I still live in one of the few places where halloween trick or treating is a BIG deal. A typical night is 500+ kids. They come from surrounding areas and even bussed in. I literally spend a small fortune every year. I give out pretzels (Costco and Sam's Club sell a tub of 70 packets for $7 or $8), and chocolate. Looking at the faces of the little kids when I give them 3 pieces each is absolutely priceless. Some of these kids come from horrible neighborhoods and whoever is in charge, does a great job of dressing them up and lessons on being polite. I grew up in an era when trick or treating was safe. So happy and willing to sacrafice elsewhere to make some of these kids happy and give them a good memory.
