I found some goodies for you candy lovers out there!

@MarieCoyle Nor am I!

@MarieCoyle Same here.

And of course, we all know someone who can eat copious quantities of candy or other high calorie foods and never gain an ounce. For the record, I am not one of those people!

He rarely asks for candy but the Nestle’s Crunch is a favorite of his!

I was rewarded with that smile I wanted. Thank you, Kayla.

@MarieCoyle You're quite welcome.

@MarieCoyle After holiday sales on candy are always good. While I was still at Walmart, I'd go down the candy aisle and pick up $20 or $30 worth of sale candy to take home. (Pretty never complained about me bring extra home, either.)

I know that before Easter, the candy was priced so high I was shocked. The Russel Stover chocolate bunny that was displayed today near that sale rack, was over $7 then. Today, it was 75 cents!!

@MarieCoyle You are a saint and I admit to being an addict.

@sallypup I’m no saint for sure. A few years ago, I got serious and lost the weight. I haven’t gained any of it back and I don’t ever want to. Yes, I try to eat healthy but I like treats just like everyone else does. After years of failing to lose, I learned to set a calorie limit for myself and do my very best to stick to it. I have a dessert now and then but I never want to go back to being overweight again, so that’s my story, haha!

I have 3 bags of Dove chocolates in my freezer that I was given for Valentine’s Day, so I wasn’t even tempted. But yes, a mind blowing price!

He did, Judy. It's been a hard week, so I was thankful for that smile, thanks.

@kareng I know that places like CVS and Walgreen's carry some groceries, but there is of course no fresh meats or produce, and the selection is extremely limited--and usually expensive. I always considered it more of a convenience for their customers than anything else. Hard to find a bargain in those places!

@MarieCoyle I agree. I thought it was wasteful and laziness myself. Her husband made good money and she made twice as I did, so they didn't have to pinch pennies, but OH SO WASTEFUL! This one was always late for work, took longer at lunches and left early a lot. She tried to push a lot of her work on to me and our supervisor found out and told her to straighten up or else. After she had her second baby, which was a few months later, she quit. It was so nice then without her there! However, our supervisor passed away and I got 2 witches in a row for a boss.

@kareng I used to hate it when others would expect me to do their work, and mine as well. I imagine you were very glad when she left!

People were snatching these up. When I paid for them, the clerk told me they had just put them all out about 20 minutes before, and as you can see, very few were left.

@MarieCoyle If the store will not sell those Easter eggs soon, they will do the same. The chocolate does not keep well in summer.

I would not had bought any at all but they were for him, so I bought him the one package. I was just surprised they sold it so cheap, as I have never seen markdowns like that, at least not in years.

@LadyDuck Honestly, some of our grocery stores turn the air conditioning on in March and leave it on...I have to leave a hoodie or sweater in the car all year round to keep so I can grab it for some of these stores that do that. So, so wasteful, and who wants to freeze while buying groceries? But I guess the chocolate will never melt in those places, either! Seriously though, no, chocolate doesn't keep as long as other candies do.

@MarieCoyle Tell him I love PEEPS, too.

Peeps are not really my favorite, but all of my kids loved them when they were little. I always buy one tiny package for Easter for the son that's here with me right now. They were his favorite as a kid, and he looks forward to his 3 little peeps on Easter Sunday.

@1creekgirl Once, he said he thinks they should make chocolate flavored Peeps, so that a person can drop them in their hot chocolate. I swear, this son of mine loves hot chocolate.

@MarieCoyle You are welcome.

He truly enjoyed his little candy bars. Thank you, George.

@MarieCoyle Good for you!!!

@LindaOHio It took me a long time to wake up and lose that weight, and I do like my smaller size. I just can’t go backwards now. Thank you, Linda.

I do like jelly beans. But...for the last several years, I have become a reader of labels, ingredients, and calories. I did contemplate getting one bag of jelly beans. OK, we know that when a person eats those, they eat them by the handful--never just one or two ! And each jelly bean was 14 calories. And I would have no doubt polished off the entire bag, not in one day but I just don't need all that sugar and calories, so I walked away from them. It's hard sometimes, but I don't ever want to go back to where I was in weight.

Most definitely!

@MarieCoyle i adored m&ms with peanut, so yummy!

@grenery8 I have tasted those, yes, they are good. I just don't buy them as I don't need to be eating them, LOL!

@Candybee

I would drop some off for you, but...it's just too far away!

@MarieCoyle don't worry ienjoy your treats

@MarieCoyle That must be so sweet and delicious! I will write it down so I can have closer look at the names of the candies at the grocery. I'm not good with names and there only few brands that I can remember, Toblerone and M&M and some local brands. Maybe we also have this Werther at the imported section.

Oh, yes...they are good, I know. But if I were to get them, I would be tempted to eat some...and I know I don't need them. If I am going to splurge on a sweet treat, I honestly would prefer a dessert over candy. But I know many love candy. My very favorite candy is Werther's. I don't know if you have it there. They make a soft version with a caramel center, a hard candy version, and a sugar free version that is coffee and caramel flavored, which is my favorite. I carry some in my handbag, as I get dry mouth often and it's not always convenient to carry water around, and I really do like those, but one is usually enough.

I only bought one bag of little Nestle's Crunch bars for my son. I don't need any...so I behaved, haha!
