We bought about $40 in candy. Then this weekend my wife comes home with a huge box of candy. She's involved in a sports league and one of her jobs is running the snack bar, and at the end of the season everything that is left over gets given away. Last football game was Saturday, so we have a ton of food and candy now...

then she says "i cant believe how expensive Halloween costumes got." she goes on to tell me that her and her husband spent over $300 on costumes between them (for two nights), their two kids and their dog!
just goes to show why some people are so poor  |
But this has always been the case. You see it the most when you drive through an apartment complex. You see people renting crappy apartments, but driving brand new BMWs and Mercedes. I love it how people say they are broke but yet ran out last week to get a the new iPhone.
