Greedy Bast**** I never bought Halloween candy until near Halloween and pre-op always bought my favs and ate what was not given up (strange how that happens to have so much left over). Can we say Pay Day and Peanut Butter cups! Post-op, it's given away.

Besides just think of all the chemicals in that candy? Fresh does to come to mind LOL

I would put off buying it until Oct 30 or 31 because I knew I couldn't be trusted.

Last few years, I haven't even bothered buying candy, I turn my porch light off.

Me too! Made me feel like such a grinch, but I knew what would happen if I had that candy in my house - it would disappear within a day.

But the children! What of the children?

a fried egg and a can of beer

LOL. Like they'll miss the candy from my place looking at some of their hauls!! Those kids need saved from the dyeabeeetus, man...

I used to go buy stuff I didn't like after work on October 31 just to not eat it. And I'd still eat a good portion of it! Now I'm just a Halloween Scrooge and turn my lights out so that stuff doesn't cross my threshold.

Me too! And one unfortunate kid got a honeycrisp apple cuz he knocked. He was so disappointed and I wanted to take my expensive apple back!!!

On the first week of Xmas, my true love gave to meeeeeeeeeee...

Maybe it is the old candy from last year. ...that would make it 9 months old.
