Okay - we dumped all the goods into a 5 gallon bucket & it was overflowing! So I sorted everything for easy access- put them into 1 gallon ziplock bags - under the following categories -- chocolate, suckers, hard candies, chewey candies and compressed sugars (smarties, runts, sweethearts, etc) I also had a bag for mexican candy and tootsie rolls - which I threw out because 1- no one would eat them and 2-there just wasn't room in the 5 gallon bucket for rejected candies that would stay there till next year & tempt me to hand them out as trick or treat candies at THAT point in time...don't want to be labled cheap or frugle - no one likes the people who hand out the tootsie rolls anyway.
Anyway - it's interesting to see how "little" it looks like you have once you sort all the candy out & put them in their own spots!
Here are more pictures of the kids (see our trunk or treating post a few posts down from this for more pictures!)

you...sorted...your halloween candy... you ARE type-A aren't you?! my kids would be screaming bloody murder about "this one's mine!" and making sure we always counted who had how many etc etc. =)
ROFL... the look on Kali's face is PRICELESS!
You are just too anal for me... or perhaps I'm just jealous that I never thought to do this first. I just hand it to them and say eat it all, just make sure to barf in the bucket.
Hey!! I love tootsie rolls! You should have saved them for me. BTW, very impressed that you sorted them. I just through our 2 bags in the top of the pantry, hidden from view, before my 2 monsters gobbled all of them up!
oops, i mean threw... Anyway, I still can't believe my little cub scout, Rossi, is that old!! He looks so grown up.
LOL...so while everyone's raggin on you for your candy procedures, I thought, Wow, what a good idea! I know have a grocery bag full of 4 smaller bags of separated candy. Not only am I weird/anal too, I'm a big fat copy cat. Thanks for the tips! ;)
