The Last of the Candy Season PurchasesI did a little more shopping this weekend and picked up some good deals since Easter goodies were now 75% off. Rite Aid (Hollywood) - only 50% off on Thursday night but I was stopping for batteries because the power was out Target (Burbank Empire Center): Walgreen’s (Echo Park): Long’s Drugs (Glendale) - this location is in the basement parking area of a shopping plaza. They had a WHOLE aisle of Easter goodies, all in good condition and with a pretty good selection. They had cases and cases of Mini Eggs left for any of those folks who live in the area The one thing I’ve found when shopping after holidays is you have to go where people aren’t planning on stocking up on candy. I know this seems like a weird thing to consider, but the Walgreen’s in Echo Park seems to be the best place for me to find a good selection even after the deeper discounts, while the one in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd was cleaned out on Monday. The Long’s in Glendale seemed to be the same way, excellent selection left (and still pretty neatly organized) and great prices. I was on the prowl for Lindt items, but I guess you have to get there early for those (or maybe they ship them out). Cost Plus World Market didn’t have a single candy item left and the Ralph’s and Von’s I stopped at also didn’t have any marked down candies - or perhaps they put them someplace I don’t go, like the meat department. I’m going to do a roundup review of those things that are new here.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Yeah, I found slim pickings too. Mainly Russell Stover rabbits (meh), the plain “speckled” M&Ms;, Brach’s “Chicks and Rabbits”, Lifesavers Eggs, Vanilla Creme and Orane Creme Kisses. I didn’t buy anything. :/
Have you tried the new Caramel Tootsie Pops yet? I just got some (had to get them off ebay since my searches have proved fruitless) and they are YUMMY!
Damn. No mention of speckled malt ball eggs. They’re all gone, from what I can tell. Maybe I can pick some up at Black Jack’s (or at least get info from that big board with all the news on it!).
I was at a CVS in Irvine yesterday and skimmed the Easter aisle in case anything jumped out…and oh! Russell Stover Coconut Nests!! They were 4 for a dollar (and I’m totally not ashamed to say I bought 8). I also picked up Skittles for $1, dark chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs for $1, and Reeses bunnies (I hope they’re similar to the pumpkins and Christmas trees). They didn’t have a whole lot left, but they just happened to have my favorites.
How fortuitous!
hi i am intrested in buying Twizzler Tweeterz can u please tell me where i can find them?!.
I just picked up a small box of Lidnt dessert collection truffles. They cost 1.25 for the box. I did go to Target in MI last week and they had a few things. We got some spring time M & M’s for 1.00.
