Holy smokes! Candy got expensive AF. (TikTok screencap)

Picture of candy packages in a store advertised for $24-29 each with the caption “Porch light will be off this year“

    I've been a full size candy bar house for a while. Buying bulk candy bars spiked in 2021. Boxes usually average about $1.25 per bar, but you can find sales at Costco at $0.60 each if you aren't picky on exact candies.

    Non-candy options I sprinkle in that are hits are rice krispy treats, bags of microwave popcorn (unpopped) and the packaged 2 pack of cookies.

    You literally just have to do 5 seconds of planning and not buy from the top manufacturer 3 weeks before Halloween. Everyone is just looking for reasons to bitch with this rage bait.

    Shit is getting stupidly expensive. People are gonna bitch. You're gonna complain about them. I'm gonna make a comment about that because i can't help it. We're all fucked. Let the person air their grievance about overpriced candy. Fuck's sake 🫠

    Yes. I spent $20 last year. It's not hard.
