Towards the end my handfuls for bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341647 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 16:37:16 +0000 rattles 2341647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 plus a glow bracelet. When DD was helping, they got a double fistful each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341636 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 16:09:49 +0000 looch 2341636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varied, I think I handed out no less than two pieces each. I really didn't want leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341564 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:33:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2341564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: that's a great idea. We don't get that many kids (sad face) so it wouldn't be too expensive to buy something nicer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341562 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:30:33 +0000 WinterBee 2341562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I live in a rural area and do not get many kids at all so ours is not the typical. We just had a few friends kids come, but they got like 7-9 candy/chocolate pieces, stickers, Halloween rings and my homemade caramel apples.<br /> When I was a kid I remember it being pretty standard to get 2-3 candies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341555 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:20:37 +0000 chopsuey 2341555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first 3 trick or treaters got a huge handful each since this was our first year handing out candy at our new house. :P they probably each got at least 10 pieces.<br /> Everyone else got 1 (babies) - 5 pieces.<br /> We ran out after 2 hours and turned the lights off at 8pm 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341548 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:12:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2341548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hand out 2-3 per kid.</p> <p>My MIL had 750 kids last night, so she just hands out 1 per kid. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341545 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:10:45 +0000 JenGirl 2341545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised so many people give out so much. I remember getting way too much candy as a child and there was a lot of waste, so we buy the good stuff, but only give one piece per kid. Unless we have a ton left and it's the last half hour... Then they get a whole handful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341530 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 13:53:18 +0000 catomd00 2341530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just let them pick their own. Some take one, some ask how many, some take handfuls. When the candy is gone, it's gone and we close the door and shut the light off. I've never been concerned about running out - it is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341519 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 13:43:33 +0000 alphagam84 2341519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally do 2 pieces per kid. We had less than 20 come by though and if I'd known that I'd let them take more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341486 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 13:02:19 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2341486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give out 2 pieces each until the end, when we have a ridiculous amount left. Then we start giving away handfuls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341448 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 11:48:58 +0000 MrsBeluga 2341448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've already changed my game plan for next year, we're going to get 3 cases of granola bars/Rice Krispies/chips from Costco and let kids pick one larger treat each. We spent about 40 on candy, and I think the larger treats will have more of an impact and be about the same price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341438 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 11:30:31 +0000 lemondrop 2341438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teenagers get 1 piece, most kids get 2-3 pieces, and kids we know well or super polite/really fun costumed kids get little jackpots of a handful. We just gauge as the evening goes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341435 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 11:18:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2341435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was adamant we give one treat per kid, for five kids though I gave a juice &amp; chocolate. I needed to get rid of the juice! Growing up and when I handled ToTing at my mom's neighborhood each house gave a way a small handful. </p> <p>The kids and parents at my neighborhood didn't mind the one treat though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341427 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 11:01:11 +0000 Umbreon 2341427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get 80-100 kids so we always make sure to have at least enough for two per child. I feel cheap giving just one. This year we bought bags of chips to give out and we only gave one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341403 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 10:27:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 2341403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom gave big handfuls, because we only ended up with 3 trick-or-treaters, one of which was Evan, lol. Apparently our development is a ghost-town. We have a ton left over...luckily (or unfortunately), I bought candy I like...pregnant me hasn't been able to resist it!</p> <p>We took Evan to a different neighborhood (we started early and there were no porch lights on where we live...we thought it was just too early, so we'd come back through here later), and got 1-2 pieces from each house. There were TONS of people on the street, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341340 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 08:36:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2341340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave 2-3 by end of night it was 5-6....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341339 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 08:35:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2341339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give 2 or 3 per! Most people gave LO 1 then stuffed a few more in her bag because she was being so sweet and chatty. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341306 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 07:48:16 +0000 blackbird 2341306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to give out a lot because we only got about a dozen trick or treaters. Last night, people gave out 1-2 pieces mostly! At the end of the night, DH and I sat by the fire pit and gave out 2 pieces per kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341299 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 07:42:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2341299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 360 pieces of candy and have about 25 left over. We gave out 2-3 pieces (depending on how many DD1 threw in their bags) and a glow bracelet to the TOTers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341274 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 07:09:24 +0000 woodentulip 2341274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got around 100 kids. I gave out kinder eggs and a couple of candies with them to the little kids and bags of chips with a few chocolates and a few candies to the older kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341226 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 03:27:36 +0000 Charm54 2341226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get many so I tell them to take to what they want. 95% of the kids are really polite and take maybe 3-4 pieces...a couple kids got greedy and were taking handfuls until I told them that's enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341222 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 01:36:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 2341222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start off with 2 or so and, by the end of the night, dump the rest into the bags of a few lucky kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341221 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 01:32:02 +0000 BSB 2341221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get a ton for the past few years, so we usually tell them to take what they want. </p> <p>Tonight we had two big groups of 5 kids come by so I gave them 2 each. I thought more were going to come. We ended up with an all time high of 12 kids TOTAL! Our record before was 4 kids. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341220 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 00:59:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2341220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give big handfuls. We get very little trick-or-treaters. This year was the all-time record of a whopping 12 kids! We always buy more than enough candy, just in case. But by the time the first kids come, it's obvious we'll have more than enough candy. </p> <p>We live in Sweden and Halloween isn't so big here. It's slowly picking up, but it's nothing like how it was for me as a kid. It's the only holiday I truly miss! I've been upping my Halloween cheer each year - hopefully we can help make it more of a tradition here :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341218 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 00:50:06 +0000 sunny 2341218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have gotten 60-80 kids each year so I give 1 each because I've run out in the past! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341209 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 23:30:42 +0000 DesertDreams88 2341209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did two pieces of candy, and we bought 150 pieces bag,. I estimate we had about 60 trick or treaters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341208 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 23:25:23 +0000 MrsBeluga 2341208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 2-3 per kid, next year I am going to look into premaking little bag of 3-4 pieces, or couponing a major deal on full size.<br /> We ended up with about 100 kids, and we were outside on our porch from 7-8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-treats-do-you-give-each-trick-or-treater#post-2341195 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 22:41:16 +0000 mrsjyw 2341195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get many tot'era so we do at least a few pieces per kid, when ds1 was helping out he was doing big handfuls... Probably five pieces? </p>
