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...

Exactly why I haven’t done it in a couple of years. I hate it, cause I love this holiday. But get fucked with these prices. Maybe this is all the winning.

Candy canes for my house again. They remain cheap. You just have to wait for this stuff to sell and they put out the Christmas stuff.

Do you get many trick-or-treaters in November?
