Cash for candy: Halloween candy buyback programs
It's a stimulus program that even the kids can enjoy!
A number of local dentists' offices are hosting Halloween Candy Buyback programs to encourage trick-or-treaters to take it easy with the sweet stuff, as @juliemore told us in today's paper.
The dentists usually pay about $1 per pound of candy. Some also give away freebies such as fun toothbrushes to encourage kids to brush after enjoying the rest of their holiday haul.
Check the Halloween Candy Buyback Web site for locations near you, and call participating dentists for more information.
The treats will be sent by Operation Gratitude to troops serving overseas.
