Valentine's Day has come and gone. It is a a holiday that is a bit of chore if you are man, and free gifts if you are a woman. Putting that aside, it is another holiday where hoards of overpriced novelties are made available before hand and sold incredibly cheaply afterward. That is the great part of most of the worst holidays, the very cheap candy one can find the day after. Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, all horrid waste of time, but the day after each of them one can find high quality candies and chocolate at rock bottom prices.
Now to get the best stuff you will need to get to the store early, when they open if possible. You then need to sprint to holiday section, and be ready to push old women out of the way. You aren't the only person here with a plan to get cheap chocolate, you may need to be ready to knock some people out. The best stuff will go quickly, and if you get there too late all you will fine are off brands, and the stuff no one wants in the first place. After you have found your prize, take it to the register and get ready to be shocked at how cheap everything has become after only one day.
A good haul will set you up for your candy need till at least the next holiday. Yes the candy will be themed to whatever holiday you got it after, but that is alright, after all Reese's peanut butter heart or egg tastes just as good as a peanut butter cup. You can use your hoard of holiday candy to confuse people, as no one expects a Milky Way Santa in June. If you have any small children you see regularly they will be very happy to get conversation hearts or marshmallow chicks weeks and months after the holidays they are made for.
Remember just because a holiday is a pain in the ass waste of time, it doesn't mean it is completely without charm. So after every holiday be ready to get needlessly violent in the name of saving a few dollars. It is fun, and profitable.
Yeah, I never really participate in any of these "holidays". Christmas, Valentine's, Father's/Mother's day, etc are just get rich quick schemes for companies. Although Christmas has it's perks the others are unbelievably unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteI hate them all. They're all just about money. :/
ReplyDeleteI do love the clearance candy prices. I hope the kids at halloween this year enjoy their easter egg and santa candy
