how much candy( bags) do you buy for trick or treating? How many kids come to your house?

We have sooooo many kids at our door- it's nonstop for 2 solid hours! We buy sooo much candy! We always run out- tonight will be different because my DD is old enough to go around longer, so no one will be home for awhile. I did not buy as much this year. we'll see how it goes!!

2005- Bought much candy, kids = 0

2006- Bought very little candy, kids = 4 in one group

2007- Bought a few large size candy bars in the hope that any kids who do come this year will be encouraged to return by our generosity

I bought 3 bags. I will be out with the kids TOT'ing and dh is out of town so no one will be home. These bags are for the kids that show up early/late.

Actually I'm down to 2 1/2 bags. Those butterfingers are so good! Thank goodness today is Halloween.

 

[ADisneygirl]

Normally I buy 4 or 5 big bags and run out of it. This year I won't be answering the door because I've been home sick with bronchitis all week. I guess I'll just peak out my windows and see the little cuties going by.

I only bought 1 mixed bag as I'm not expecting that many kids. But it should be enough.

The last 4 years we weren't home and went out. Last year was different - tOt at both SeaWorld and MNSSHP ! This year will be DS5's first time going door-to-door (with Daddy) while I stay home and hand out the candy.

I buy 10 good sized bags and I end up with a little left over.

 

[lindakmonty]

well, I bought 10 bags, but my dh and ds6 ate a few bags of it so there was probably 5 or 6 bags left but we still had over 1/2 left when trick or treat was over. dh passes candy out while ds6 and I go around the neighborhood.

Last year I bought the giant bag from Costco and had five kids show up!

This year, nothing! We went to MNSSHP last week and have a ton left over!!

 

[mamamary]

We bought about 8 bags. We should have a little left over. We take the kids out trick or treating and leave the candy on the porch. I have a sign to "please take two pieces". Hopefully no one will empty all of it into their bag.

We bought 7 Costco sized bags. We usually have 200+ kids that come to our door. I love ALL of them, except the annoying teenagers that come to my door with no costume on and expect candy.

I think I bought about 15-17 bags of good chocolate candy and I'm sure we will run out!! (I live on a military base and we have a million kids) I never never never run out!!

 

[AmberI]

I bought 10 bag and my dh thinks we need more. I say when it runs out it runs out!

 

[wendy46001]

we buy 10 large bags for the kids
and 2 bags for DH (he’ll hide the good candy if I don’t get him his own mix)

never counted the kids but it’s a steady flow starts around 6 ends around 9:30

 

[mommasita]

I bought a ton of it. We have been dipping in mind you

We have a minimum of 200 kids, but the time ONLY teenagers come by, I close the door.

Today is a PERFECT day, so I think I will buy more on my way home. We will have a marvelous night..

In the previous years I bought about 10 bags. Last year we didn't get as many trick or treaters so this year I bought three large bags. I'm really hoping there will be no leftovers.

 

[minnieandme]

I bought one bag of mixed candy. There's not a lot of kids in my subdivision. I think my door rang 3 times last year. This year, I'll have my DS13 take DS9around the neighborhood so I can pass out candy for the early kids. Then I'll take them to the subdivision next to ours for an hour. That's where all the kids will be.

 

[love2disney]

About 10 Jumbo bags and we will run out... then DS 4 comes back home and I sort out the gum, peanut butter stuff and others and they go back to candy bins!!

 

[love2disney]

Last year my DS got 4 good size grocery bag full on candy!!! We have a huge development!
