When to buy halloween treats

Here's a tip I figured from reading this post at our sister blog, ParentDish: Hold off on buying your Halloween candy until shortly before the big day, or even better, just before the trick-or-treating starts. Why, you ask? Doesn't it save you money if you buy them early? Well, in theory, yes, but that's only if you don't eat all the treats before Halloween.

Ok, maybe your a master of willpower, and if that's the case, by all means by your treats now. But I know for myself, I wouldn't be able to stave off the temptation. I don't keep sweets in the house normally, so having them taunt me while I'm working might be too much to handle. And don't overdo it by buying way more than you'll need. If you do, make sure the last few kids get an extra-large serving of treats.

What do you think? Can you resist the Halloween candy?
