Specifically an Almond Joy. I bought one earlier and paid the grand sum of Euro1.50 (about $1.70). ---

Anywhere from three for a dollar to $.75 at the grocery, $1.00 from a vending machine. If you buy a gift box you can get 36 bars for $19.95.[This](http://www.discountcandy.com/productpic/266.jpg) is what I think of when someone refers to a Hershey bar. ---

Honor Box at work - $.75 Wallgreens sale bin - 3/1.00 Fred Meyers - .55 This is for Mounds bars, though. Almond Joy bars are gross. And yes, I do consider that a factual answer, thankyouverymuch. ---

I thought Euros were meant to match the US dollar closer than that. ---

You people are paying too much! 😃 I can get 'em at the grocery store for 35/45 cents, depending on the kind. Convenience stores run sixty to seventy-five cents. (King size will set you back a buck.) Don’t feel bad, **Bryan.** We pay exorbitantly for “exotic” European chocolate. ---

Dollar store - three for a dollar. Grocery store - 45 cents. Convenience store - about 65 cents, give or take a dime. ---

An Almond Joy costs about 60 cents at the grocer’s here. But a Nestle Aero Bar, imported from the UK, costs US$1.00 at the same shop. ---

Anywhere from $0.33 to $0.55 at the grocery store. I don’t like Almond Joy, though – I prefer the plain Hershey chocolate bar. And I live about 15 miles from Hershey, so I get my chocolate cheap. 😛 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-is-a-hershey-bar/207425.md?page=2)
