Soon children will be knocking on your door and looking for a handout. Of course they will be hoping to get a sweat treat this Halloween. You know some chocolate or sweet tarts or candy corn make all fine treat choices. Candy is dandy indeed but there are some alternatives that even the biggest sweet tooth wouldn’t mind receiving.
A quick look through the Halloween aisle that was probably stocked sometime at the end of August has some choices for treats. Pencils, cups, straws, even vampire teeth can be bought in bulk to give out this Halloween. The prices aren’t that bad especially if you shop at a super center.
Take a quick trip through toys to find some other ideas for Halloween goodies. There is a section at our Wal-Mart that has toys for 88 cents and up. I found a bag of 25 dinosaurs for $2. I added some bangle bracelets for 88 cents to give some choices for the kids. All together, I spent less than two bags of candy and got some neat Halloween treats. I already had some pencils that I had picked up last year after Halloween and tucked away for this year. After Halloween is a great time to pick up decorations since they will be really cheap.
I would rather buy cheap trinkets to pass out than candy because we don’t get that many trick or treaters, so I’d rather have stuff than candy as I’m less tempted to eat toys than chocolate.
