We're scrooges who don't participate in our building's trick-or-treating thing.

[bania]

Lol I want to know what the "more than $75" vote is for.

[mskitkat]

We just spent $45. Last year we bought 2 costco bags and were out in under an hour. This year we bought 3.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

We go out. But in the few years we lived in our house before K was born, you couldn't buy enough. Our street is always packed.

Whoa! Do you get a lot of kids or are you super generous with each one?

About $20

I wait until Halloween, and I use as many coupons as possible. Usually the candy is on sale, too.

Last year I paid $25 for $50 worth of candy. The good stuff to, Reeses, Snickers, Milkyways. I don't skimp.

Some day I want to be the house that hands out King Size candy bars!

ETA: I'm not buying any this year, I won't be home. But I might buy a bag or two for H and I after when it's on clearance.

I live in a Halloween tourist town. We get a TON of kids.

[venice2007]

$10. Full sized bar packs bought today. Hope they make it to Thursday

[nursewife]

We usually get 2 big boxes of small treats. For the neighbour kids I give them each a can of pop and make a treat bag with small treats and big chocolate bars.

[strawberriquen]

We get NO trick-or-treaters, which is really sad. I love seeing kids in costumes! When I start to take B out for Halloween, we'll have to go to a place with sidewalks and close houses.

[Deleted]

$0. No trick or treaters

[LaceyV]

We spent 10 bucks today, if I need to send H out for more i will but we didn't have a huge amount of TOTs last year but that could be because they switched days because of the hurricane so we'll see what happens.

[bonquiqui]

Zero

[EmilieMadison]

we've lived here for 4 years and we've never had a trick or treater. $0 suckas!

sent from: I'm on my phone, don't expect much.

[RoxMonster]

Zero. We don't hand out candy.

But if we're talking about Halloween candy that we eat ourselves, then I spent about 5 bucks last week on some Reese's for me

Ouch!! I see now why they had the Halloween budget discussion. Lol.

[auberge]

I spent $42.

[messykitchen]

Nothing. I can't force excitement over other people's kids telling the same jokes over and over.

This probably makes me a horrible person.

I do buy day after halloween massive bags of butterfingers though.

[wambam]

$0

About fifty dollars. It's insane, but we live in a massive sub. And people come into our sub by the car load.

This is us also, last year it was monsooning and we still went through 3 Costco bags. This year we have 4.

[noodleskooze]

This is our first year having a house, so we're not sure whether to expect kids or not, let alone how many. We bought one big bag at Target for $15 and hope that's enough!

There are neighborhoods around here that get 500-700 (or more) kids. I can imagine it. We get about 200. Our neighborhood is only four blocks, but a lot of kids come in from other places. 

[jr009j]

We spent about $75 for this year. We just moved into the neighborhood and have been informed by all the neighbors that Halloween in a big deal on this street. I guess someone did a count last year and counted about 650 kids.
