Springfield, MO – As news spread of plentiful chocolate supplies left over from Valentines’ Day, stores have drastically reduced the price of sweets packaged in red and/or heart shaped containers beginning February 15th. Chocolates can now be found up to 50% off at most chocolate merchants around the area.
Local candy store owner Julie Sweet sees a sharp increase in chocolate purchases after the holiday, and attributes the increase to the lower prices she offers. “When I decrease the price of chocolates around February 15th, I sell more!” Ms. Sweet also notes the different clientele who come to shop for chocolates. “Around the 14th I mainly see married men or men with girlfriends come in for boxes of chocolates. On the 15th, I generally see single women and older bargain shoppers.”
Choco-holic and single woman Amy Hansen commented, “I am very much looking forward to Reduced Price Chocolate Day. I do most of my chocolate shopping for the year on February 15th. I get wonderful deals and stock up as much as I can.” When asked how she keeps chocolate good for a year, Amy described in detail her garage containing numerous freezers, refrigerators, and storage shelves.
Everyone is encouraged to go out, stimulate the economy, and celebrate Reduced Price Chocolate Day! Unless you are uber-popular like this reporter and have eight boxes of Russell Stovers’ Truffles already.
