Hey everyone, I meant to post this last week, but I forgot until I just came across this photo on my cell phone. Halloween candy is out in stores here in my area. Has it hit your stores yet? This photo was snapped at Dollar General. they have a good supply for this location, which is tucked away on a rural highway. They had a ton of Valentine's Day candy left over and it was reduced to as low at $.15 a bag. I'll keep my eye out on this supply and see if it also doesn't sell. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Mine is Butterfingers Snack Size. Photo Credit: My Own

I don't see a pic. I don't go into stores; so I don't know. I would imagine that they are all stocked for Halloween already. They hope you will buy candy now, eat it and have to buy more. I like candy corn and chocolate. My favorite candy is jelly beans; but that's not until Easter.

I had to revise the photo. It was too large. You are right on buying, eating, and having to go buy more! I wonder how many time the average person does that and has to restock? I like candy corn too! Probably my favorite out of the specific Halloween only candy!

@kareng I like the harvest mix even better. Chocolate, maple, banana flavors in cats, pumpkins, etc. shapes.

Halloween seems to get bigger here each year but it was never a 'thing' when I was a kid.

Isn't that odd? I wonder why it is like that?

@JudyEv That makes sense. Halloween is so different now days here from when I was a kid growing up. It was always a fun family adventure back then and now you have to be on alert for razors and things in all the candy the kids are given. It's very sad.

@kareng Why we didn't have it? It (and Valentine's Day) were imported from America I think. We were quick to imitate the US back when I was growing up.

I don't see a pic, either. We don't usually celebrate Halloween with candies. But we do observe All Souls and All Saints Day during the early days of November.

The photo is up now. The original one was too large, so I edited it.

They put out the boxes of snack size chocolate bars in August every year, under the back to school sign. I cannot imagine parents sending those in their kid's lunches, but obviously they are.

A week or two before a holiday is too early to see candy for that holiday, in my opinion! Walmart stocking holiday candy months before the holidays killed my holiday spirits!

Yeah, every holiday starts too early in stores. It's crazy and shows the greed of these companies.

@wolfgirl569 We have several rows at our Walmart. I was in there again today. But it was also out there last week at our store.

It had started to appear here, yes. It’s crazy. I tend to like the tried and true tootsie rolls. I can’t see the picture yet.

I understand. You don't need a holiday to get candy. I'm sure you get some when you want it!

I noticed a display of Halloween candy at our local grocery store yesterday while I was there. Crazy how it's out so early. Do they really think people will buy it now and hold on to it until Halloween? I would eat it all after seeing it sit in my pantry for a day or two. Oh, wait....maybe that's what they're hoping people will do, so that they will have to come back and buy more!

Yes, that is exactly what they want--for you to eat it all and have to come back and replace it all for another stash for Halloween!! It's all about sales!

I like KitKats too, but not Nerds. My oldest grandson used to be addicted to Nerds!!

Some stores started pushing the Halloween decorations and candy in July here. Good grief! With chocolate so high in price already, buying endless bags of those little chocolate bars is going to get really expensive, really fast!!

@MarieCoyle Right! The good candy will dwindle down again. I remember doing that when my kids were smaller and we realized that we didn't even know most of the kids coming to our house. I would make bags for the kids we knew were coming and leave them inside for them so the other kids did not see them or know about them.

@kareng With prices what they are now for chocolate, I would think many will not be buying those little chocolate bars to give away--but hey, I've been wrong before!
