For the past couple years I've stuck to handing out candy instead of either dressing up in a costume or getting candy myself as that both costs money I don't have and don't care for the effort needed for the costumes. I sit outside on my dad's pickup with the tailgate down and a big bowl of candy. By big I mean this is a giant bowl about 1 foot tall and 1 foot wide that could fit like a thousand dollars worth of candy. Kids usually starting coming around at like 6pm and I give out a couple to each. I have my phone out too playing music, not through a speaker so it isn't loud enough to be hear from like two hundred feet away but still loud. Trick or treating usually winds down around 9pm, and since there's probably like 200-300 kids that comes to where I live each year we usually are out of candy at the end of it, if not almost out.
