How many of you.....
have eaten the entire boxes of mini bars and mini potato chips that you wisely purchased EARLY so you wouldn't have to go to a grocery store at the last minute to buy candy for Halloween trick or treaters? Just curious.

hahahah.
I don't purchase candy any more than I have to. If it's not available, I don't eat it. If it is available, then there's a very good chance that I'll eat it. We haven't purchased anything. We won't be home, but I'm fairly certain we also wouldn't get any trick or treaters. We're too rural. potato chips? I don't think I remember ever getting chips for halloween. That's a new one. Candy, change, and in the old days, apples (which my parents always threw out).

Never get trick or treaters where I live.
So..no need to purchase candy.

I'm waiting. My wife is out of town, so the risk of overconsumption is extremely high.

Those little packages of Smarties taste way better than the regular size.
I call them Smarties shooters. I don't buy them until the last minute so I don't eat the darn things.

Boxes? That stuff comes in big bags.
Don't go for candy much. Pie is an entirely different story.

I do... have... rather a supply of them
 I call it mental health food. We don't really have Halloween here but I buy them just in case. Last edited by Bill Douglas; 10-26-2021 at 05:44 PM.. |

My wife fills the candy jar with the mini bars/M&Ms...it takes us a month or two to work through it. We don't get trick-or-treaters out here in corn country, but used to get 100s when we lived in a small rural village.

I rarely eat candy, except for an occasional snickers bar.
That said, on occasion, I have eaten an entire gallon of my favorite ice cream while watching TV. 🤪 |
