      I normally do full sized bars considering how many people we get on average. I normally buy them at Costco Business and it looks like they’re still priced the same. Prices at regular Costco are similar to what I remember of last year too.

      We probably make most of our chocolate here. In the area around where I work there are at least 4 Mondelez plants. I know Mars has a few plants in or around the GTA as well.

      I mean… Those look like normal Canadian prices.

      However, contextually, that stuff in Canada is actually chocolate and many US versions have little to no cocoa, and oils instead of milk ingredients. So its a rip off because its not even chocolate.

      Considering global coffee and chocolate prices, I’m surprised. Are sizes the same as last year?

        Just go for flour/sugar based snacks instead of chocolate then. Few packs of Aldi version of hobnobs, job done.
