IF YOU DO ONE THING THIS WEEK. . . keep a lid on sweets before Halloween
Halloween and its trick-or-treat fun is days away yet, but it feels like the shops have been laying out the treats in preparation for weeks.
If you live in an area where zombies and witches tend to turn up at the door expecting treats on October 31st, of course it’s wise to stock up on some handy goodies.
But how do you stop yourself digging into the stash long before the doorbell rings?
One way is to hold off bulk buying the fun-size bars until the last minute. But if you have already stockpiled, you still have a few options.
Make sure to store them out of sight rather than beside the teabags. Or pop a few chocolate mini-bars in the fridge – if you decide you really need one, it will still go well with the cup of tea, but it will take longer to eat.
And when your own little zombies and witches return and dig into their collected swag, be sure they brush their teeth well before bed.
