Do you have Big Lots or Ollie’s? I often spot holiday candy on Ollie’s shelves long past, months past the specific holiday. It’s not half off or (gasp) 75% off like the week after Valentine’s Day, but it’s at least 25% lower than the ticketed price. How good it is after that long is not a question I can answer. I buy only fresh chocolate for my wife and will fill a box with post holiday 50% off candy for my grandkids. And I never touch the stuff myself.
