Price of Chocolate

We’re all dealing with inflation (and a host of other things) but I found a tiny silver lining today. I have been battling my sugar addiction forever, but in a serious life-or-death mode since March.

I realized why grocery shopping today that my frugal nature kicks into overdrive at certain price increases and candy is currently out-of-sight price-wise. Which protects me from myself because it’s so easy to keep walking when a large bag of M&Ms is $10+. The image below is for the smallest “fun size”.

I did read yesterday that Hershey’s is saying they can’t meet the fall demand for candy that is Halloween in the USA. They are managing normal everyday supply, but their seasonal lines are just not up and running yet. So I might even be able to skip “Half-price candy day” Nov 1st.

It’s easier to avoid sugar when I have been priced out of the casual chocolate market.

Left brain, right brain - I use them both depending on the project. I've managed sales, operations, big ventures and tiny ones. If I'm interested, I am all-in. But I might be reading, cruising, writing, road-tripping, or drawing pictures with a grand or great-grandchild instead.
