Recipes Leftover Halloween Candy

Can You Freeze Halloween Candy

I have surveyed many blogs and here are all the things I found you can do with your leftover Halloween candy:

Make an “Eco-Friendly Edible Wreath” – Use Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops, Starburst etc. and you will have a lovely Thanksgiving or Christmas decoration.

Keep your candy in a cool place for storage and then use it over the holidays – Use the candy for stocking stuffers, parties and to decorate gifts. This saves money on buying treats throughout the holidays.

Find recipes using leftover halloween candy such as: Carmel Fudge Cake, Hershey Bar Cake, Butterfinger Cake, Heath Bar Cake.

Cheapest Place to Buy Halloween Candy

Halloween Candy Alternatives


A survey of many of the blogs indicates that Costco, Sams and Target have some of the best prices. Many bloggers mentioned Target will also match competitors prices if you bring in the ad.

Pay close attention to the ads that different retailers are running. There are some pretty good ads from every retailer if you watch the paper and the online coupon sites. For instance, our Kroger offered an online coupon you could load onto to your Kroger card which gave you $2.00 off if you purchased a $5 or more bag of candy.

Roadside Assistance for Paying Reasonable Towing Charges if Your Car is Disabled

Roadside Service Plans Breakdown Coverage Older Cars


You can spend $250 for or more for a tow, $65 for a jump-start or for a locksmith to open the car door, if you don’t already have some kind of roadside assistance membership. When your car breaks down it is unlikely you will be able or want to shop around for the lowest price.

Avoid getting gouged by purchasing some sort of roadside assistance membership. The membership program you are probably most familiar with is AAA but this is not always the cheapest option. A basic AAA membership (aaa.com) costs from $38.00 to 80.00 and entitles you to at least four roadside service calls, including tows, tire changes, battery boosts and lockouts. That comes out to about $20.00 per breakdown which is pretty cheap price for peace of mind.
