Justification
And you know, if you wait until the last minute to buy Halloween candy, all of the good stuff is gone. My first time really getting Trick-or-Treaters at my own place, I'm not going to be the person handing out Smarty's and candy corn. Absolutely not. So it's best to stock up early, to make sure you'll be giving out quality candy.
And the grocery store had a special - two bags of candy for $5. It just doesn't make financial sense to only get one. I mean, with that deal, they're practically paying you to take the candy.
So that's why I have a basket full of Reese Cups and Kit Kats sitting on my kitchen table.
