Right into the recycle bin. Every single day.
I feel ya ! Can’t wait until this is over🙄🥴
Right there with you Dr. Lori!
I do the same.
I see a huge Christmas collage 😊 you got this !
Recycle.
And even sadder, it is NOT recyclable due to the chemicals used to make them. Millions of campaign dollars are being dumped in the landfields. Oh, how this money could be better spent instead of destroying the environment. Have you noticed there has been little to no talk about climate change? My heart goes out to the postmen/women who carry this junk to every household. I found my postman sittimg in his truck soaked, extremely exhausted and probably dehydrated.
The money they waste on those
Oh no! Horrible
Omg, that's so unreal. Shame on them all. 😮
They just want your endorsement, Dr. Lori.

Shopping Scores at Largest Goodwill with Dr. Lori #shopping #thrift ... See MoreSee Less
I have several clear glass and colored serving plates and relish dishes from the 50's that belonged to my Mom and I love them! They add so much character and beauty to the table, along with great memories.
Dr. Lori! 🩵🌺
Where can you sell it to get top dollar, ebay is not it.
Why do you wear gloves?
Does not matter what it’s worth problem is getting that amount
Dr. Lori, hi. Would you call that "Two-tiered serving dish" a 'petit four' server?
I’ve been there! You are in my neck of the woods sort of! I live down south from there.
I hate those stickers of the price they are the death of me Dr. Lori
I need that clear plate for my set.
Where is this one?
Why do you wear gloves?
GOOD JOB!!!++++++++++++++++
Prices at our local Goodwill are too high, and the CEO is making millions off of donated items. I shop at true thrift stores.
I have two of those shown.
Spode "Christmas Tree" pattern can have two different values. Pieces formerly produced in England are collectible and go for significantly higher prices than the newer ones, made in China. Look for the England marking on the back.
Good luck getting $90 for a random Noritake snack plate.
Prices on the 2 Cranberry Goodwill’s are ridiculous. M going to the Rochester one this week

New England trip…comfort food, family fun, and a Massachusetts landmark. Publick House Historic Inn ... See MoreSee Less
exploring New England has always been on my bucket list.. I think I lived there in a past life!!!!!!
I was there a couple weeks ago fabulous.
The Public House reminds me of The White Gull Inn in Door County Wisconsin, another magical place. Fond memories ..
Do you drive in Boston ? I haven’t been to Boston in many years. I remember the exits being easy to miss. Many years ago, I loved the New England Aquarium. I love the historic houses.The taverns look quaint.
I was there years ago and loved it!
You are in a good place. My late husband and I stayed and dined at the Publick House many,many times.❤
Memories of school field trips. I grew up in East Haven.
We visit here when in Brimfield. Love it!
Looks like a nice place to stay all my relatives are from Boston area Plymouth I’m related to Myles Standish
We love it there! Stayed there two years ago. The chowder is amazing!
Red Pepper Relish, love that stuff..
Nice!
Relish sounds delicious
One of my very favorites! Glad you got to go there recently!
You are probably an excellent cook:) You have a nice weekend as well. Your dad probably met many interesting ,intelligent people during his tenure at Yale.

#ad Need some Halloween help from everybody. To sort or not to sort? I’m on DREW show on Nov. 2. The Drew Barrymore Show ... See MoreSee Less
These comments are very helpful. Thanks. I had no idea what the protocol was on this sorting of candy for allergies. I'm not as worried about it all now.
Parents should do their due diligence. You can ask but the responsibility is on the parent.
I used to use a pillow case also and one year it ripped and I lost a bunch of candy. Lol
I had with peanuts and without peanuts. So I asked before handing the candy out. 1 boy said that he was allergic to I started giving him the without. Well, he started reaching for the nuts!! No you get the without! His reach got stopped!! Hahah😂😂😂
Dr. Lori, it was 70+ degrees the past couple days in Boston. I hope you enjoyed the New England weather!~
We had brown paper bag we would decorate it like it was a Christmas tree.
Hi Dr. Lori! We did the pillowcase too! It worked much better to hold more candy! 🎃
A peanut allergy is so serious that I think a parent would want to be totally responsible for their child’s candy, whether they help them with trick or treating or they carry their bag and go through all candy first. You can buy non peanut candy if you’d like though. A lot of candy is processed in plants that also process peanuts anyway.
I don’t get any Halloween’s!! I live at the end of a 500 foot gravel driveway. At the end of the driveway is my 100 year old farmhouse which looks haunted! I do miss all those little kids in costumes 🥴 But I don’t have to worry about peanut allergies!
I got peanut M&Ms to give out. I never thought about it. The parents should check their bags.
I give out full-size candy bars and Rice Krispy treats for kids who don't want candy. I let them pick. I was always aware that there might be peanut allergies, but I figured they're picking and their parents should look through everything. The trees in the background as you were driving were gorgeous! We don't have such vivid colors here! You're so lucky! ❤️
I live in a rural area outside of Conroe, Texas, called......ready......Cut N Shoot. No lie. It's grown since I moved her 32 years ago, but we never, and I mean never, have ever had trick or treaters. They have Church Carnivals called "Autumn Festival" and they do a trunk or treat at the school, where cars line up and the people hand candy from there trunks. Creepy huh? Anywaaaay, love you Dr. Lori. ❤️
The candy is wrapped not home made so it's the parents responsibility
We always had pillow cases also. I loved Halloween and passed that love onto my kids when they were little. Now my son does a huge Halloween show called the Rise of the Jack o lantern on Long Island. Check it out it’s amazing. Let kids pick they know what they want lol. Happy Halloween 👻 everyone!!!!
Parents responsibility. They know what their kids are getting and know to go through all of it. Plus for any bad things these days that we didn't have to worry about years ago and you probably know what I mean.
Let the parents take care of it.
Dr. Lori, one little girl came and asked me if anything had peanuts in it? I said I can't be sure have Mom or Dad check. She said ok. This year I bought some non chocolate candy too.
Good question, never thought about that
Family doz it
You should give out Big bars thay love that Naber
No, let them. They are probably familiar with the process. If you have separate peanut free candy, put a teal pumpkin on your porch. That will tell folks you are allergy aware.
No you do not. The parent's can go through the candy when they get home.
I give them a choice. A bag of chips etc or candy
Most kids are very self aware of a peanut allergy. But you can always allow them to choose their candy. None of the candy is really safe for them, but they will have their process at home. It's not your job to try to figure it out.
