Having moved from an older, hillier, darker neighborhood where not many people trick-or-treated to a younger, flatter, sidewalk-ier, better lit neighborhood with lots of kids has us concerned about Halloween preparedness. We have no idea how much candy to buy.
On one hand, we hate to be the new guys who are unprepared and have to turn of the lights early. On the other, though, I don’t want to end up with 30 pounds of leftover candy in the house because I lack the willpower to let it sit there uneaten. If we end up overstocked with candy, our last trick-or-treater may end up with a whole bunch of candy dumped in his or her bag.
