What to do with Halloween Candy?
What to do with left-over Halloween Candy?

1) "Post-Halloween Tip: hide away any halloween candy that it not marked as "halloween" then use it for the kids' Christmas stockings."
#TheyNeverKnew     --Iris Petersen

2) Donate it! In honor of Veterans Day following Halloween, this is a great opportunity through Operation Halloween Candy Buy Back through local Dentist Locations supporting the troops by mailing the troops candy. Click here to find a local drop-off:

3) OR, you can simply mail the candy now, to:
OPERATION GRATITUDE/ CA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
17330 VICTORY BLVD.
VAN NUYS, CA 91406
ATTN: ANGEL CUEVAS / 262-674-7281

4) Don't feel guilty about trashing the candy. Or eating it all, and telling the kids it's all gone. Either way works. ;-)
4 Ways for an Easier Holiday Shopping Experience:

1) Make a list of what you NEED. I recommend using notes app on your phone so you don't forget the list at home. Mark off your list as you go.

2) Simple and frugal way of never forgetting your coupons at home--keep a plastic Ziplock bag in your purse to store your coupons. You'll love the light weight, see-through ease of this simple trick.

3) Did you know that you can now Google for a coupon and simply email the coupons to yourself? This technique is especially useful when shopping for big ticket items. The cashier can use the code on your smart phone. Create an email file folder for "Coupons."

4) Start at the far end of the store, and go one isle at a time. Skip any isles you don't need (junk food isle, for example.) This prevents the picture below from happening.
