Happy Day Before Discounted Chocolate Day

[filkertom]

What are your favorite chocolate candies (assuming you can have them)? Mine are Ghirardelli's Milk Chocolate and Caramel Squares, Hershey's Kisses (regular, Caramel, or Cherry Cordial), Junior Mints, Mounds bars, and Hershey's Kissables. And Milky Way. Oh, my god, Milky Way.

Rite-Aid did a good job this year by having popular Easter candies at buy one, get one free, such that by last Saturday, their stock of Easter candy was down to bunny shapes, peeps and marshmellow eggs.
Kroger put their canday at 33% off by last Thursday. The stock at Tiny Kroger did not shrink much since it was put out on Feb 15th.
Looks like some stores are starting to look at real customer habits and the new economy. If 50% of the stock is around to go on sale at 50% off, they either were overcharging or ordered too much to start with. If they only get by with selling it at less than cost recovery, then profits need to come from elsewhere. Meanwhile, customers get no pre-holiday satisfaction of getting a deal and are probably peeved at seeing what they paid double for being sold after holiday for the price that makes it disappear.
But, yep, I'll be looking for bargains on Monday. Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs are on the list as one can be a satisfying desert or snack.
