Thanks for all the advice.

Didn't even think to count, but not much left from 3 boxes of 90 something little bars.
The faces lighting up on some of the little ones when they saw chocolate was great.

I just remember being a kid, and how awesome it was to get a full sized bar. For an extra few bucks it's totally worth it.
My four year got 11 full size bars, and 20 bags of chips this year. I could eat for a year off the stash she got in a couple hours. I don't remember getting nearly this much. I think there is some competitive pressure going on with the neighbors the last couple of years.

We're in Douglasdale as well, but we had 76. The last few years we've been in the mid 90s. I'm surprised by the variation between your place and mine.

85 hit our place in Langdon tonight. Pretty normal number, though we didnt get as many late stragglers which I attribute to the cool temps.

Seriously? Crunchie is by far my favourite, and I didn't get to have any this year because we got our candy from our parents who went out of town after buying it. I'm going to have to find me some Crunchies...

This is the first time I have spent Halloween in Phoenix. I'm used to having around 40 to 50 trick or treaters coming to the door at our place in Strathmore. We thought we'd play it safe and we got 100 bags of chips. Anyway, I couldn't believe how many kids we had here. When we were down to the last 20 bags, my wife quickly went to the nearby Supermarket and picked up another 40 bags. We ended up with just a handful of bags left at the end of the night - so we gave out something like 135 bags of chips. Anyway, next year, I think we will spend Halloween in Strathmore.

I always go on a rocket buying binge Nov 1 when they are half price. I am thinking this year, I am going to attempt melting them in a spoon, and mainlining them.

So. Damn. Addictive.

I got zero, nada, zilch. Now I have to figure out what to do with these chocolate bars. My waistline doesn't need them.

It's crazy because we live on a side street and I can see the main road through the community from my window. Tons of kids on the main road, only like 22 at our place. Anyone else literally see tons of kids pass their street by?

Had 34 in St. Albert. Now I have way too much candy left over. Awesome!

...and for the 4th consecutive year, my Flames jack-o-lantern is still standing this morning. Why am I always slightly disappointed when I see that?
