Whats up with the expensive candy?

Even Halloween candy can't hide from inflation

Here's how much the price of popular Halloween candies went up this year

Halloween candy costs more this year — but most of us will likely pay up rather than go without our treats.

Why it matters: Soaring inflation and supply chain wrinkles have come for even the sweetest parts of life.

The big picture: Spending on Halloween surged over the past decade, as consumers simply got way more into the holiday — buying $300+ giant skeletons and other spooky stuff to deck out their homes, plus the typical loads of candy that you swear you're going to save for trick-or-treaters.

• Halloween is the biggest season for candy sales — more than Easter or Christmas. "It's our Superbowl," an industry executive told CNBC a few years ago.

State of play: Planned household spending for Halloween fell this year to $100.45 billion, compared to $102.74 billion in 2021, according to the National Retail Foundation's Halloween Spending Survey. In 2019, the number was just $86.27 billion.

Prices for most treats surged this season fairly in line with inflation for overall food, but Skittles and Starburst prices jumped way more — up 42% and 35% from last year, respectively — according to analysis from Datasembly.

• To get their numbers, Datasembly scraped price information across the web and looked at the price of candy sold by retailers, who operate both online and in-store.

The delicious intrigue: Skittles and Starburst are cheaper than others on the list, including Snickers and Peanut Butter Cups.

• Relatively small price increases, on a dollar basis, look huge when measuring in percentage points.
• Meanwhile, Starburst's supply chain is vulnerable to the vagaries of hurricane season, according to a blog post from IBM. It's possible there are weather impacts here, too.
• Axios has reached out to Mars Wrigley, which makes both candies, for comment.

The bottom line: Halloween candy is delicious and relatively inexpensive, despite inflation. Happy Halloween!

How should he crack down on all the greedy companies?

It couldn't have anything to do with the $11 trillion in stimulus we had poured into the economy, or the fact global supply chains buckled from the post-lockdown demand, setting the dominoes in motion.

It all just happened all over the world the minute Biden was sworn in.



And let's not forget:

Trump calls on Fed to cut rates by 1% and urges more quantitative easing

In a two-part tweet, the president says more easing would make the economy "go up like a rocket."

The night of the confiscation what was called an election the oil futures went up big time. The day of his installation the Executive Orders he signed went up to the ceiling of the oval office. they had to cut a hole in it for all what he signed.

He's got worse inflation than Carter.
Why is he so bad?

 

[Moonglow]

because Trump shut down the US and production stopped.

Capitalists fucking yous over but you want to blame the guy who isn't in the business.

The Capitalists you say if built every product here would you pay for it? Everything American made. With a good salary and benefits for all. What would that do to the Federal, State, Local and City budgets that taxes people at high rates also? For all of the social welfare programs and government employees and the private side that services all of this. then there are the corrupted unions that have put a strait jacket on local communities but pay the employees a good wage and benefits while the poverty slowly increases. So paying a thousand dollars for a TV you spend a hundred dollars for now is okay.

 

[White 6]

what has he done to curb inflation ?

Doesn't matter whether he caused it or just stuck and with no control to affect it. He's sitting or sh*tting in "the big chair", so it's his. If it does not change, it will be remembered as "the Biden economy" and "Biden's Inflation". Everybody remembers Jimmy Carter's inflationary economy and he didn't cause it either, but had to own it. Eh, tough luck, Joe.

Yeah, but enough informed voters should be smart enough to know the difference.

Why is Biden too stupid to restart things?
It's been 21 months.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, but enough informed voters should be smart enough to know the difference.

The informed voters and the dumb voters are voting against Dems this cycle.

How many Senate seats are the Dems gonna lose?

Come on, Lakhota. I know you and like you, but got to be real. We are 8 days from mid-terms and in the most partisan atmosphere, we've seen in my 68 years. I am not sure there are enough rational informed voters on both sides to fill up a cruise ship. If the inflation rate does not change, the Republicans will hang it around Joe's neck like a rotting dead chicken, maybe the Democrats too, for the 2024 if they can find somebody better than that California dipshit Governor to run.
