Stocking up and stashing Halloween candy. Do you?

Posted by dhorst, October 14, 2009

We get around 125 to 150 kids trick or treating on Halloween. And since Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, I'm expecting the upper end of that number. Since we have so many kids, I usually go to Sam's Club and pick up three or four really big bags. I went at the beginning of the month and the kids were ticked that I wouldn't open one of the bags. But once one is open--temptation lurks and then the bag is only half full. So I hide it where they're least likely to find it. This year the stash in the front hall closet in a basket under my girly scarves and hats, ones the boys would never think of wearing. So peeps, do you stock upon candy ahead of time or just buy it the night before? Do you hide it from yourself or others?
