I try to get non-candy things that my kids will eat when we don't have a lot of trick-or-treaters.  So I get pretzel bags and mini-oreos.  We always buy for a crowd, but our block is pretty out-of-the-way (separated from town a two blocks of houses used as office buildings (doctors, lawyers, insurance agents), so nobody comes by.  At the end of the night we'll give away 2-3 bags of pretzels/oreos at a time.

I am thinking about getting the multipacks of chips, but I'm not sure if I want my kids eating chips for weeks after.  At least the pretzels are ok to bring for snack at school, and I will eat them myself.

My parents always hand out little bags of Gold Fish and their neighbor works for 7-up, so usually kids come hang out at their houses eating gold fish & drinking 7-up.

We always try to get G-free candy because our neighbor's grandson is g-free.  Hershey bars, Reece's cups, whoppers, etc.  I always try to google  it every year to make sure nothing has changed.
