My sister left a comment after the hoarding post that dentists are paying $1/pound for candy and sending it to the troops, who can eat it or give it away. My kids are excited about the prospect of getting to get rid of the candy that they can’t eat (and in this case, it’s not just because they don’t have the space in their little bellies or in their treasure chests, it’s because they’re allergic to ingredients) and get some money for it. Although I’d probably encourage them to do it even if they didn’t get money…
There’s a place to enter your zip code and find a dentist near you who will do this.
I do ask myself whether we should also be sending the troops extra toothbrushes, but I guess that’s covered in a different place.

We did that today! Marty and Eddie had 3 pounds each and Charlie had 1/2 pound. They were very excited and it helped that they were sending it to the troops.
Go dentists!
