We don't get nearly the amount of kids here in Delaware as we did in Philly. It seems that many families here just don't believe in celebrating Halloween. I give out juice boxes instead of candy and they are always a big hit. For the kids that do come around, many say that they time our house so that they are thirsty when they get here.
We always get about 100 kids. Last year I bought a bag of the cheaper mix type candy and also gave out boxes of Cracker Jack with it. Amazon had a good deal. I think I bought 100 boxes for under $30.
I will be looking for bags of cheap candy so I can use what I don't give out for our Gingerbread Houses decorations at Christmas. I don't mind the little kids in costume coming around but the teens with pillowcases really tick me off.
We do a "trunk or treat" at our church. I am thinking licorice. I am not fond of it...so...the kids will get plenty.
