Holy smokes! Candy got expensive AF. (TikTok screencap)
Buy your candy at the end of August like I do and they are half price or even lower. This is what happens when you wait until what you would think the opportune time to buy your Halloween candy is.
This can't be real. Someone please confirm?
-(sent from the UK)
But what about Helloween? Heavy Metal Hamsters enter chat!
Entering on wheelchairs, no doubt. Not so glorious now, our future life.
the rollerblade wheelchairs with reflector stripes for long exposure photography fancy.
you might as well go to WF and buy more 'cleaner" candy, also prime members get discounted on certain halloween candy.(i would still wait til your closer to halloween, since its not that much discounted right now), also employees get extra discounted on top of the prime ones(recent changes). funny thing its somewhat cheaper too.
Baking cookies from scratch is easy and cheap. Here's NASA's recipe: https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/sunspot-cookies/en/
American pricing be like.
What the hell is up with these prices?
it's what happens when you elect economic geniuses
it's called ecofascism and you're gonna love what comes next.
What kind of BS is that?
"Ecofascism is "environmentalism through genocide", opined Klein. Political researcher Alex Amend defined ecofascist belief as "The devaluing of human life—particularly of populations seen as inferior—in order to protect the environment viewed as essential to White identity.""
Basically all the right wing nut bags that are popular now deny climate change. Trump even has his famous drill baby drill bit
You'd be paying about $150 for a bag that size in Australia. Halloween - that special month of the year when confectionary prices triple. Mendelez and Nestle strangling the goose before it even arrives...
I like a couple of years ago they tried going "aspirational" - 200g bags of florentines and dried fruit for $35 - super Jeremy ! 95% of it ended up being fed to hogs...
Trick or Candy mortgage!
Odd that products made and packaged in the US, from government subsidized corn syrup, and not the most affected by tarrifs, still jump in price. Maybe inflation will be the scariest thing this Halloween
This is not odd at all. Competitors prices are now (say) 30% higher, everyone else can raise 29%.
A majority of Hershey products have been made in Mexico for some time! It was "somehow" cheaper - possibly in part to tricklin' down trade agreements - to ship the ingredients there and then send the finished product back. As much a "fun" fact as the "fun-sized" candy. Even the JustBorne/The Peeps peoples of Pennsylvania manufacture a bunch in Canada.
Jesus fuck. Almost $30 for those big bags?
I am definitely going to WinCo and getting 5 pounds of peanut butter cups. They're only ~$2 or 3/pound from the bulk bins!
They're not Reese's but they are just as good.
WinCo FTW. Love that place.
Get ready to see lots of posts marveling at how expensive common things are getting in the US
Almost as if the currency is in the toilet.
I'll start: Ribeyes were over $20 each the other day.
Is this USD or?
That was my same thought. I feel like this is maybe disingenuous.
Other places that don't use USD can still complain about overpriced goods. Collapse already so the rest of the world can get on with our lives.
