Trick or Treat Experiment

Thanks to a tip I picked up on Safeway’s Facebook page, this year we’re going to experiment and mix our candy with pencils and stickers for the kids. Both of these items have achieved “accessory status” in our house – the colors, themes, characters, and sparkles that are available totally draw the girls in. In fact, a year or so ago, the twins used to put stickers on their faces as “make up” (no idea how they got that idea, they ended up looking like they had nicked themselves shaving). I’m not sure how it’s going to go over with the trick or treaters but it’s worth a try, there will still be plenty of candy out there! Have you ever given out treats other than candy?

I just wanted to say thanks to Safeway. I am a low income American with a tight budget for my household goods and food. I was shopping at Winco the other day with my dad, who insists that the items are always cheaper. I was overlooking their meat isle, when I decided NO I am going to Safeway.

After returning to Safeway I had discovered my favorite items on sale that week, and the meat prices where exceptionally better! ! ! ! Not to mention the quality of meat, and knowing the meat department is run by a butcher, in a meat union. At winco the meat can be cut by anyone who is back there, and the cuts of meat suffer due to this.

So, thanks Safeway for cutting your prices and helping our family out, with good quality and great prices.

I heard there was a survey worth ten dollars on the site but I haven't found it. Anyone know the access info?

Yes, I have given out playdough instead of candy for halloween.  It was a huge hit with all the kids big and small.
