      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.
