Poky Mommy Doesn’t Get Good Candy
I put off buying Halloween candy till today. Bad decision. Though the aisles of Target were stocked, the good candy was gone. There were no bags of Take 5, not even combination bags that included it. There were no more Hershey’s Special Dark bags or mixes. There were no dark-chocolate M & Ms. It was terribly hard to decide. I didn’t want to do those cheapie grab bags that have high ratio of crappy candy. I decided I wanted to avoid peanuts and peanut butter (in revenge for the Take 5, but also because so many kids have peanut issues these days). And though I really wanted to avoid milk chocolate, because I don’t believe in it, in the end I decided on M & M minis, because they’re cute and the packets are small. Next year I’m shopping early, for the good candy.

I, too, put off shopping for Halloween candy until 5 pm on Halloween. However, the lucky kids in my neighborhood DID get 2 pieces each: 1 Take-5 bar and 1 box of Nerds. My house was a hit.
Kroger =1 / Target = 0

OK, you win. But I got to eat the Take 5 that Drake brought back in his haul.
We ran out of candy about an hour in, but Drake and Guppy had just returned, so I raided their bags for peanut containing stuff and lame candy (tootsie rolls, milk chocolate, etc.) and handed those out till they were gone.
