I wanted to know if I was being stingy with it. I hold it up in a cabinet and hand a few pieces out after dinner when I think of it. Or sneak a piece into their lunch. I still have 1/4 of a lunch bag for each of them. So far, it looks like I'm running with the crowd on this one!

My older two, 7 and 3, are allowed to have one piece in the afternoon after school and if they are REALLY good maybe one more piece as a snack after supper. Whatever isn't gone by Thanskgiving gets thrown out.

My daughter is only 2, so it's not an issue yet. I take her out, but it's more for the experience. Last year she didn't have any, she was too young and had no teeth. This year, I give her a piece every now and then. She gets goodies sometimes at the sitters or at Grandma's, so I don't give her much at home. I don't want her at a point where she's eating more junk than actual food. And at this age, if she doesn't see it, she doesn't think to ask about it yet. If she gets candy at other holidays, a lot of times I put it in the freezer and get some out later.

I usually let them gorge a little on halloween night,obviously with a limit. The rest I tend to use to my advantage and they get it for good behaviour good grades etc. I don't like to make eating junk food a daily occurance so it works out better when they earn it.
I have five kids so there is still heaps left but ill probably throw it out by next week,it goes off otherwise.

I do the same thing you do. I have a HUGE salad bowl in my cabinet full of candy. It's mostly gum now, though.

A couple months. I let them pick candy out when they are acting nice at home, or as potty rewards for my younger child.

A year, they are not big on candy they just like to dress up and go trick or treating.

That's so funny that you asked that because I just threw my sons away and when he came home from school he wanted some and I had to tell him that bugs had gotten in it and I had to throw it away.

I still have candy now and I probably will get rid of it soon.
