buy candy you don't like...lol

I usually buy candy I don't like. Not a fan of Butterfingers so I usually get those.

I've been diabetic for yrs and holidays are hard. Everyone now includes a three aisle diluge of candy. For Halloween though, I'd buy something you know you won't eat. I don't do coconut at all or nuts in my candy. So Snicker's or mounds would be a good buy. There is no way I'm touching that. Anything left over the next morning....take it to work and let your co-workers have them.

You could opt for adorable halloween pencils and erasers, I used to love receiving those as a child. As many above said, you can also only purchase candy you sincerely don't like, and only buy enough for your expected kids based on the last few years, not enough to sit around in your home.

If you wanna go all out to make someone's Halloween memorable, you could always do this...

Go to McDonald's and get a few packets of coupons. They sell like 10 for $1 and the coupons are for free apple dippers or ice cream.

Give them money instead.

ok so halloween at your house?? I'm bringing a few costumes and hitting your house a few times. I need new clothes since all mine look like clown suits.

Just hang it outside your house or put it in a bowl on your porch or something.

Will you be less tempted by the giant sized candy bars than by the fun size? If so, give those out! You will both not eat it AND become the hero of the neighborhood children all at once.

Is it really bad that I think candy onions sound tastier than candy apples?

Where I live the fancy grocery stores (Whole Foods, Central Market) sell large bags of prepackaged pretzels specifically for Halloween. This usually goes over pretty well. Also, I go to www.orientaltradingcompany.com and buy little items in bulk, and its super cheap. Things like spider rings, glow in the dark vampire teeth, temporary tattoos, stickers, pencils etc. They are shipped to my door and I'm ready for Halloween! Plus, I can wear as many plastic rings, vampire teeth, and temporary tattoos as I like and not gain a pound, lol!

Wendys also does this for frosties.

what about little trinkets or something? there is still time to order something from oriental trading. they have tons of cute little giveaways that are affordable

Not sure where you live but local super grocery stores (HEB, Target, Walmart) typically sell Halloween rings and stuff. Spiders, skeleton, pumpkin rings like what you see on top of cupcakes around holiday time. Anything like that would work fine if you really just want to give something out. Otherwise buy candy night before, hand out night of, and whatever is left over when you're ready to turn the light out put in a bucket you wouldn't mind losing and sit it outside. Believe me..there won't be any left in the morning lol

I wouldn't give carrots. Your home may not be vandalized, but I can almost guarantee they would be thrown away.

Plus, as another person mentioned, giving away food/candy that isn't pre-packaged make some suspicious.

theaimster30

I'm not really sure I want people to think a sex offender lives there! lol

..... huh?

Is this in reply to turning off your light and not answering the door? Tons of people do this - people with babies who are trying to sleep, people who have run out of candy, or people who don't want to participate for whatever reason.

It's fine. Most of the kids won't even bother you.


*Edit: Most parents will just throw the carrots out because they don't want their kids to have something someone else has handled and potentially tainted.

Yes, I was referring to the lights being out. Also, the carrots I was referring to are Bunny Luv prepackaged carrots from Costco. They are about the size of the apple slices packages in kids meals (and only 25 cals!) I'm in healthcare & a germaphobe. No way I'd give out food I had packaged. :^ )

Ditto on the popcorn balls. Those are what I buy for my employees at work, most of whom are overweight. I don't like contributing to their health issues, but like to give them treats around the holidays.

You could also give out those little Halloween play doh packages, sometimes they even have little boxes of temp tattoos and stickers, or glow-stick bracelets. Plenty of non-candy options and the kids will still be happy. And if you have any left-over you can use them next year!

I just buy the type candy I don't personally like- in other words nothing chocolate.
