Elinor Everywhere Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 :lol: I gave each of my kids a Mounds bar today when they informed me they'd never had one. My kids are apparently seriously deprived, but no longer. At least when it comes to Mounds bars, one of my faves from way back when. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshin Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I just picked up the candy today, and I made the horrible mistake of purchasing my favorite Reese's. Fortunately, I am going to dump it into the candy bowl tonight after the kids go to bed. You know, in preparation for tomorrow night since we'll be gone for most of the day, I may not have time otherwise. It's not my fault if I notice a package that isn't sealed all the way, right? The responsible thing is to eat it and not give it to some more trick or treater! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I haven't even bought any! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yes, I have! We get few to no trick or treaters, so I'm not worried about running out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Me! I think the bite-sized candy bars shrunk! They used to be 3 bites, and now they're 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamom Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks everyone :tongue_smilie: It is your fault that I'm now going to get up and go get some of the unopened Halloween candy. It hadn't occurred to me before reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Me. :lol: I think I may have to run to the store tomorrow so I have enough to give out. Oops. This is how it goes at our house. In fact, my six year old thinks we go to the church's trunk or treat to "practice" and get candy to hand out on Halloween. :lol: (We usually run out of the candy we bought and start supplementing with trunk or treat candy.)

PhotoGal Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Um... Like two weeks ago! Dh made the mistake of buying it early. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassoonaroo Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Guilty as charged.... A few years back, I dug into the stash a week or so early and ... pulled off a crown from my back tooth. I called the dentist and he could work me in, so I drove there and he calmly said to me, "Now, you know, usually we dentists are busy the week after Halloween when the adults all raid their children's candies and pull off crowns. But, you're a first; I've never had to fix a crown due to candy BEFORE Halloween." At least he smiled when he said that. So, now when I raid the candy before Halloween, I try to avoid the sticky stuff that might take a crown off. And if I did pull a crown off any time in the fall, I'd probably see if a different, anonymous, dentist could fix it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have to go buy candy tomorrow because we ate all of it already! I blame it on the in-laws.....they were here and I couldn't be mean and say no in front of them! Plus I *needed* the chocolate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We only ate one of four bags of candy so far. This might be a record for us! What are all of you giving out? We have Snickers, M&Ms and Twix. I might get some Pop Rocks, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm guilty of eating one snack pack of sour gummy worms this morning. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This is why I buy stuff that I do not like or will not eat. :tongue_smilie: I bought the huge bag of Dum Dum pops because it was the most economical way to buy a large amount. We have HUNDREDS of trick or treaters. :glare: I can't afford to get them fancy candy. :lol: I'll happily steal a few things from my kids tomorrow night. Apparently we have some rich neighbors-last year the kids got 3 or 4 FULL SIZE candy bars. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amey311 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I, too, bought stuff I don't like. Costco had bins of "cheesy poofs" in individual packs, so I bought those. Plus, if we have any left over, I won't mind the kids having a pack of those for snack or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujsky Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It's not my fault DH bought a mixed bag that had gobbstoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm being strong this year! We've lived in this house for 8 years, and we've not gotten a single trick-or-treater (we're in the back of the boonies). Until this year, I've still bought a bag of candy, "just in case." And we all know what happened to that once nobody showed up at our door. So this year, I'm not buying any. And what do you want to bet we'll get some adorable kid in a princess costume and I'll have to resort to putting a can of tuna in her bag.

Belacqua Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Uh huh. Here I am, bragging upthread about how I haven't bought any candy.

amyrobynne Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This is the 1st year ever I haven't eaten any early. I've gained almost 5 lbs this month and I don't want to make it worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCrazyMama Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm feeling deprived, we don't get trick-or-treaters.

Kathleen in LV Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has this problem. I usually try to wait until the last minute to buy it so I can't do too much damage. But this year I found an amazing deal on candy about 2 weeks ago. And then I immediately gave it all to my mom to keep at her house until tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be able to do too much damage before the trick-or-treaters arrive.

Susan C. Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) We are purposely eating it, grown kids, I have been buying candy on sale for past few weeks and picking out what we like (cookies and cream is gone from the Hershey's pack, and fastbreak is gone from the Reese's pack...), and we will pass out the rest.... which is Butterfinger, Twix, Reece's, Snicker's, Babe Ruth, Neslie's Crunch, Hershey's chocolate. We get a lot of trick or treaters and it is so fun seeing all those cute kids. Edited October 31, 2012 by Susan C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 But you know... hurricane... (sort of) I think severe weather calls for Halloween candy. Nevermind that our power outage started right around bedtime and ended just before it was time to get up, thus minimizing the inconvenience... and we're on the far west end of the affected area, so potential for danger was really minimal.... But individually wrapped Reese's peanut butter cups were just what one needs to make it through that kind of, uh, trauma. And once the bag was opened, it just made sense to finish it off after lunch. It's okay though - we only ate one bag among the three of us... and I went to the store this afternoon and got four more to replace it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I am awesome and have NOT raided the Halloween stash. (Only because a) we live in the country and no one comes by and b) they haven't gone trick-or-treating yet). I do institute a candy tax for driving/walking those people around. I accept tootsie rolls and Butterfinger bars as payment;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I need to update my original post. Now that the kids are asleep, I have been stealing their candy without shame.

MBM Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The candy is going away TODAY. I must rid my house of that evil stuff or else I will Sophia Vergara my jeans, which would scare the bejeebers out of any unfortunate witnesses. Ugh. I am soooo fat today. We only had 4 trick-or-treaters. :( Next year they'll be getting potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
