Chocolate prices to skyrocket

[debodun]

You can do your own research, but there's buzz about a cocoa bean shortage which is going to make chocolate prices increase dramatically. Happy Easter everyone!

Sooooo.... did you wake up this morning deciding "now how can I ruin Kate's day today?!" tsk tsk

Get your withdrawals over with now.

I'd rather fill the pantry with a year's supply.

There's that, too. I'm still mulling the choices over.

Uh oh... WTH... isn't everything going through the roof?

 

[Brookswood]

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse!!!

 

[Hackney]

Apparently it's all to do with the price of sugar. Higher fertiliser and energy costs making it more expensive to produce. Plus a big shortfall from India and Thailand, which have both been suffering from the effects of drought. Yep, stockpile those Easter eggs while you can

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I know!
I know!
It’s all got to do with Covid. Right.
I better get an Easter bunny

Still by far the cheapest way to consume chocolate and now even cheaper at $7.58 for 69 ounces.

Chocolate...good for you?

 

[hollydolly]

I have enough chocolate in this house to last a year....

 

[Georgiagranny]

Take my firstborn. Keep your paws off my chocolate! There's no price too high. Having said that, I'm gonna stock up on chocolate.

I like chocolate. I can do without it though. Sugar is another issue. But I don't buy in mass quantities so I'm OK. I discovered the bulk sugar at WINCO I only put on hot cereal.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Stock up on chocolate?
Yeahhhh!

Agreed. If I have it in the house, it's getting consumed.

Publix had Dove chocolate on BOGO sale (ending today). DD and I were in Publix this morning. I got six bags of Dove dark chocolate. Should last until day after tomorrow...

I buy bags of store brand mini chocolate morsels (like are used in making cookies). I like to throw a spoonful or two of them when I have a bowl of cereal. I just checked online for the store where I get them. The last time I bought any they were $2.49 a bag; they're now $5.39 with courtesy card ($5.99 without).

I love dark chocolate. I would buy a supply but it would not last long.

Silly girl! Of course it doesn't last long. We buy it to eat it. Once we eat it, it's gone. Geez, do we have to tell you everything?

@debodun You'd be better off buying Dove. Heckuva lot cheaper per oz.

I went to the Grocery Outlet months ago. They had these vegan cocoanut chocolate bars for 5/$1.00. They sell for over 2.00 at the health food store. I could have bought 20. I bought 1. I know they didn't last long on that shelf.
