I don't know how that happened. Can't accuse my wife because she bought them. Now I see the Kit Kats are really low (she likes them). So I just hit up the bag with M&Ms. OK, I shared them with a grandson as he was leaving. Then maybe I got another kid size bag, just to test them for freshness or whatever.

I can only conclude we're going to need more by Saturday night. But if we get them too soon, they might vanish. Even wives are not to be trusted.

I get no kids out here in the boonies, but still I buy some bags of candy...just in case. You never know.

Well, the Smarties and the Almond Joys are gone.

I will eat candy one bite less than being ill.
Then drink hot mint tea and eat more.

We haven't had any Trick or Treaters since we move here in 2000 but I still buy the candy. It's usually gone within a week but I have no idea where it went to.

We've managed to maintain a stealth cone of invisibility over the last 40+ years & never had to participate in the festival....ok, maybe gravel roads & no sidewalks helped set the 'unwelcomed' scene during most of that era.......

My wife has told me the candy bought is for the trick or treaters. I told her that I do not think it is enough. In the last 4 years we really did not have to worry much about it. But this year we happen to be in an RV/mobile home park so I think we do. I don’t think 40 mini candy bars will suffice the number of zombies out and about. I think Reese’s purchase should be considered for backup or SHTF situations.

Mrs DF goes through the candy bowl and takes out all the good candy. "They won't know the difference"..... LOL

I know, right. We've already started on the second bag we purchased for the kiddos. Smile

Sharp Shoppers had the Snickers 8-pack marked down to 50 cents several weeks ago. Nothing like stocking up.

The best time to buy candy to after a holiday and WalMart puts items on sale at half price or less.

You've gotta stock up on stuff you won't be tempted by.

There must be some kind of manufacturing defect at Reese's... we might have a class action suit here, fellas.

We haven't had Trick or Treaters around here for years. They've all grown up, moved away & have their own kids. My wife & I still buy a large variety of candy, just in case, & it all disappears.
