How do you all count the TOT's that come to your house. Do you precount the candy? I can only do a guess cause we got into the candy before Halloween lol!

I took count on paper this year just to see. We got around 650 kids and it was a lot of fun!

We count the candy beforehand (most bags have the number printed on them for an easy count).

Total pieces of candy - leftover pieces - wrappers from what my husband eats = total number of trick-or-treaters!

We just kept adding to a tally on a piece of paper. Every time we had some at the door we'd quietly keep track and then run to the kitchen and add a few marks to the list.

Of course, something like that would be silly if we lived in a subdivision that pulled in hundreds.

Thanks for the tips! I see UnOrthodOx the counter would work also lol! Next year I will count the candy ahead of time so I don't over buy which we tend to eat.

Overbuy....................????????????

We had well over 15 bags of candy and STILL ran out! We had over 500+ ToTers this year, just simply put of an OUT OF CANDY sign at about 9PM and we still had kids coming well over 10PM.......argh..........

We count the candy, we bought 3,600 peices, We had 3,470 trick or treaters.

Good lord! Do you live in a Wal*Mart?

We put together treat bags, so we know how many bags we made.
