    Zero zip nada. Live way out in the country. My own grandson doesn't even trick or treat at Grandmas. He gets a card with money, figure he will get enough candy else where. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

    It depends on where you live:

    When I lived out in the country we never got too many kids, so we'd get buy on a bag or two of candy.

    When I lived in Uptown in Minneapolis (almost no kids in that neighborhood) we'd get 4-5 kids and that's it.

    Now I live in a town of about 12K and we probably get 70-100 kids every year, sometimes 150.

    $12. Two bags of candy, totaling 175 pieces of random bits of chocolatey goodness, at Target, each on sale for $5.99. Even giving out 2 pieces per kid, I'm sure I'll have some left over.

    I spent about $8 on stuff my husband and I like. We live in a rural suburb and aren't anticipating and kids. Plus, we won't be home anyway, we're taking out kids into a couple of rich neighborhoods in the city. I only bought candy because I'm pregnant and wanted it.

    Zero. My kids are grown, my house is hard to get to and not many kids in the area anyway.

    We spent about $60. We get a lot of kids here because we do a big haunted house thing! My hubby will eat the leftovers, so glad I don't have a sweet tooth!!!!

    I think mine came out to like $22 after tax. I bought a big bag of the tiny Snickers, Milky Way, etc, and a 95 piece bag of Whoppers, Kit Kat, and Reese's cups. Slightly selfish reasoning on that last bag... I may be losing weight, but this fat boy is going to have some Reese's cups for Halloween :)

    P.S. I live in pretty rural/suburban neighborhood with about 70 houses, and usually get about 50-60 kids coming by. Hope I bought enough, else I may have to fight them for the Reese's.


    That's funny...I have never had a single trick or treater...kind of makes me sad...I'd love to have some...

    $24.00 plus tax. I bought 2 bags of 150 pcs at Gordon Food Service. The contents are Reese' s pieces, Peanut butter cups, Whoppers, Kit Kats, and Milk Duds. We'll have leftovers. I also had some Halloween pencils and erasers from last year and I spent $3.99 on 18 little tubs of Halloween play dough.

    $15.00. I got 6 bags for $2.50 each. Reese's Peanut Butter cups, Crunch Bars, Butterfinger, Snickers, and Tootsie Rolls.

    We will probably have between 80-100 kids stop by tonight. They seem to come in big groups all at one time. When the candy is gone, it's gone. But I did set a few of my favorites aside just for me. So later tonight when the lights are out and it looks like no one is home, I'll be inside eating candy meant for the little kids. :devil:
