Ironically, the spud is absurdly more expensive than giving candy.

It is like a dollar each, but the smiles on kids faces as they walk home with the beginnings of a stew are priceless
A dollar each? It's $3.50 for a 10lb bag here
What could a potato cost, 10 dollars?
I just pulled up the [Department Store] app I have on my phone and looked at the individual prices, it says $0.82 each
I'm gonna be honest, I could not possibly tell you how much a potato weighs, so I have no idea how many potatoes come in the $3.27 5 lbs bag
Yeah, same here, and even that's high. I know you can get deals where you can get 2 of those bags for like $5. It's one of the cheapest vegetables you can get. Definitely a great food to buy if you're not doing too well financially. Cheap, nutritious, filling, and tons of recipes.
For comparison I got my Halloween bag of candy at Costco for $20 bucks... candy is ridiculously expensive.
No way that can be true, how much for a kg of potatoes where you live
In the Philippines they're around 4$/kg where I live, and they're not even really nice potatoes.
I need to check my potato privilege. They're less than 1โฌ/kg here
Yeah but the kid question also apparently got a Snickers bar. So their taste is somewhat debatable.
I'd choose the potato as well but that's because I'm an adult and really don't care about candy
But Snickers is the manliest chocolate bar because it has nuts.
"Am I a joke to you?!"
-Payday
Sorry but I don't get that reference
Payday is a candy bar covered in peanuts.
Just to ruin the joke I will be the one to point out peanuts are legumes, not nuts.

I've never seen them in my country.

I mean... testicles aren't nuts either, they're just called nuts.
Is this Russian halloween?
Is dream. Potato is rock.
They should have IOU as an option, they use this IOU to claim more chocolate next holloween. Teaching kids finance while there at it.
That's great until a few years down the line some kid shows up with a fat stack of them and cleans you of all the candy.
