A lot. The weather was rainy off and on. I left the bowl out front with a 'please take 2' sign. I should have said "Please take 4"...Half the bowl was still there when we got home from the neighbors 4 hours later There weren't many trick or treaters out this year.

We had beaucoup candy left over. Last year, we ran out because we had a bunch of kids and I didn't have enough, so this year, I bought enough for all the kids we had last year. This year, we had five kids.
That's why I buy candy I like, so it won't go to waste if we have leftovers. I'll also bring some to work with me and put a basket out on my desk for people to help themselves.

The last kid that came to the door got a huge handful of chocolate bars, just so i could get rid of them faster. She was like " WOW, thanks Lady!". LOL.

I spent $104 on candy and we do not have a single piece left. We ran out of candy at 8:40. We had more trick or treaters than ever this year.

We had a ton of leftover candy compared to usual. I bought $20 worth and we easily had half of it left - last year we ran out too early so I bought more.

We only had about FIVE trick or treaters (we usually have five times that number at least), aside from a group of about 10 teens that came by that I also handed out to - but not all of them wanted candy, some were just there to walk around with their friends.

It kind of made me sad, I love seeing all of the kids in their costumes and being the best house to hit for candy on the street. Hopefully we have more next year.

I bought 3 boxes of fruit roll ups and a bag of tootsie roll pops.

We only had 3 trick-or-treaters.

So I am eating a tootsie roll pop as I type

We had maybe 20 kids come by. We only went through one bag of candy and I bought three.

We have a good 4 handfuls left.

We took our littles out from 5:30-6:30pm. Came home and flipped our light on and turned off our light at 9:30pm and there were still kids out. But I was focusing on getting my littles down to bed and didn't need anymore knocking.

My dh usually spends $40+ on candy. This year I said 1 BIG bag of old fashion candy. It was like $6! I was like there is NO NEED to spend that much on candy!
