How much will people pony up for candy? That number is pegged at $3 billion. Yes, people are dropping $3 billion on candy for Easter.
For someone who hates sugar, I can’t fathom spending money on candy, and I damn sure can’t imagine spending $3 billion on sugary treats for a holiday.
As for the food for Easter events around the country, an estimated $6.3 billion will be spent, which makes a hell of a lot more sense than spending money on candy.
People are also expected to spend $3.6 billion on clothes and $3.7 billion on gifts. All the way around, people plan on throwing around a ton of cash this upcoming Easter.
Obviously, you have to have a ton of food, and I understand to a degree spending money for travel costs and gifts. However, spending a ton of money on candy and clothes for Easter makes no sense.
You don’t need candy and probably don’t need new clothes! Just open the closet!
