4. Not so fast, Phoenix61

Don't discount the possibility that the material in your pants may have been reduced by about 20% as well, making your waistline feel bigger!

3. I believe it! In our household, we used to get a hodgepodge of candies just to have around the

house for snacking purposes.

Here's where these candy makers hurt themselves. Guess what? We buy no more candy. It's not worth it. So, from usually $10-$20 bucks worth of candies a month to zero! A fine investment, eh, on the part of these candy manufacturers?

We need to all start combating these manufacturers and retailers who short-change us on our portion sizes (and raise the prices while at it too). Inflation has only gone up so much, not so much so to justify the price increases and the reduction in candy sizes.

When is enough money, enough?

6. Way back about twenty years ago...

I made up a rule for myself regarding candy. I had just spent a large amount of money on dental bills so I decided I couldn't have candy anymore. It's worked for the most part. Included in the rule was that if I did break the rule, it had to be something really special and handmade, no corporate candy!

I can have cake, pie and ice cream when I want sweets, other than that, fruit.

I have never been well off financially so paying into this kind of rip-off is just not in my budget.

8. I rarely eat it...

Don't like it all that much, but once in a while I want it. It's actually the name of a long ago cat.

9. Sometimes I wonder if candy makers break even from Halloween and Easter and everything else is

candy-gravy.

10. FYI. It ain't just snacks.
