This year I have spent alot less than usual. I bought about 8 LED spotlights from Home Depot to light my haunt better, and my first inflatable, from Lowes. I bought some tombstones, a large pumpkin, a lantern, and an hour glass, from Target. I bought 2 skeleton dogs and a single light from Grandin Road.
I am at about $160 on candy, and am buying some more small treat items from Oriental Trading to give out to the ToTs.
I am going to guess around $800. I have to get my batteries, and some more hay. I pray that is all I am exposed to before Halloween. I have a terrible terrible weakness for pumpkins, witches, and anything that celebrates the season. It is almost an obsession. The other day I was wondering when I will stop wanting to acquire more stuff and be happy with what I have. Has anybody reached that point yet?
My spouse ate at Cracker Barrel the other day, and he point blank told me not to go into Cracker Barrel. He said it in a gentle, pleading voice,so I will take pity on him and stay out of Cracker Barrel.
