What can you buy for 25 cents?

Not a whole lot.  Not a phone call, not a stamp-- but you can get a bag of candy the day after Halloween for 25 cents.

 My mom taught me always buy food on sale and when it is a good buy you stock up on it!  Mom, you will be proud of me today.  Look at this-- $300.00 of candy for only $18.00.
   No matter the size or kind they are 25 cents a bag.   I was at Safeway and happened on to this deal.  They need to clear out all the shelves for Christmas-today!  So they marked all the Halloween Candy to 25 cents and all us bargain shoppers were loading it up in our carts as fast as we could.  
Here is a look from the other side.  

So what am I going to do with it!  Hopefully not eat it all-- I made a promise to myself while waiting in line that I would have self-control.   I did think that this would be a good addition to my years supply of food.  They say you need stuff like this in times of stress.   I did fill one paper grocery bag for Operation Sam- goes to the troops.  The rest will become part of our food storage.  I am sure we will have no problem rotating through it.  Jordan likes to take a bag of candy on band trips to share with his friends.  Scott likes to take treats for his scouts.   At 25 cents a bag-- how could I go wrong.
Do you think this was a bargain or was I just a crazed shopper!
