Thought this would be about people spiking candy with WEED!

Seriously, I've spent 3 decades looking for the houses that are giving that away, and I'm beginning to think we may have been lied to...

This was my haul at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party a few weeks ago. Probably $60 or so retail.

If you want to book a Disney or Universal vacation, reach out to me in the user profile.

I remember the mounds of candy in the living room from our haul. Me and my siblings had enough candy until Easter.

When our son was younger he actually enjoyed staying home and handing out the candy more than going around getting it. We had a yellow lab at the time and he and her would sit out on the front porch and greet everyone with the candy bowl. Probably my lab's funnest day of the year with all the attention and pets from the kids and her parents.

This year I installed slow frequency, strobe lights.

It causes trick-or-treaters to oscillate.

lol poorz.

I'm giving out two... not one... but two full-size bars at our house. AND a mini bottle of wine for any adult interested.

I thought TexAgs was the land of the Rich. Sad how so many have fallen on hard times.

Seriously. Grab 2 bags. 600 pieces on the bottom shelf and you're looking at enough for 50-60 kids. Make a bunch of kids happy and Make Halloween Great Again for $50. That's less than a decent dinner out for 2 and definitely brings more joy. I can't imagine being so cheap to pretend I'm not home to save a few bucks on candy.

10 pcs of candy per kid? We'd be out in about 10 min at that rate.

No ***** Last year, we bought 3 of those giant bags from Costco, gave 2 pieces to each kid, and we gave out every single piece, and that's with Halloween on a school night. That's roughly 250 kids that came to our door. I fully expected to see 300+ this year.

I will be turning out the lights and watching something that night, maybe Halloween or a couple of the classic Universal monster movies. My kids are grown, so I no longer have to participate.

Man you all suck.

Halloween is awesome. It is a total blast.

Last year was the last time for us. 1 out of every 3 kids was a highschooler with no costume that couldn't even be bothered to look up from their phone to interact beyond grabbing candy and walking away. Expensive candy is just poop flavored icing on the doodoo cake.

I still give teenagers candy, but sneak in a cube of beef or chicken bullion, the foil wrapped ones that look like wrapped caramel.

Several posters are already wearing Karen costumes.

I have to wonder if the curmudgeons on this thread just had a chitty childhood. My childhood memories suck so I'm going to cheap out and turn the light off. No candy for you!

Best idea I heard was sample tubes of toothpaste and toothbrushes. Some Gideon pocket Bibles would be good too.

Bunch of scrooges.

The subdivision where I used to live was fairly nice, not million dollar homes, but still nice. Over time, the trick or treaters became far too many junior high and early high school kids, no costume, and mostly Hispanic. But enough kids that the sheer number would clog the streets. Goofballs pulling low boy trailers with square bales of hay on it, and 20 or so kids on the trailer, driving down the middle of the street, no room on either side to get around them. Would take me 30 to 45 minutes to get from the entrance to my house (on my way home from work). And they would start showing up 30 minutes before dark. I somewhat jokingly said if they are that desperate for candy, I will buy a 55 gallon drum and fill it up at the outside of the subdivision and they can have at it.

It became a safety issue, a fire truck or ambulance could not get through the crowd should the need to occur. Eventually, the cops made people park outside the entrance to the subdivision and walk in to get candy.

We had a few folks in the subdivision who used to count the number of kids they had and post stuff like "we had 1,147 kids this year, up 341 from last year." lol These are the type of people who liked to, as adults, wear a costume to work.

We now live on a farm to market road, over 500 feet driveway. I will have the lights off, a dozen claymores rigged and ready, lots of razor wire. This will be our first Halloween here, have no idea if anyone would attempt to come to the house if the lights were on. We have a lot of lighting so I suspect some would.
