We get about $5 of candy, usually from the Dollar Tree, just in case we get anyone coming by…which has still yet to happen in the 4+ years we’ve owned our house. There are kids in the community, but with it being semi-rural and very hilly, with no sidewalks, most parents seem to take their kids into Radford for the trick-or-treat trail.

We usually get 150 or so kids on our street and spend about $45 – $50 at least. We try to make sure they want to keep coming back to our street every year.

Our block usually gets at least 150 kids so we usually spend $20-$25. Well worth it for the entertainment.

Wow, I bet Alice’s house is just one of the FAVORITE places for kids to Trick Or Treat…

Come on, Alice. There’s a time to preach, and a time to minister. Halloween is a time to minister. As in C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E.

Let them breath one day a year before you smother them with lecturing ‘goodness’. You MIGHT just realize you get more ears listening than with the Carrie Nation mindset…

I spend about $10-$15 dollars on Halloween candy. Bring what we don’t give out to work for the hungry co-workers.

My husband & I have never lived in an area for many trick-or-treaters so I go back to my old neighborhood & help my parents give out candy. Last year, we gave out over 300 pieces & had to cut the light out with kids still coming. And that was giving 1 piece per child. Busiest Halloween we’ve seen in a long time!

I typically spend around $10 in any given year but, sadly, my area hasn’t had roaming trick-or-treaters in several years. On the off-chance that we do get children, I buy the snack size and just let them dig in for a handful.

We don’t give out candy because it is unhealthy and we don’t believe in it. We do give out pistachios in the shell and colourful pencils.

I usually spend about $10 on Halloween candy. I try to buy what my kids like in the snack size. I generally give 2 pieces per kid or donate it to what ever function we are attending (usually at church).
