Exactly why I haven’t done it in a couple of years. I hate it, cause I love this holiday. But get fucked with these prices. Maybe this is all the winning.

Holy smokes! Candy got expensive AF. (TikTok screencap)
I'm putting out a bag of potatoes this year instead.
New Halloween: kids will trick or treat for fresh produce.
That would scare some of them for real
At least we don't have to worry about getting our houses egged anymore.
People who have afforded to buy their neighbors candy in the past have always been awesome people.
I am not one of those people.
Learn how to bake the awesomest shortbread you can, & wrap some of that edible-gold up in wax-paper for each kid.
Flour, cornstarch, oats, butter, salt, do not add-up to the extortion-prices charged by the flavored-sugar-in-plastic-wrappers companies.

Always has been (in countries that do not celebrate Halloween). The prices of grave candles seem okay for now though.
We’re doing no candy too. These little birth control advertisements running around leave trash around on purpose and destroy property repeatedly in my neighborhood.
Their neglectful parents can buy them candy.
