LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Halloween is almost here, and if you went out to buy candy over the weekend, you may have been shocked by the price!
There is a reason why those bags are costing more this year.
An owner of a popular chocolate company said cocoa prices have nearly doubled in 2024 due to droughts in Africa, making it harder to get.
Now you might like to hand out chocolate favorites on your street, but you can really save some money this year if you mix in some non-chocolate candies as well, like Skittles and Starbursts.
Some stores are offering member discounts, so you may get lucky by saving a buck or two.
Mix in some packs of non-chocolate candy along with the chocolate favorites, that way you don't waste your money.
