I don’t give out candy; I give out nickels. I started doing this when candy hit $2.50 a bag a while back. To me it’s a win/win/win/win/win situation:

Kids love getting money, even a small amount, and it’s unexpected

Parents don’t have to worry that it’s tainted with drugs

Whether twenty kids come to our door, or no kids come at all, I’m prepared.

There’s no leftover candy to tempt us

There’s no leftover candy to take to work, where folks give you the ‘ole Evil Eye because everyone is sick of candy

Two or three rolls of nickels (there are twenty in a roll) are sufficient.

Bought movie theater size boxes of chocolate covered mini tootsie roll bits and Junior Caramels (makers of Junior Mints) - found a GREAT deal at the local Rose's store when they were selling them 3/$1 - couldn't pass that up! Cheaper than buying full size bars in bulk at BJ's or Sams.

Of course we always buy candy we like too so that if 70-80 kids don't show up and we're stuck with it, it's something we all like :0

I have twix and yes, I opened them!

Mmmm... mini Butterfingers and Snickers. We only have a few kids around the neighbourhood and husbee ends up eating his favs. :0P

hershey bars and twix bars. if there's any left then i'm stuck with my favorites!!!!! At least i'm honest.

A who bag. Gee, that makes a lot of sense. It should have been whole bag. I need to get off here. My medication is starting to kick in! Hee hee!!

Reese's! I can't lie though. Truth be told, I buy a who bag and we never have trick-or-treaters. So, waste not want not! LOL!

Lollipops and bubble gum.

I don't know.... I keep eating what I buy and having to buy more :-)
