Candy readiness thread

[Knobgoblin]

Not a Costco member; how much are those full size packs?
I might have to join!
For prepper supplies of course.

No clue.
Me make money. Wife spend money

I haven't been present for a Costco run since March or April, and she goes twice a month. Pizza and hot dogs are the only thing I miss.

Front line. Cliche I know, but 2 boxes of Costco full size usually gets us through the dozen or so kids who turn out.

The dollar is in the bowl just to irritate my wife. She thinks giving money is tacky.

Same here.

I just got 200 small rifle primers, federal ar match at Bob Ward's I can give out, if anyone can find me.

I am deep in the hills, 10 miles from the nearest town, on my own 20 acres. If a deer or elk knocks, I could probably give them some oatmeal? So far, just a cute family of mule deer, since my old man made Bambi's mom a gambrell ornament a couple days ago.

From the other thread...

I had one knock around 7:00. Dog immediately goes into her hell hound "I will eat you" bark and by the time I got to the door, they were gone and probably still running. That's OK, good dog, more Smarties for me.

My wife made the mistake of putting candy in the bowl by the front door a week ago in an effort to "organize" things... we may or may not have needed to replenish our candy inventory before the first wave hit.

I don't touch the sealed bags or boxes of treats ( chips, trail mix, whatever)
Once something gets opened I harvest the bounty every time no one's looking.

We don't get trick or treaters here. Not enough like city or suburb, too much distance between houses, long driveways, woods. When I had children that age decades ago, Mrs. Merkt loaded them into the car and drove them to suburban neighborhoods with large houses.

One year, even though nobody comes to the door, just in case, Mrs. Merkt placed a bowl full of candy bars on the front porch. They all disappeared just the same. I solved that riddle a couple of days later by finding wrappers all over my woods. The squirrels got them.

Supply chain issues = Snickers Almond bars and Baby Ruth are in national short supply.

for the last several years, been doing the big 150 pack of mini's from Costco. This year, I'd estimate about 225 goblins darkened our doorstep, even with the pouring rain. So a more or less average year for us. Only one jack o' lantern this year, drawn and carved by my 14 y/o daughter.

I'm going to be sorry, but I have to ask.

Why do you have a bale of clown noses???

Same answer as so many here give about the amount of guns they own: "Two is one and one is none."

It's part of being a clown at heart and trying to embody that pan-cultural archetype of trickster and clown. I love wearing them out and about, love bringing along a few extra to give out. I keep one in my pocket every day... I like to joke that between a clown nose in one pocket and a knife in the other, I feel prepared for almost any social situation that could come my way.

They get a lot cheaper when you buy them by the 500.

Mods , move to ammunition discussion area if you're so inclined.

Members; How you sitting for tonight?
Stacked deep? Just enough to survive the night? Or are you going to black out your whole house and hide in the garage?

I don't "do" Halloween, and if you feed stray freeloaders they'll keep coming back!

2.5 bags of 150 items each. Our house draws quite the crowd...
