Halloween treats: What to give?
I'm in my own place by myself for the first time this year and I've been thinking about what to hand out for Halloween. My sister works for a dentist and she handed out dental floss one year. I'm sure she was popular, just not in a good way. I thought I would hand out weight watcher bars but they are crazy expensive. Then I thought about handing out tooth brushes but I don't want some juvenile delinquent setting fire to my house. A friend suggested I hand out poison apples because it would be fitting of my personality but I don't think I'd like prison. Then I thought about getting a coupon book and handing out one coupon per child. Like here's a coupon for 20 cents off a box of Cheezits for you and a coupon for adult diapers for you...that probably wouldn't go over well either. My mom used to hand out the full sized candy bars. We saw a lot of the same kids multiple times. I'm pretty my broke and that is out of my budget. I thought I could just leave a thing of cheap candy out with a sign to take one but no kid ever takes just one and I don't feel like catering to the stingy. So I decided to do what would make me most happy and turn all the lights off and not answer the door at all. Sounds like a plan! :)

Andi decided handing out Capri Sun (thanks, Costco) to the little demons on all-Hallows-eve would be a great idea!! It was (dammit). Now she wants to do it again.....and again....and AGAIN!!!! Is she NUTS!!!??? Just like you said, we have and will see the same kids over and over again. Sure, it's not a sugary-sweet-type-of-rot-your-teeth-out-of-your-skull treat, but the kids love them!! Me....well, I'm just not THAT nice. I guess that's one of the many ways Andi complements me. She's nicer than I am. Like you, I just as soon turn off the lights.....and hide on the roof with the hose. :)
