baby, your boo-rito, and Chipotle.
