It's the most significant single-year jump in price ever to occur (via Thrillist)
I'm sick of inflation. Everything—food, rent, clothes, plane tickets, gas—is more expensive. I am absolutely done with it. I am running out of money faster than usual. Now, to find out that the increase in goods has hit Halloween candy, I'll admit I've also lost my patience. The latest report from theThe bureau reports that the cost of candy has risen 13.1% since last year., it is the most significant single-year price jump ever.
. But now, I think the National Retail Federation produced too low of a sum. With a 13% price increase, are we sure $3.1 billion will cover the costs of all 50 states? Maybe this year, instead of handing out Reese's Cups and Twix bars, you can give each little Trick-or-Treater the gift of financial advice. With that state of the economy, it will serve the tiny ghosts and goblins better in the long run.
