I think trick-or-treat standards have changed. When I was a kid, people gave out *one* piece of candy to each kid. As a young adult, I was shocked that when I offered candy, kids would grab a whole handful, and nobody acted like this was weird or greedy, but rather it seemed like a handful of candy was the default and giving kids just one piece would have been seen as stingy. Though I grew up out-of-state, and I was a rigid rule-follower of a kid, so it's totally possible that this is something that I've imagined and not a real change in how Halloween works. For whatever that's worth.
On the topic of ending up with inedible food and no time to get more: I wonder if there is frozen food that you could either buy or set aside in the freezer so that you could heat it up in the microwave on days when dinner goes wrong. It would be nice to have a backup option.
