Candy prices near me just went up by over 30 percent
 There goes a few hundred jobs, 'cos I'm not paying $1.29 for a KitKat when it was $0.85 yesterday, and i know I'm not alone.

WTF are they thinking? Don't the candy manufacturers know their products are very price sensitive and NO ONE is getting a 30% increase in pay? I hope this is not a harbinger of doom for the rest of the convenience store products, because I already live on bread, peanut butter and candy... I got nowhere cheaper to go!

That DUmbass probably needs gasoline a lot worse than they need candy. But high gas prices are GOOD, right?

If you're shopping at a convenience store I have some good news!  There are ways to save you money.

God what an idiot.

I just bought 900 candy bars at Sams for an average price of $.43/each.  I'll sell the DUmmie all the candy bars it wants for $.85.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

Instead of reflecting on economics, they immediately fell into nanny-state squabbling about how sugar is bad for you, toxic really, and forget about HFCS.  Of course.

Candy prices should be high. Can you imagine the carbon footprint that making that candy bar must leave?
First of all its made in Mexico probably in a plant with no green regulations. Then you figure the carbon put out from trucking it to the distribution center. Then when it's shipped to the store that's another diesel burning monster that is being used.
Why do you hate the planet so much DUmmy? All you care about is your stupid kit kat, that according to Michelle you shouldn't be eating anyway you fatass. Go buy some organic grapes or something.

A 10 cent candy bar is now $1.39. Ain't socialism grand.

Well, DUmmie, if you weren't putting all that "corn" in your gas tank, maybe food prices wouldn't be so high.

Indeed. In related news, I propose that we change the name of the the cars 'fill tube' to 'cornhole'. Then we can just make it official - since we get cornholed every-time we fill the tank.

I have no idea what Kit Kat costs. If I want a bag of Kit Kats (or is it Kits Kat?), I will get them. But usually I get bags of Almond Joys. Or Peanut M&Ms. Or Snickers. Or Reese's Cups. Or Jelly Bellies. Did they go up, too?

Anyone ever order from Savannah Sweets? Their Pecan Pralines and White Chocolate Cashew Paws are deadly good. Mrs. dandi and I have to hit their store every time we go to St. Augustine or Savannah.

I'm also addicted to the Spicy Pineapple-Rum Sauce from pamperedchef.com. Poured over a block of cream cheese and dipped into with Ritz crackers. Good stuff. A bit pricey but great for special occasions.
