Yes it's a constant battle in our culture. Church, school, grocery store, bank... Always it's a special treat.
We used to collect the kids candy they brought home from school and buy it back. We would fill up giant gallon pickle jars.
I brought up the topic in the community parent teacher council and they all said they don't see that much candy. 🤦♂️
After we started homeschooling 2 years ago we don't collect nearly as much junk.
The exception is Halloween. We offer to buy back 90+% of the candy. This last year all the kids pooled their candy and we bought them Tears of the Kingdom. They thought it a very worthy trade. It was cheaper than a single cavity filling.
