This Saturday is the first of October, which means it’s time to start watching for the best deals on Halloween candy. A good price for “brand name” bags of fun size miniatures is $2 a bag, and $1.50 if you can combine with a coupon such as the “$1.50 off 3 bags of Mars brands” from Sunday’s RedPlum insert. Whoppers, Milk Duds, Twizzlers, Snickers, Milky Way and 3 Musketeers are all $2 at Kroger right now.

However, it’s important to know thyself. This buy-ahead strategy backfires you eat all the candy before Halloween!
