Cash For Candy
Lesley Mitchell at the One Cheap Chick blog has an interesting story. She reports that if you’re awash in candy after Halloween, you can trade it in for cash at South Mountain Dental.
Dentist Christopher Johnson is buying candy from kids of all ages at the rate of $1 per pound on Nov. 2 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. He will then ship all the goodies he’s collected to U.S. troops overseas.
What a great idea – for kids and our loved ones overseas! For more information, go here and click on “Money for Munchies.”
Editor’s note: Free PR for a clever dentist. And while you’re dropping off your candy, get a checkup.

That is a wonderful idea. When I was deployed it made my day to get something from home. It lets you know that you have not been forgotten when your in another country.

More dentists should do something like that, it’s a cute idea. Less junk for kids, a little change in return for bringing it in, and it gets passed on to someone who will enjoy it.
