We don't have enough kids in my neighborhood to justify buying candy
Neither do we, but I still buy it, pretend we do, then eat the bag over the night!

American pricing be like.
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.

IKEA has full size bars for a dollar each. I think 30 of those would be better than a bag of small candies for $30

This can't be real. Someone please confirm?

Its real. Its price gouging as only walmart can do it.
Confirmed. Same price on my Walmart app.
People who have afforded to buy their neighbors candy in the past have always been awesome people.
I am not one of those people.
Candy canes for my house again. They remain cheap. You just have to wait for this stuff to sell and they put out the Christmas stuff.
Do you get many trick-or-treaters in November?
They sell it starting about October 29th. I’ve done it before.
Exactly why I haven’t done it in a couple of years. I hate it, cause I love this holiday. But get fucked with these prices. Maybe this is all the winning.
Learn how to bake the awesomest shortbread you can, & wrap some of that edible-gold up in wax-paper for each kid.
Flour, cornstarch, oats, butter, salt, do not add-up to the extortion-prices charged by the flavored-sugar-in-plastic-wrappers companies.
