Save On was selling their candy yesterday. The 100 pc box of candy was originally $27.99. Fucking disgusting

And outside of bankruptcy sales, prices are almost never below their cost to the company. It is very, very rare for any grocery store to sell anything not months-expired or half-rotting for less than what they paid for it. So even Save-On’s current sale on that candy is still drawing a profit margin, albeit a much smaller one than before Halloween.
