Oh, I'm not stingy with candy and hoard it for myself. On the contrary, every year I went out of my way to spend what meager savings I had on candy for trick-or-treaters. I didn't get that crappy orange and black peanut butter taffy either. I always got the good mini candy bars and shit. And every fucking year, despite the porch light blazing and the obviousness of someone being home and willing to freely give out candy, no one showed up. And then I was left with five to ten gallons of candy, little of which I could eat, so it either went stale because no one ever visited, or it got thrown out.
So this year they can stay the fuck away. I'm spending the candy money on books.
