Halloween 2015 Pre-game Thread

It seems every year in the Halloween GDT there are a lot of tips and suggestions; however many of them come too late for that year. This thread is meant for questions, tips, and advice.

I'll start with my question. In the past I had often given out full sized chocolate bars. I had done this by finding places that sold the bars for around 50¢ each; and given the low kid turnout I didn't have to break the bank. Last year I couldn't find any at that price; in the past Superstore had 16 packs for just over $8 each. This year they are $13. Anybody have any suggestions?

My best tip is to live in an apartment building. I'm a curmudgeon.

Honestly though, I liked giving out candy when I lived in a normal house

When I was a kid, a drink was always a nice change of pace.

I think drinks might be a bad idea. A can of pop is pretty heavy; especially if they get more than one. Plus the Halloween bags get dragged and bumped around; I'd hate to see a pop explode soaking a kid's haul.

Thought I saw 6 packs of full sized kitkats for $2 at Walmart a few weeks ago but may be wrong.

as a kid I remember getting a can of pop from a guy on Halloween - in my mind he was a hero! my parents rarely gave us pop so it was a HUGE treat

for full sized chocolate bars have you checked Costco?

Screw pop, start giving out beer to the parents.

What do you mean "start?"

Depending on the weather, it can sometimes be beer; sometimes it's hot chocolate that has been spiked.
