I've only bought two bags--Twix and Reese's. I've got a ways to go!

I'll be purchasing mine a week from today when I get paid. I may even buy a few bags today if my bank account is up to the task.

We're in the same boat, Mike, waiting for payday on the 20th! That candy is expensive!

If we buy all our candy now it would be all gone by Halloween, so I only buy one bag per week then 2 or 3 or three bags on Halloween, so the trick or treater get some too!!

You're not kidding about the candy being expensive. Last year I was stupid and bought it all at once--$50! This year, I'm pacing myself and hitting up sales. Target had a lot of their really good candy on sale 2 for $5 earlier this week.

I have bought two bags of assorted cany bars, but they are both gone now

We've bought about 5 or 6 bags of assorted candies containing lollys, chews etc. We're gunna buy some assorted chocolate ones too. We'll probably get them within the next week or so.

Expensive is the word for it allright. They really jacked up the price in my neck of the woods, too. I may end up giving out tootsie rolls this year instead of the 'good stuff,' because it's 4.00 a bag.

Well...I had enough for the TOTers BUT everyone knows that I have it and needless to say, it's disappearing very quickly. The baseball playoffs are going on and everyone is like, 'hey, I ate one of your Halloween Snickers the other day and the Rangers won. I should probably have another one because I think it must be good luck. Don't want to jinx them'.

I think I need to just go ahead and dump what I have in my Halloween bowls. It'll be easier that way to see how much I need to replenish after the candy-hogs robbed me

Excellent idea.
Candy displacement?
