Just bought mine yesterday. The chocolate bag was 15.99. The non-chocolate one was 13.50 or so.

I usually get the chocolate mix. We get TONS of kids in our neighborhood so I usually get 2 bags. I try to hand out just one candy at a time but I usually end up throwing several pieces into each kids bag.

Aldi had 250 piece bags for 19.99 so was trying to see if Costco was a better deal. Looks like it is.

Be original and buy some variety.

....why the hell do you care

Is there any thread on DCUM that can't escape negativity? Jeesh.

Buy toothbrushes. The kids will love them!

Last year, I bought little bags of pretzels. I thought this was great idea because it was different. My husband informed me that we had the worst treats on our street. Luckily, our house was not toilet papered after this. lol

I do agree with the original poster to be original and buy some variety. You could get nut-free candy such as cow tails, twizzlers, and gummy candies. Or, you could get big candy bars.

Hershey's are usually even less. They have packs of the full size all one variety at great prices. The combo packs of full size are almost as cheap on sale. The absolute best deal are kisses, but it's so disappointing to get small crap at Halloween. I'm mixing full size candy bars with small toffees just because I have too much toffee and I can't stop eating it.

Where and when can I find these 50c candy bars? Are you talking Hershey? My kids like them and it would be great to find such a good sale. Thanks.

Below PP, and that was us the last two years, hence the wait.

The chocolate mixes are $16 and the funhouse treats are $14 (from Google Express). Which one do you buy OP? Now I want to get mine, but I know DH will open it and then we will eat it before Halloween, so I'm waiting this year.

Around 15 I think.

Either 12 or 15.

By any chance does anyone remember how much those giant bags of Halloween candy cost at Costco? I think they're usually about 250 pieces. I just looked at Costco.com and didn't see them.
TIA!
