You'd be paying about $150 for a bag that size in Australia. Halloween - that special month of the year when confectionary prices triple. Mendelez and Nestle strangling the goose before it even arrives...

I like a couple of years ago they tried going "aspirational" - 200g bags of florentines and dried fruit for $35 - super Jeremy ! 95% of it ended up being fed to hogs...

We stopped giving out candy and instead do chips, juice, gummies, cracker packs, etc. The cost is roughly the same, he kids send to love it, and we don't want to be stuck with a bunch of leftover candy.

Always has been (in countries that do not celebrate Halloween). The prices of grave candles seem okay for now though.

We’re doing no candy too. These little birth control advertisements running around leave trash around on purpose and destroy property repeatedly in my neighborhood.

Their neglectful parents can buy them candy.
