I wonder how Target can keep the regular candies so cheap while other places, CVS, Von’s, etc charge a 1.00 or more. 25, and still are in most places, and between. I started remembering when I was 10, in 1990, getting change from my mom to buy candy. After we got home I went to throw away the receipt and saw the candy bar only cost. The candy section was right there, of course, so we grabbed a 3 musketeers. I was standing in line with my daughter, at Target, and we were both hungry. Help me and my friend jody need help[ finding candy prices from 1999 for a school project!Įmail me the candy items or other info and I’ll see what I can do. You may not always be able to know 15 years or more off the price but its nice when you do. I also remember in the mid 1990s buying candy on sale at 4 for $1, that’s also a retail value of about 15 year prior. In May of 2009 I bought my specially marked candy bars “2 for $1” (Butterfinger and Baby Ruth), it was nice because I was really paying the retail value of 14 years ago. You can always buy wholesale, in bulk, on sale or use coupons. However, you don’t always have to pay retail. The retail price of candy must always rise with inflation, this is a given. YearsĪ look at the future price index at the current inclining inflation rate (2.6% rate), amounts are estimated So the prices shown are the average price over the entire 5 year periods. I charted it on a 5 year period instead of an even 10 years since that time span is to long and inflation rates fluctuate yearly. Premium candy bars haven’t been around a long time and can cost twice as much as a common candy bar. I did some research and came up with a chart that are estimates based on a standard size common/non-premium US candy bar. Thus, making the candy bar cost the same to make and the manufacture doesn’t have to change their prices. Instead of going up on the price, you can go down on its size, making your manufacturing costs cheaper by volume. Why candy bar size wavers up and down I assume is based on just another way to counter act inflation rates. I know that with inflation rates candy would continually go up and never down however I thought the size of the candy bars would waver up and down. I was wondering how candy bars prices and sizes changed over the years. I'm a candy collector collecting old candy wrappers to build my vintage candy wrapper collection for all to view.
