We had a few dozen trick-or-treaters, which is UP from our normal 2-3 visitors per year in the past 5+ years! Everyone stopped by between about 6:30-7:15pm. I closed up around 8:45-9:00.

We are in a low traffic area, but we are always ready! We decorate our front porch and throw on an easy costume. Each kid gets a handful of mini chocolate candy bars. Each parent gets to pick from a special Halloween bucket with full size candy bars, dark chocolate, and mini adult beverages (50ml). We figure we might as well buy something we will enjoy if no one stops! 😂

I'd like to add to our outdoor 🎃 decorations, but not interested in buying anything that takes up a lot of storage space. We currently have a few pumpkins and fall/pumpkin themed decorations on our front porch, plus red flood lights on front of house (Christmas decor) and creepy music in front yard (portable speakers). I'd love to hear what others do to decorate outdoors for Halloween without buying big bulky items!
