9. When I took my children trick or treating there were 3 houses that stood out for Halloween

One house gave out king sized candy bars. Usually it was Snickers or a Hershey bar.


Another house gave out soda in a can.


Then there was a house that gave out homemade cookies with their address printed on the sandwich bags that the cookies were packaged in.


Normally we purchase fun sized M&M's, Twix and Kit Kats and let the trick or treaters choose 2 to 3 treats out of the bowl. Last year, we did something different and purchased Rice Krispies in individual wrapped snack sizes.

I have a neighbor across the street that's been handing out king sized candy bars for years and another neighbor kitty corner that hands out individual bags of snack chips such as Corn Chips, Cheeto's, Dorito's and regular Lays potato chips.


We hardly get any trick or treaters because we don't have many families with young children on our street. The competition is about a block away from us with a newer and more expensive housing addition that gets 200 plus trick or treaters.
