Gather round y'all for a real scary Halloween story that just happened to me tonight!

Now it is rather well known that the OldGuy is rather cheap. However I make it a point not to be cheap when I am giving out Halloween treats.

First I start by buying quality candies to give away. For example I buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, Milky Ways, Kit Kats, and Hershey chocolate bars. I also Splurge for glow sticks to make bracelets and necklaces with.

Then I double bag these into about approximately 2 lb bags. Based on the turnout from last year I figured I would need 24 bags.

Of course the weather was very nice today being that a t-shirt and shorts was the perfect attire to pass out the candy. I am quite certain the weather was a major factor in the number of trick or treaters. In a word we were swamped! Needless to say the 24 bags were gone in a flash, which left us scrambling for goodies to give out. Ben and I ran through our personal stash that we were holding back for our personal enjoyment. Next I went through all of the single dollars that I had in my wallet. In the end I had to resort to giving handfuls of change from a big jar I had been collecting over the years lol. Funny enough the kids seem to like the coins. Perhaps the uncertainty of the amount they were receiving added to the thrill.
