I’ve already had 15 kids come through
>>22269434I went overboard this yearBut my neighbors are try hards on the decorations, so i always get hella candy to compensateAlready heard I’m the best house from a bunch of 10yr olds

I don't get nearly as many trick or treaters as I used to. I feel like last year there was a 50% decrease in trick or treaters and this year feels the same. I had so much leftover candy from last year, even though it was the same amount I always buyWhy is this happening?
Im keeping a tally so far there’s been 20 Trick or treaters but oddly enough zero for the past half hour
>>22269486I would say prior to 2024 my average was probably 150-170 in total with 2018 probably being the biggest year. But post 2025 its more like 60-80.
>>22269434>15 kidscan't you pedos just ruin 1 kids life?
>>22269489any reason you didn't stay your subversive faggot ass on reddit?
Ive got i think 11 so far. Last few years we had about 30. Hopefully we get a lot more. Seems slow this year.
>>22269504Do you have trunk or treat in your area? I suspect this is one of the many reasons why Trick Or Treating seems to be dying off.
>>22269481My guess, the kids in your neighborhood aged up. I’ve been in my same house for 20yrs, we had like a 3-5yr stretch of very little traffic. The last 4yrs have been crazy though, it’s been fun
>>22269517Trunk n treats are so lame, i think they’re part of the problem too
>>22269517I have no idea.
>>22269434I've gotten 0 so far. Last year I had a couple drop by by now.
>>22269519Honestly I don't really care. If I had kids I'd probably take them to trunk or treat. Im sure they'd have the same find memories that we had as kids trick or treating. But with trunk or treat instead. I really don't think it's a huge deal, unless you don't have a car. But it is still sad to see trick or treating dying off.
>>22269434Perv
>>22269532I can’t imagine a trunk n treat lasting the 3 hours of neighborhood walking.And, it was always more fun to be independent with your friends!>>22269549>>22269489> interacting with your community is pervySad life you must have
Yeah for me anyway my fondest memories of Halloween was roaming around with my buddies once we were old enough to be allowed out on our own - even way back when they used to have “mall trick or treating” for the paranoid people and youd just go around from shop to shop
>>22269572> mall trick or treatThat does sound more fun than parking lot
I put out some Sour Patch Kids but I don't really expect anyone. It's also been raining on and off.I feel like all of the kids trunk or treat, or just go to the super rich neighborhoods like my parents' where they hand out full sized candy bars.
>>22269434My wife went to work with the keys to the other car. The kids and I watched ghostbusters and Im feeding them random sweets Im finding in the back of the cabinets. Everyones less upset than I feared.
I never have anybody trick or treat at my place :(Here is my candy tier list anyways that is garbage
>>22269580That’s real cute, I’m glad you made the most of it :3
>>22269434>>22269439That's a mighty fine selection. There's something for everyone. The sticky slappers and fangs are a really nice touch. I loved the slappers as a kid.
>>22269532walking to 15 cars in a parking lot is not the same as walking around a neighborhood at night with all the halloween decorations up and it never will be.
>>22269582> Hersheys cookies and creamBased and very accurate top tier>>22269590I never liked chocolate as a kid so i try to get a lot of everything
>>22269582>milk duds lower than toothbrushMilk dudes, it’s over ;_;
>>22269598sorry but I hate them even as a adultthey taste like garbage
Starting to think my neighbors who bring their kids to every house on the block but mine are harboring some sort of mixed feelings toward me
>>22269607Is your porch light on? And is your yard unkempt? I’m mostly being nosy
Update: all the toys are gone, and I’m done to m&ms on the chocolate side. Still wore a few suckers, gummies, airheads etc. Almost all the twizzlers are left lol
Ok so I guess the nights over. Had 14 kids. Im pretty sure some kids just skipped my place. Idk why, I have the porch lights on, they're even milit colord lights, and the light in the entryway on. Maybe I needed decorations.
>>22269637Sucks bro but their loss
28 total for me. Close to what I expected to get although it seems like every year I’m surprised by how front loaded the rush is - only 8 of the 28 were after 6pm
>>22269434I had 12 kids come by. That being said, my neighborhood is kind of remote so we don't tend to get many trick-or-treaters. Still, I always buy the full-sized bars to reward the handful of people who venture out this far.
>>22269637jack o status?
>>22269434I live in Arizona and there's a monsoon. Poor kiddos. You get like 2 Saturday trick a trees in your life and this one is taken from them. I wanted to yell at all the Demon Hunter girls in my Jinyu costume.
Rate my Take One bowl /ck/
>>22269615This is what’s left of my 5 big bowls of candy! Not too bad, i had quite a few parents of small children take only one piece. Understandable, but I’d like to think I’d just eat the candy the little ones shouldn’t lol
>>222696681/10Wheat thins?!?
>>22269480Been doing that for a decade. Little shits getting dropped by the bus load, lines of cars, hay rides and goes for hours. Burned through $200 of candy in 30 minutes and haven't done it since.
