13. We were usually one of those.

My mother hated to be seen as 'cheap' on Halloween, even as we were not even middle class. But, she would buy a few bags of things here and there to have a decent enough stock ready for the 31st. My brother and I were a bit bothered by the fact that we never got to get any of our own stash of candy because that was for 'trick or treat!'. And, it was usually some of the best treats.

(Mother and I both loved the venom outta some Tootsie Rolls and so she always got them and I could never get any. She never opened them before the 31st, so there was no way to grab one. She would know.)
