Kroger has just launched its annual pre-Halloween candy sale, a great deal that typically starts the first week of October.

Kroger now has some of the lowest prices on bags of name brand candy in the region. 

From Oct. 3 through Oct. 16, customers can purchase assorted Hershey, Mars, Nestle and Wonka Fun Size (8.67-12 oz) candy bags for $1.99.

This is slightly higher than recent years, when the price often dropped to $1.88, but it is still a great deal.

But there's one small catch this year

To get the $1.99 price, shoppers must purchase at least four bags. That shouldn't present a problem to most shoppers, because most people don't buy only two bags of Halloween candy.

Also remember that the sale ends October 16th, two full weeks before Halloween. 

That means that procrastinators will end up paying more ... unless you are the type of procrastinator who waits to buy candy until after Halloween. Stores will give it away at half price or less on Nov. 1.

As always, don't waste your money.
