The biggest expense of a candy buffet happens to be the candy itself. Most of you already knew that! However, unless you are constantly out looking for candy in large quantities it’s hard to estimate just how expensive your candy buffet is going to be. So the best tip I can give you is to stock up ahead of time! Following holiday is the best time to get candy. Places like Walgreens, Walmart, or your local convenience store are likely to have candy at 50% off, if not more!
If your wedding or event is in early spring, go to the after- Valentine sale for heart shaped candies. If your wedding is later in spring, shop at the after –Easter event for pastel colors and flowery shapes. Online candy stores will typically not sell discounted candies, so hurrying to the clearance event of the season locally could be worth the trip! This tip could be useful for do-it-yourself decorators as well. You can purchase discounted merchandise for your event, along with the candy at local shops.
Unlike decorations, candy does have an expiration date. Be sure to plan out how far in advance you are able to buy the candy for your event. Chocolate is a candy with a fast expiration date, whereas gummy bears and mints have a longer shelf life. Check it out before buying large quantities of candy that will taste bland or have gone bad in the months prior to your event!
