I had the flu the last year my friends and I were going to go trick or treating. We had a plan for how to hit the highest density neighborhoods and spend the least time walking without ringing a doorbell. We had also learned years earlier to avoid the more affluent areas. The distance between houses was much greater and people often weren't even home. If they were home, they were typically cheap.

I still regret missing that last year. I've been saying for years that I should find some diabetic kid that I can pay to trick or treat for me. Give him like 5 or 10 bucks a pound of something. That way, he still gets to go out and have fun with his friends, he makes a little cash, and I get to enjoy the wide variety of candy that you just can't get if you go buy it yourself.
