    I usually for some weeks before hold in to crisps I dont like much like smokey bacon the kind out of a assorted 12-24 packs and give some of them. You can always give biscuits too, like kit kats or anything with wrappers

    It doesn't bother me kids coming although come xmas I wont give to Carole singers and this year wilkl be even worse as I am cutting back on expenses especially xmas this year because I dont know whats around the corner
  • The advantage of the commercial exploitation that masquerades on All Saints Eve, the little delicacies that are hyped up for the wicked event are more than half price for my birthday treats!

    And the girls at work love ‘em. Roll on bonny night, I used tio think everyone loved my birthday, but it certainly used to upset mys big sis when I was little!

    We've just had some trick or treaters round, only the 2nd lot so didn't mind answering the door. 4 kids stood at the door said 'Trick Or Treat' so I gave them a small bag of Haribo sweets each. One cheeky little bleeder turns round and asks if there was anything else because he's lactose intolerant and can't eat them.

    The cheek of it :D:D

    If you think that's cheeky.............a couple of years ago we had a girl turn up a week early because she was going on holiday on halloween. :shocked:

    We used to carve turnips and go guising in homemade outfits as did my parents and their parents before them but I think that this was a scottish thing? we never did the trick or treat thing and i'm only 24! We'd be expected to tell a joke/sing a song/do a dance and we'd come home with bags full of apples (the best ones were candy apples from the lady upstairs - she made her own!), tangerines and monkey nuts. We'd have the occasional treat sized mars bar or kit kat in there but we never had ghost shaped marshmallows or special hallowe'en candies.

    I live in a cul-de-sac near a retirement complex now so we didn't get any kids except our nieces.

    Lactose intolerant and Haribo sweets?

    Is there milk in them then?
    .....

  • i only give to kids whose parents can be bothered to escort them due to the area i live been a bit rough and only give them sweets because the smackheads round here would only take money off them and send them round again.
