My kids are excited about Halloween. Lucky for them, they have no idea what’s involved in preparing for Halloween besides dressing up and collecting candy.

What’s involved in Halloween, you ask?

Here’s a list:

• Halloween costumes for each child
• Candy for Trick-or-Treators
• Halloween decorations

Oh, wait.. here’s a great infographic that breaks it down for you.  Take a look and let us know if you spend more or less on Halloween.

Want to know a secret? If you look carefully and do the math, you’ll learn that if your household is sending out at least one trick-or-treater, by the end of the night you may have earned back your initial candy investment and then some.

I wonder if we should factor in dentist appointments and stomach meds for those who’ve eaten too much candy corn?
