We are that house and after years of scrutiny I have determined most kids don't like chocolate. The first couple years we handed out full sized bars practically no one took Snickers. And the bigger the packaging the more interest kids have so I go in for like sour punch straws and airhead belts. I try to keep cost around $1 a piece. Our busiest year we got maybe 120 kids so I generally buy about 150 to be safe although this year being a Friday I upped it to 180. We also make about 150 jello shots to hand out to parents and hand out capris suns and bottles of water.

How many trick or treaters do you get usually?
We counted over 200 kids last year... I wish I could afford to be "that" house.

I’m so convinced so many of us are out here just trying to give kids the childhood we didn’t have.
Love this for you OP! As a former “poor child” this adult shit is exciting now that I can afford to do things for the kids in my community.
