My most recent candy purchases were on the Monday after Easter. I sent myself (in the 1987 Chevrolet Sprint) to a few Family Dollar stores, because I did well there on the day after Xmas. Family Dollar was not as good this time. Pretty much the only item found {discounted} on the shelf was various packages of Reese's peanut butter 'eggs'.
[N.B.: At one Family Dollar there was a Walgreen's across the avenue from it. I explored, but swiftly exited. Not only because there was hardly anything being discounted - but the discount itself was only 25%. ]
But I did really well at an Aldi. This was not an Aldi I typically shop. It had bars of Choceur chocolate discounted. Including the six-packs of mini-size chocolate bars (both Dark and Milk), the standard large-size Dark and Milk chocolate bars, and Choceur peanut butter cups.
