Fuck. I ran out of candy.

[W.T.Faulkner]

This is our first year in this neighborhood and there are literally HUNDREDS of kids roaming around. I bought two HUGE bags of candy and it still wasn't enough!

Now I'm sitting here with my lights off waiting for my sister to pick up some more. Of course, BF is working. lol

[flex]

Give them boxes of Jello!!

[katiescarlett]

Same happened to me last year. I bought tons this year and it is starting to run low. GL! Last year when we turned the lights off they were still ringing the bell!

[flex]

Desperate times call for desperate measures. lol

[jenna]

Bought about 8 bags of candy and 2 bags of goldfish. Only one bag is a giant one from Costco.

[ginap]

Start handing out pennies. One per kid.

[styme46]

I bought a crap load last year. It was our first Halloween here and I figured that we would have a ton of kids since we literally live one block away from an elementary school, a junior high school, AND a high school. We had hardly any. So I froze the left overs and am handing that out tonight. I didn't buy any extra so hopefully we don't run out. 

[mskitkat]

Let me send you mine. This is our first year here, and there are NO kids! I've only had 1. I'm so sad. I miss my Halloween destination town.

[thatgirl2478]

yeah, I'll send you some of ours. I think we had about 30 kids... which is more than last year. i just give out handfuls of candy at this point.

[moolarkey]

This was our lightest year ever. I bought enough candy to give each kid 2 pieces and planned for up to 300 kids. TOT was 6-8 last night. At 6:20 I finally had my first kid. at 7:15 we had our last kid. We had a grand total of 61. It was a nice fall evening too. Glad it wasn't tonight, we have a cold rain, suburbs East of us had sleet.

A friend in Cincinnati just posted that in his 5 year-old's candy bag were 2 packets of Arby's sauce.  ok then.

[pantaloons55]

We were busier than ever this year as well. Sent H out for more candy at like 7!!! Fun though

[cheeseandcrackers]

We got 5 so far. Looks like we will have a ton of candy left over..
One year in a busy neighborhood I ran out of candy and started to give out Jello LOL

This is hilarious.

[hisno1girl]

Our weather is horrible tonight, we only had five or six people all night. I gave each kid two gigantic handfuls and we still have a ton of candy leftover.

Luckily it's candy I don't like so DH will eat it all.

[cookies]

We didn't get nearly as many kids this year. I guess all the older kids who trick or treated last year grew up. oh well. Candy for weeks!

[karmasabiotch]

J got a packet of cocoa with a penny taped to it.

[jenna]

We have had about 16 kids. It's 7:30, and about 40 degrees out.

[auberge]

Bought 8 bags last year and ran out. Spent $60/ 12 bags this year. After that, lights out lol

[awick14]

It's only 5:50 here but we have had no one. I'm guessing that means we won't have anyone this year.

We got 10 the first year we lived here. 6 last year. I wish I lived in an area where we would at least get 20-30 kids.

[agnes]

I only got one bag from Costco. There aren't as many TOT's tonight. I think it's because of the big high school football rivalry game tonight. It's not usually on Halloween.

Ew. Year old candy from a freezer? Gross

Okay, someone just posted on FB that her niece got a bag of powdered government milk in her candy bag :/

It was frozen. I vote not gross.

[blackcat]

We have a shit-ton of candy leftover. I expected a larger than usual crowd (and the usual crowd is pretty big) since Halloween fell on Friday this year, but it wasn't that impressive. Erg.

[stephm0188]

We had 410 kids last night. Insane. We spend a ton on candy every year.

[Eagles]

W.T.Faulkner I was at my sister's house, two neighborhoods over, and she had SO MUCH candy left.  I'm not sure if it's because the trash trucks were still out collecting (at 6:30-7 pm, WTF) or the weather or what, but she expected a lot more.  She bought two giant bags.  I took a goody bag home for me and H.    

[kayakjenn]

Not a single kid , hence my breakfast of snickers and milkyways.

No, it's still gross. The texture was probably all off. Candy is not so expensive that it needs to be frozen and saved for next year... My coworkers were happy to take the leftovers
