My husband will send me off to the store “unsupervised” when he wants tasty snacks he wouldn’t normally purchase. One time, not knowing me shopping alone was code, I came home sans goodies. “But I sent you unsupervised just knowing you’d bring home something we didn’t need, snack-wise!” I think Janis must do the same when it’s time for Halloween candies.
Anybody else recall when Halloween was the only time you could buy ‘fun size’ candy. Eventually the manufacturers realized there exists there is a year-round appetite for them. After all, I am just going to have one or two…where did the bag of candy go!?!
Oh my….you can’t tell me Janis doesn’t realize she asks Arlo to go out and get the candy every year(!) so he’ll buy such products in excess. When he does, she’ll pretend to be upset at him but will eat the candy so it doesn’t go to waste without feeling culpable herself.
Last year we bought a box of single serving salty snacks and didn’t get any kids. Then we noticed we had 30 bags of HOT stuff. Neither of us are really into hot, but my wife’s son house sat for us a few weeks later and he ate all of them in three days.

Looks like she’s having a hard time opening the bag. I can identify with that.

That is how she gets the candy.

We always have no trick or treaters because we live 1/4 mile down a gravel road. Every year I buy what we like.

And Arlo takes his job of eating the candy before it has a chance to spoil.
