When you go to buy those ginormous bags of candy…do you buy what you like, so you can have all the leftovers? Or do you buy something you don’t like, so you won’t be tempted?
Both.
ETA: And leave the peanut butter O’Henrys for me dammit!
What we like - it’s all leftovers.
I am actually planning on not giving out treats this year, because we are broke. Waaay, way broke.
But I give the good stuff when I can afford it. Not because I want to eat the leftovers, but because it’s one of the few times…only time?..in the year you can make a lot of little kids very happy, and I know that Reeses makes them happier than SweetTarts. 'cause, you know, I was a kid once. 
I still remember one particular Halloween:
There was this older, widowed lady who lived in a house by this creek that all us kids used to walk on to get to school, during the winter when it was iced over. Our mothers didn’t want us doing this, of course, and she didn’t either. So we got yelled at a lot by her, and we referred to her as The Witch.
I remember we were trick or treating and we went to her house, hoping she wouldn’t recognize us in our costumes, lol.
She was dressed…as a witch! And…She was either the first, or the only, one to give us FULL SIZE CANDY BARS!! She had tons of them! She told us to come by again on the way home for more!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:
that was AWESOME. Even more so because it was from so unexpected a source 
And the fact that I still remember that 40 years later makes me want to make some little kid’s jaw drop the same way if I can, hehe.
Full-size Heath bars.
Hundreds of them.
… but… ***I ***like SweetTarts… 
I get the good stuff. Never know if there’s going to be extra, and I’d end up eating it anyway. Nothing worse than eating candy that isn’t your favorite.
Mmm, candy corns and SweetTarts and jolly ranchers and oh so very much chocolate. Hershey bars and Reeses Pieces and ReeseCups and Heath… yummy yummy stuff.
I give out what I like, when I can afford it. Thinking about giving out grab bags this year with a full sized hershey bar, a regular tootsie roll pop, fruit flavored tootsie rolls, and sweet tarts.
I buy the “good” candy, but I also toss it by the handfuls when the hour grows late so I won’t have all that chocolate calling my name.
You should dress as Willy Wonka. 
I invariably buy either Almond Joys, Mounds, or Heath bars because they’re my favorites. The best news is that I get zero trick-or-treaters, so I get them all to myself!
I buy what one or both of us like, so leftovers won’t be wasted. Of course, this year I probably also have the option of donating leftovers to the building manager’s desk candy dish.
I’m not tempted by candy, so I buy what I like. I also tend to give out in heaps and run out before the night is finished, otherwise it’s just going to sit around the house.
I don’t give out anything, because if trick-or-treaters try to buzz up to my apartment I’m going to tell the doorman to tell 'em to piss off. But if I did, it’d be all about the Tootsie Roll Pops. I don’t think any kids actually like those, but I do. 
I buy a bunch of different stuff. Some of what I like and some of what I don’t like. I am doing so fantastic on my diet this year (-42 lbs), I think I’m going to only buy stuff I don’t love to avoid falling off the wagon.
I buy the good stuff in snack sizes. Mostly chocolate, and a nut-free option like Skittles. I also give out small toys. Last year it was rubber mice.
Nobody really has to worry overmuch about extra candy. Anyone who works: bring it to work and put it in a big bowl saying “Don’t touch!” and it’ll be gone in a heartbeat.
Everyone else: dump it all on the last kids, lol. I mean, save a little in case stragglers come by, but yeah. Shouldn’t be too hard to get rid of
When we give out candy, we only give out the good stuff. Chocolate, lots of it.
Next year, we’re doing full size candy bars. We have a rep to establish in our neighborhood.
I buy only the candy that I don’t like, otherwise there will be none when the trick-or-treaters get here.
People *LIKE *Jolly Ranchers? I always thought that was the bottom of the barrel!
Jolly Rancher used to make a…wait for it…caramel stick. They used to make the hard candy sticks, too; not really sticks, more like…rectangles. Anyway, they also made them in caramel that had almonds in it.
40 years later and I can still taste those. I sooooo miss them. And if they made those still, I’d definitely give those out
It’s the annual lock the door, switch out the lights and turn off the doorbell, at my house here in Scotland.
We used to do guising when I was a kid in the 80s, which involved going door to door and doing a “party piece” like telling a joke, or singing a song, and then being rewarded with sweets, monkey nuts, or fruit.
Nowadays, thanks to cultural invasion, it’s not the same, and more “give us the sweets or else”. Oh, and pumpkin lanterns rather than our old traditional carved turnips
