The economy hit you hard? Worried about childhood obesity and health? Don't pass out expensive candy to the kids this Halloween and rot their teath. All you do is stockpile those free little packages of ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc. all year from your favorite fast food restaurant and then pass them out instead. The good kids get packs of relish or Arby sauce. Imagine the "surprise" as they rifle through their bag of candy. Any other ideas of what to give for trick or treat?

One year, we bought these little trinket toys (airplanes, dolls, etc.) from a company called Oriental Trading. We gave the kids options of candy or the trinket toy. 80% or more picked the toys (and they were no more expensive than the small candy bars).
Here is an example assorted pack of items.

One year I kept a jar of pennies near the front door and when kids came I would offer to buy candy from them (mostly gum) for a few pennies a piece. They would get a little money and I would get rid of pennies I had no use for!

Nothing funny in disappointing little kids. What a mean lot you three are!
I think if that happened to my kids, I'd be finding out who did that.

That is a good idea for the "non-costume" teens we get! Lets see, packets of salad dressing, mustard (chineses is best), soy sauce, and for the little kids dressing up - real candy - rewards for dressing up, and anti-rewards for being greedy.
