Less boo for your buck: For the second Halloween in a row, US candy inflation hits double digits

Associated Press  

Spooked by the high price of Halloween candy? Numerator, a market research firm, said its surveys show about one-third of U.S. consumers plan to trade down to value or store brands when buying candy for trick-or-treaters this year. “There may be no price relief in sight, at least through the first half of 2024,” said Dan Sadler, principal of client insights for Circana, a market research firm. “We know that value and affordability continue to be top-of-the-line for consumers as budgets are stretched,” Hershey’s President and CEO Michele Buck said Thursday on a conference call with investors. Buck said Hershey is trying to meet consumers’ needs with offerings in value stores and pack sizes at various price points.
