As long as you're willing to laugh at yourself while wearing a ridiculously bad costume you can throw a low budget look together with stuff lying around your house.

Case in point- this Krang cosplayer made her costume out of a cardboard box, duct tape and a bunch of pink (yarn?) glued together in alien form. She may not pose a threat to the Ninja Turtles, but her budget look is definitely going to get her noticed!
