64 cents a bag, so how could I refuse? This will last me for months! All chocolate--M&M's; Reese's and York. I plan on cutting down on sweets as a new year's resolution (great start, huh?), so if I only have a little at a time, this will last me half the year!!:9

1. Mmmm, M&M's, Reese's (heaven's candy!)
and York, three of my favorites. Can I come over and have some? :evilgrin:

And what are you going to do when you start bouncing off the walls in a sugar high?

19. Twenty bags--I found that in the Farner's Almanac!
I guess even 15 bags is a shitload, according to those wise sages!

22. Yup, I need to lose 10 pounds!
If I can just have a little each day--I don't think I can cut out chocolate altogether, but if I cut down, I should be able to drop those pounds!

Anyway, I couldn't pass up such a deal!

26. I had a slight one earlier...didn't really eat that much.
But it's sooooooooooo comforting to know that there's so much, and soooooooooooooo close!

24. Candy shopping tip
Sometimes Staples and Office Depot have deep discounts on their big "office size" candy tins. My friend in NY made out like a bandit last Jan.!
