It's our FIRST Halloween in our new HOME!! Chat Icon I CAN'T WAIT!! I bought a wreath this week to let the kids know that my house is "festive"...Chat Icon

I hate the holiday, but the kids are so cute and since I'm the corner house in a cul de sac I expect some traffic.

Doing damage this weekend at Target...Chat Icon

my advice - don't buy too much

unless you don't mind getting stuck with candy (I do!) lol

my first year here I went NUTS and bought a TON! I think 10 kids came Chat Icon

Well, we live in a community with no outside traffic (for the most part) so I think we may get some foot kiddie traffic (it's very safe in our 'hood). But I plan on opening bags as needed so that I could return any unopened bags! Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff from candy ... what did you buy for Halloween?

2 big bags from Target, one has Life Savers candies (gummy ones as well as regular) and the other has Twizzler Pull and Peels, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Jolly Ranchers, etc.

ETS: I bought a ton of candy the first year we were in our house and made up bags for all the kids and I had 2, yes 2, trick or treaters.

I refuse to be stuck with all that candy again. Especially because it's a school night, I don't expect a lot of kids.

Halloween is really big in our neighborhood, and I was so surprised at how many we had last year. So, I bought:

2 bags with 100 pieces - Laffy Taffy, Crunch, Butterfingers and Baby Ruths.
2 bags with 50 pieces - M&M's selection
100 mini bags of pretzels.

My side of the street has no side walk, so they don't tend to trick or treat on our side. Last year we had no trick or treaters, and the previous owners told us that in the 10 years they lived in the house, they never had a single one.


Chat Icon that's so sad




really? why's that?

I've never been much into Halloween, so I guess it doesn't bother me all that much. Besides, I hate opening the door when DH isn't home and he would for sure not be home when the trick or treaters are out.

I also had a bad experience once, I was home alone at my parents house on Halloween, and someone tried to break in, even though it was obvious there was someone home.

I got the pretzels last year or the year before, I forget. All the kids would say "awww, no not more pretzels" Chat Icon

This year I bought a box of 100 blowpops. I'm going to take out the good flavors (for me!) and leave the box on the stoop since we won't be home.

Re: Spinoff from candy ... what did you buy for Halloween?

I HATE Halloween; always did and always will. I, especially, hate being forced to participate in something I absolutely detest. However, I buy the cheapest, biggest bag of candy I can find. I do this, because if you don't give them something, who knows what they will do to your house. I wish it would rain, heavily.

Nothing...



I know where my kids will NOT be trick-or-treating!!Chat Icon

We just bought those Halloween Utz pretzels. I go out trick-or-treating with my kids and miss all the trick-or-treaters at my house.

This year I'm just putting the bowl on my stoop.
