C'mon, how many shekels did you save not eating chocolate?
A lot, actually. I'd have to buy it for the entire family, plus of.course chocolate is more expensive in the date when everybody else is buying it. So I decided to outjew the Jews this time.

Nonsense. Regular items aren't marked up for Easter and the Easter stuff is especially cheap right now to get rid of it. There's no better time to cheaply get good quality chocolate than now or after Christmas.

There's good stuff as well. If it's Easter-themed it's reduced price.

Like Kugel said and like I said before, no it isn't. Easter eggs are barely more expensive than regular chocolate and, like Kugel said, you can get them on clearance now because they need to sell off all the unsold Easter eggs

Yeah, no shit AFTER Easter the chocolate eggs get marked down. But right before it? They go up in price. Same thing with fish for Good Friday - too many people desperately buying the same stuff that they usually never buy.

Do you have chocolate eggs all year round? I've worked in retail for over 16 years and never once have I seen shelf prices for chocolate, no matter what shape, go up towards Easter. That's not how it works. You have no true supply/demand effect when you have a few dozen competitors in close range that all try to undercut you.

The only difference is around Easter stuff like Paas and Cadbury's go on shelves and all the normal chocolates like M&Ms get pastel colored.
