Halloween: What are you giving Trick or Treaters?

Have you gone the whole hog and done a full-on trip to Costco/Aldi/Lidl/Tesco to stock up on bucket loads of sweets for the [STRIKE]little monsters[/STRIKE] kids.
Or will you be switching the lights off and sitting behind the sofa in the dark pretending to be out?
If you are joining in with the Halloween spirit(s) this year, what have you bought for the witches/wizards/ghosts/unicorns/spidermen/slendermen/Skull Rangers knocking on the door this week?
Perhaps you've made treats this year instead of buying?
Or are you giving them last year's leftovers passed their best before date?
(See why that's not as scary as it sounds!!)

My baking skills would never get me anywhere near Bake Off so I've never made my own Halloween treats. :eek::eek:
One of my local cheapie shops is selling halloween sweets. It's a great way to support local businesses :jCould you do with a Money Makeover?

I'll be truly money saving and give out nothing. Will just have a quiet evening in ignoring any knocks at the door.Zebras rock0

I just ignore the bell if it rings. I've never understood the point of "Trick or treating".0

Nothing to American trick or treaters - Traditional Guizers however, that's a different matter. They have to actually do something to entertain.
And if anyone waves their pumpkin at me, it will meet a neep - and lose..!0 -
I just had to look "guizers" up! There's not much explanation for it but I get the idea!Could you do with a Money Makeover?

I've got a box of sweets and will be taking my 8 yr old trick or treating. No tricks though because everyone gives treats.0

A trick , thankfully has only caught on recently here . last year I hid in the porch and jumped out with a scream mask on
, clearly they misunderstood "Trick or treat ".

I'm another one who will be sitting at the back of the house with the lights out at the front, ignoring the door.

Probably the only time I will answer when knocked, I have bags of haribo sweets.0
