Buying Halloween candy can be a tricky process.

You don't want to buy it too early, because there is a high chance you will open a bag or two and eat it all. Of course, you don't want to buy it too late either, because then all the good stuff is gone.

We could debate all day on which candy is the best for Trick-or-Treaters and still not have a solid answer, but one thing that isn't debatable is the cost. Over the last few years, the cost of Halloween candy has increased significantly. So much so that many folks are handing out those super nasty black and orange wax-papered tan chewy things, which are by far the worst Halloween candy of all time.

Now, I'm one of those guys who likes to keep it local as much as possible, and we have lots of local stores to choose from, like Town and Country Foods, but it is important to remember that even though a store might be "corporate" they employ local people who live and spend their money all across Montana.
