As Easter approaches, chocolate lovers are facing a bittersweet reality—chocolate prices have climbed a striking 14% this year! While that might deter some, savvy shoppers can find incredible deals at local drug stores. WINK News anchors Corey Lazar and Taylor Petras took to the aisles to uncover some candy bargains that could turn frowns upside down.
CVS is leading the charge with a delightful 25% off on all candy, making it your go-to stop for chocolatey treats. Not to be outdone, Walgreens has a tempting buy-one-get-one deal on Reese’s Eggs along with other sweet offers, like buy one, get one half off on Stover bunnies and a eye-popping “buy five, get five free” deal on Cadbury Eggs.
If you’re looking to hit the big retailers, Target and Walmart aren’t sitting idle either. At Target, you can grab a six-pack of Reese’s Eggs for $6.29, whereas Walmart offers them for nearly $6. Hershey’s chocolate eggs are priced at $5.29 at Target and $4.97 at Walmart, while Cadbury Eggs can be snagged for $1.49 and $1.24, respectively.
With rising prices, it’s heartening to know that over half of millennials are still planning to indulge in their Easter traditions, even if it means hunting for deals. So, before you fill up that basket, make sure you check out those sales. After all, happy hunting leads to happy munching!
