From Andrea Metcalf - Top Halloween treats that don't add calories or sugar to your diet
Oct-23-2012

This Halloween you can still be fun for the neighborhood spooks without promoting sugar laden treats. At a local visit to Target, I found some amazing treats to pass out that won't break the bank and are at a similar or lower cost than most Halloween treats. Even if you're not a fitness or health expert, you can see the benefits of treating with some of the fun options below instead of just sugary treats.
Here was my shopping list:
Sugar Treats Comparison:
Treat Cost per Piece Calories Serving Size
Snickers Fun Size .44 160 2 mini bars
Tootsie Mini Pops .10 50 3 pops
Skittle Fun Packs .39 190 3 mini packs
Candy Corn .15 140 19 mini pieces
Chex Mix .27 120 1/2 cup
PopChips Tortillas .91 120 1 Bag
Juicy Juice Boxes .31 60 1 juice box
Non Food Items from Target:
Rubber Spiders: .25 / each
Parchute Jumpers: .25 / each
Glowstick Bracelets: .07 / each
Pirate EyePatches: .25 / each
Playdoh Minis: .33 / each
So given the price point and coolness of the non-perishable items. Maybe your next treat can be a fun trick and experience instead of just sugar.
GLOWSTICK BRACELETS:$1.00 - 15 $.07
GLOWSTICK NECKLACES: $1.00 -2 $.50
REFLECTIVE STICKERS: $1.00 - 3 - $.34
CRAYONS: $3.00 / 12 - $.25
EYEPATCHES: $3.00 /12 $.25
PLAYDOH: $4.99/ 15 $.33

Congrats Anupy on the new line!
