Seasonal candy is still too expensive


Easter, Easter Easter...

Surpasses even Christmas for good chocolate and candy.


I wish we had good candy store. Not Shoppers Drug Mart, or Superstore or Walmart (although I hate to say it, thank god we have those!)...but quality, you know? (I did find green Peeps. oooh)

I'm afraid if we took those big-box encroachers out of the picture, our food and necessities would skyrocket into the realm of $8 orange juice and $9 freezer burned steaks! (oh wait, that has happened. Sorry Dawson, haha!)

As it is, Easter chocolate at Superstore and Shoppers' is absurdly priced. For a basket of 4 Kinder Surprise Eggs, $4.99. A plastic egg of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, $8.99. A bag of mixed mini's ; Cadbury's creme eggs and caramel eggs--a shocking $8.99--yeah I couldn't believe it either. And you just know they won't go on sale afterward either...or wait, they might go down a *gasp* $.50 !!! OH, the deals!

A plastic jar of knock-off Eggies costs $12.00 at Shoppers. Highway robbery! It's not even glass.

Pathetic.

WWTEBD?

What Would The Easter Bunny Do?? Think of the Bunnies!!! (or me.)

Those cavities won't make themselves, you know!
