Spin off - how much candy do you give out?

[pomtzu]

None - never have in the almost 40 years since I've lived here.

I live on a country road, and the houses are quite a good distance apart. There doesn't seem to be many kids around anymore, and even the one's that live in the vicinity, don't go out. I think the parents settle more for parties now since it keeps the kids in and out of any trouble or harm.

We have so many kids that I can never plan on how much candy to buy. I spent $60 year before last, $80 last year and I still ran out of candy an hour before trick or treating ended and had to turn out the lights. I go to Dollar General to buy it so it isn't as though I pay top dollar. Kids always prefer Twix so I buy all that I can get my hands on. If I can get it cheap enough, I give them a regular size candy bar. If not, they get a few mini bars. Part of the problem, I'm sure, is that kids from other neighborhoods come in, which isn't allowed, but it happens.
