For the last several years at Hallowe&...Hi Belinda,<br />For the last several years at Hallowe'en, trick or treat candy has been at it's lowest price in late September, in my area, a full month before Hallowe'en. I think the manufacturers believe that we'll buy a bunch of over-priced miniature candy bars, thinking we'll save it for the holiday. Then wind up eating it all long before, and have to re-buy at the higher "sale" price. I understand that it's just all business, but still I often feel duped, and don't like that at all.<br /><br />I understand what you mean about your dryer. I am hoping ours lasts another decade. It's 22 years old now, and still doing okay. We bought the pair just before washers and dryers became poorly made, and so thankful of it. These sort of durable hard goods should be just that, "durable." It's so disappointing when you buy something and it doesn't last as long as it should. And then when you go to have it repaired, the repair cost is more than buying a new cheap one. It's maddening. I'll be hoping your dryer and mine last a good, long while.<br /><br />Have a great day, Belinda!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-16373824145460752562017-05-03T08:05:59.842-07:002017-05-03T08:05:59.842-07:00Hi Kris,

Thanks for saying that about the ice cream deals. I wondered if my "great" price would have sounded not so great to others. I've already been "suggesting" that we not eat one of the pails, the vanilla, and save it for the fall, to top pie on Thanksgiving, for my son's and fiancee's birthday, and to go with cake or in cream puffs near Christmas. I think 3 pails would be a lot of ice cream, so maybe one held back won't be difficult.<br />Have a great day, Kris!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-54672292402106109822017-05-03T08:03:56.517-07:002017-05-03T08:03:56.517-07:00I noticed the very same thing with the Easter eggs...I noticed the very same thing with the Easter eggs, Lili. I'm sure they have some ulterior motive for doing this. Your guess about getting you hooked on the product then having to buy it at a higher price sounds spot on. I get so tired of the corporate greed. Just like the planned obsolescence they have nowadays. I said it before but, if my dryer goes out again I am not buying a new one, I am hanging clothes to dry from then on out. What kind of society have we become that we purposefully make things that don't last just so we can get more money out of people? It is just terrible. :(Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-16698945787091811472017-05-03T08:00:23.890-07:002017-05-03T08:00:23.890-07:00Hi Jen,

I also didn't notice any sales on butter in the week leading up to Easter (I as busy and had my head in projects, so it could have been on sale and I just didn't notice). I think we just need to be more watchful, and know our "buy" price.<br />Have a great day, Jen!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-70451458185102488852017-05-03T07:57:12.529-07:002017-05-03T07:57:12.529-07:00Hi live and learn,

Not only is it sneaky of manufacturers to down-size the package sizes, but it really makes it hard to compare prices. <br />Have a great day, live and learn.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-15170388845456529602017-05-03T07:36:57.686-07:002017-05-03T07:36:57.686-07:00I've noticed similar sales in our area for egg...I've noticed similar sales in our area for eggs. The funny thing is, this year we have continued to have eggs sales after Easter (for a couple of weeks, we could get eggs for 59 cents/dozen for large eggs). Also, some of our best "summer" food buys have been a couple of weeks before Memorial Day. I usually stock up on bratwurst in that time frame. I've never seen ice cream deals as great as yours were, though!Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-58112233502980619922017-05-03T05:16:31.478-07:002017-05-03T05:16:31.478-07:00Funny you should mention this, because I saw eggs ...Funny you should mention this, because I saw eggs at .39 dozen, after Easter.