>>22269677Where do you live, my lord
>>22269607>>22269637I think some people were using social media trick or treat maps this year, my house got passed several times too
>>22269756Frankly the nearest to nowhere in NC. But apparently I moved to what I later found out was "the nice" neighborhood so surrounding churches and kids from other nearby subdivisions all specifically come out here.
>>22269786Lights on should be enough imo, I’m not going to mess with logging into a website to say I have candy
>>22269786That’s crazy, didn’t know people were mapping shit. I saw kids skip the houses with no decorations desu, which is lame, i never did that. I never decorate either, would rather invest in candy.I have dogs, so every year i sit in my driveway by the candy bowls though. Hard to miss>>22269791That’s cool, I’m sorry that it bothers you but sounds awesome to me!I really love Halloween, it’s just one day of low-stakes fun time. And i like seeing all the costumes and freaking love candy myself. I guess if you live near the churches and whatnot they probably do things throughout the month, that’s probably annoying too
Lights off :) only got one trick or treater last year anyway. The game is over. You get more candy at the trunk or treats or church events anyway.
>>>/tg/98906445
>>22269592Great point>>22269664Oh that is a bummer. I’m in Indiana, so we had plenty of cooold Halloweens to brave. Not very many where it was actually down pouring though. Id have probably harassed my mother into letting me go anyway.
>>22269807I’ve always wanted to egg and toilet paper a house
>>22269807Kek
>>22269807>everyone supporting the eggers good
>>22269812What's stopping you?
>>22269812You're an adult now, you can do whatever you want. Just enjoy the consequences.
I TP’d every house on the street like 10 years in a row as a youngster but even then I knew you don’t throw eggs they cause damage
>>22269800Previously lived in a very large development (easily 4x this one) and that same amount of candy would have lasted with some left. When your talking dropping $600+ on candy to cover and it's not even the neighbors little shits knocking about that did it in for me.
>>22269434>>22269481I bought three costco bags this year because last year two bags wasn't enough.I've only had 4 and a baby come by during the afternoon, gave each kid a big handful and I still have this much left.It's almost 11PM now, I don't think any more people will show up. It makes me feel awful and I'm worried if the current economic situation killed their interest in celebrating Halloween this year.
>>22269844A parent that’s lets the economy rain on a holiday like Halloween is just ashitty parent. Straight up go to goodwill, and let your kid get free candyBut anywayI blame trunk n treats or aging out
>>22269830>>22269830Fear of consequencesI have a job and a mortgage now :(>>22269837This is how the elites keep us in line, can’t even egg a house without fl0ck or r1ng sending the cops to shoot your dog
>>22269579I got at least half of the bucket I put out taken, which is nice! Unexpected. It would have been neat to sit out and see some costumes. I at least feel good about getting something this year and kids going out.
>>22269840Fair enough! I’ve always planned and budgeted for candy, I’d love to have $600 to spend on it. I always wish i had the money and time to do cool decorations or a haunted house like some of my neighbors! Don’t get me wrong, not judging you for not participating in an area like that. I’m kind of a nerd for the holiday, can’t expect everyone to be
>>22269844I saw a news blurb that mentioned people buying less chocolate in favor of cheaper non-chocolate Halloween candy this year. If you still want it to go to kids maybe donate some of it to a local Boys and Girls club (assuming they’re allowed to accept it)
>>22269807Fucking loser
>>22269855InterestingI’ll see if donating the candy is an option, i hate wasting it
I've never seen my neighborhood this dark before. Everyone turned off their lights super early. Trick or treating is dead, at least in this neighborhood.
ONE fucking kid showed upWasted $19.91, fuck halloween, kids and their parents suck now
>>22269914The cost of candy blew my mind. I got a reasonably small bag of Sour Patch Kids, and it was $14. I don't really like candy, especially not chocolate, so I tried to get something I'd maybe have one or two of later. This is all gonna eventually go bad.
>>22269909>>22269914Truly a bummerDuring the slow years in my neighborhood, i only bought candy i liked so I could at least enjoy it
>>22269914You get WAY more candy and it's safer taking your kids to trunk or treats or whatever they call them now
>>22269938They’re also way more lame. Assuming you live in a subdivision and not apartments or somethingHow do you know you get more candy at a trunk n treat?
>>22269956Because when I was a kid I did regular trick or treating and later my parents took me to the church trunk or treats and I got WAY more candy at the church events than going door to door.
>>22269919Just give it away. Surely you know someone who would take a large bag of candy for free. If you have a vacuum sealer you can just vac it and it literally will not go bad. The only thing that could even happen is that it dries out. Hell just put it in a ziploc bag and it'll be good for a year.
>>22269958My neighborhood has always been generous, i see why you’re so into the lamest version
>>22269977It's neighborhood by neighborhood apparently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>22269980The neighborhoods go through cycles too. I would like to think i contribute to the continuous culture of generosity over the years, but during slow years i wonder how everyone else handled it.
>>22269434not 1 kid down my street. Going on like 10 years now. Driving home around 7pm I only saw one group of trick or treaters in the neighborhood. Didn't have candy anyway. If one happened to come by the would have received the choicest Top Ramen.
