Tricks it is, then.
Get ready to see lots of posts marveling at how expensive common things are getting in the US
Thanks Obama!
Almost as if the currency is in the toilet.
I’ll start: Ribeyes were over $20 each the other day.
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.
TIL, thx for insight
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.
Winco is incredible. At first, I was annoyed at them not accepting credit cards. But after seeing the prices, and how credit card companies work, I understand it.
Things are higher quality/cheaper than Walmart, without the “Walmart tax” of cheating the manufacturer.
What the hell is up with these prices?
It’s just your typical Trump economy.
but what about the price of 3ggs!
The avian flu caused egg shortage? Also easily linked back to policies put in place by the GOP.
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
it’s called ecofascism and you’re gonna love what comes next.
…did you think “eco” meant “economy?” 😂🤣😂🤣
oh no…my fragile ego! my only weakness!
ecofascism
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
You don’t want to get known as the full bar house unless you wanna spend $500 bucks a year on candy at minimum
Mini bags at Costco tend to run $0.25 or less a piece
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.
“The most opportune time to buy halloween candy is when its 90% off november 1st of last year, the second best time is now” - Sun Tzu
American pricing be like.
This can’t be real. Someone please confirm?
-(sent from the UK)
Its real. Its price gouging as only walmart can do it.
Confirmed. Same price on my Walmart app.
I think everyone should collectively decide to hold Halloween 2 days after Halloween so everyone can get in on that reduced price candy.
Takes the sting out of inflation a little bit and everyone still gets their good time in.
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.
They all look like from same brand that probably wants to have a 500% profit margins from reporpusing sugar
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.
Trick or Candy mortgage!
People who have afforded to buy their neighbors candy in the past have always been awesome people.
I am not one of those people.
