Halloween candy shopping still has a timing question: when do you fill the bowl? Dr Sylvain Charlebois puts numbers to the late chocolate discounts, giving you a reason to check the shelves again before the doorbell rings.
Those tiny fun-size bars make the price tag only part of the calculation. With fewer shrinkflation cases reported this year, what is happening to the cost of the treats themselves? Chocolate and the rest of the candy aisle deserve separate attention.
A Saturday Halloween also leaves room for another shopping trip. Is that extra time changing how people buy? Sylvain connects the markdowns with what retailers are seeing at the checkout, offering another way to read the sale signs.
