    Re: How much do you spend on Halloween treats?

    We don`t do halloween , but I bought a bag ($5.00) of candy for the fall party at church. It was held last Wednesday night . I will go next week when the  candy goes 75% of and buy candy for Christmas stockings. One year I bought $120.00 worth of candy for less than $30 !!! I used it to make treat bags for a mission trip. That year turned me on to the savings that can be found the week after halloween ! This year I am decorating for a fall wedding on Nov 7 so I am hoping to find some deals on fall flowers and candles .

    At the last minute I bought a 150 piece bag of tootsie roll pops on markdown for $2.50.  That brought my total up to $12.50 for 300 pieces of candy.  Good thing I bought the last batch, too, b/c we used all but maybe 20 or 30 pieces.
    The whole point of turkey is to get to the pie.

    Last year, ten bucks and we had trick-or-treaters.  This year, ten bucks and even the tenants' kids didn't show up.  Everyone's frightened of H1N1, I guess. Found out last week that the best  area Chinese restauranteur had a young daughter die from it.

    We get to dodge this "holiday". Being empty nesters, we dont have kids at home to buy for, and our church usually has a service on that night, so we just go there!
