Thanks sassy -i may have gotten it from little miss cara as my daughter-in-law said today she has a bit of a cold -she is always clinging to me .
Wow -only 35 kids for halloween ,we live in an older neighbourhood not many little ones ,next year less candy i will buy for sure.
We had only 20 kids this year. When my kids were young we would get up to 75. I only planned for 30 so not a lot of leftovers it’s also stuff I don’t like so no temptation.
I am not sad to see the end of October. It was a very expensive month. But with Christmas coming I am not sure we will have much of a reprieve.
We only got about 30 kids. We are used to having over a hundred kids. Lots of chocolate and chips left over here . I was disappointed since there was no little goblins
@flemeth The year that happened to us I had hand made up over 100 bags, stuffed them full too! I said never again. Of course the teenagers ( no costumes ) didn't forget to come around in the 9-9:30 range. At that point I didn't care and happily gave away a couple to each.Quote:

So glad I didn't grab more chips yesterday! I have tons of bubble wands left for the little kids that I will put away for next year. I had a bunch of pop for back up if needed but didn't get many older kids so will see if my friends husband would like it since we don't drink it. The bowl of suckers I will donate to somewhere in town- will see the posts on FB.
I decided to make pasta with meat sauce for dinner last night while shelling out. It was so good! Or we were really hungry :)
I'm going to pick up ground beef today so I can cook it up with onions for the freezer for quick pasta down the road.
Yesterday I made shrimp/rice and green beans and made 4 containers. Had one for lunch yesterday and brought one to work today. Cost was approx $1.50 each (everything purchased on sale of course!)- Pretty good if you ask me!
Checked out the upcoming sale flyers. Lettuce and coleslaw at GT. Lettuce for DS's work sandwiches. Coleslaw will work for stir-fry with chicken bowls I will make next for food prep.
Have a great day!
