Has anyone bought Halloween candy yet? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm amazed at how early they started selling Halloween candy this year. May just be me, but it seems like it gets earlier every year. I mean a month in a half, are you kidding me? Who in their right mind can buy a bag of chocolate in mid-September, and make it last until the last night of October? I know I couldn't. Anyway, I'm not planning on buying any candy this year. I rarely get many trick or treaters, and last I checked, a decent sized bag of candy was going for around $12.99. I can't afford that. Anyway, has anyone bought any yet, and do you plan on it, or are you just going to turn off all your lights and pretend not to be home like me? lol

We rarely get any trick-or-treaters but we keep some candy on-hand just in-case. I like buying it the day after Halloween, that's when the stores think it automatically starts going bad and mark it down about 50% then a couple of weeks later is down 75-90% but by the time most the good stuff is gone.

No, way too early for me to buy it yet. It's just too tempting!

I will wait until the week of Halloween.
