Holy smokes! Candy got expensive AF. (TikTok screencap)
We stopped giving out candy and instead do chips, juice, gummies, cracker packs, etc. The cost is roughly the same, he kids send to love it, and we don't want to be stuck with a bunch of leftover candy.
All tricks no treats this year kiddos.
To clarify; danish candy prices are fucking ridonkoulus.
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.

We don't have enough kids in my neighborhood to justify buying candy
Neither do we, but I still buy it, pretend we do, then eat the bag over the night!
People who have afforded to buy their neighbors candy in the past have always been awesome people.
I am not one of those people.
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.
fuck that
