Why run?

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Duane

So, I didn’t show this one to my kids, but I had to put it on my blog for Halloween. I see that this was taken off the air for being too scarey. . . so if you scare easy, you should have someone else preview it for you…. it’s my Halloween warning!

Many of you know that I am NOT a very big Halloween fan – really not one at all – especially when I heard the other day that the average amount of $$ spent at Halloween is . . . .

wait for it. . . . .

this is per person. . . . .

$300
That is insane to me – my family should spend an average of $2100 on Halloween???
I would WAY rather go on a holiday!!

Just so you know,  I do feel guilty sometimes that I don’t like Halloween – some would call me a ‘fun sucker’ – I’ve been called that before. . . . sigh – I think I am too cheap and/or too lazy to put all the time, energy and money into Halloween for the name of fun. . . . alas, in the Halloween Spirit, I found a GREAT video….

As I said before, it is a bit scarey – but I think that is what makes it – appropriate for Halloween. . . . and hey – FREE! Ha Ha!  I am not fitting into the statistic – some other family of 7 is going to have to spend $4200 on Halloween this year!  

Happy Halloween today – – – and tomorrow life can get back to normal – yah!

    That's a fun video – I think it's CRAZY how much $$ people spend on Halloween. It made me feel somewhat better knowing that we spent $12 this year on candy (we didn't hand any out… we live in a not so safe area) and my brother wanted to buy my kids their costumes! Not bad eh?!

    $300? what in the world do people spend it on??? I ditched my costume because I couldnt make it in under $20….then went to the cheap movie and bought some candy the next day – maybe maxed out at $30 all together….I gotta increase a lot it looks like!

    That video was so funny! A very fitting Halloween contribution for sure. And you know I agree with you on the whole $$$ thing. Though, I like to think of myself as "prudent" not cheap. It just sounds better:)!
