candy

living on a small budget, i've had to make a few sacrifices.  one is having to cut back on candy.  luckily, at least here in the u.s., companies like the mars candy company, make holiday specific packaging which means that once that holiday has passed, stores like walmart have to mark down the prices, usually 50%.  so today i went to walmart in the morning as there is usually nothing left if you go later.  there were only a few things from all the discounted candy that i liked from what was left, one of which is the fun size york peppermint paddies.  they were $1.24 for an 11 ounce bag after the discount.  i wanted to buy 3 bags but decided on two.

one of the things i saw there though were other customers filling their cart halfway with candy.  really?  they can't wait two months for the next holiday sale?
