I am sad. I can’t find any leftover Cadbury creame eggs anywhere ☹

Jelly beans! I love chocolate but I can get that any time. Good Starburst jellybeans only come once a year. I got six bags at a buck each on Monday. Two are my superduper absolute favoritest, the “fave reds” variety.

We spend way way WAY too much time thinking about this - we save coupons, nay we HOARD coupons, then go the day after Easter. We have about a metric ton of Reese’s eggs right now. The packages were (if I recall correctly) on sale for 4 for $5 then we had several coupons for $1 off of 3, so we got, I believe, 16 packages for some stupidly low price I can’t remember. (I don’t do math. My husband does math but he’s in the shower right now so can’t chime in with the correct answer.)

I stock up on my little sinful things after Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day and Easter. Now it’s a long drought until the next discount time. Cheap Thrills.

I still have some leftover Halloween candy.

From 2011.
