angelenos note: bulk candy

yesterday, i headed over to garvey nut & candy in pico rivera to pick up bulk candy for a construction themed kid's party next week (my Godson, the boy wonder, is turning 2!).  initially, i was planning to order the candy online, but my cousin had suggested garvey via her friend.  if you live in and around los angeles and are in need of bulk sweets, garvey nut & candy is your savior!  Do not buy online! why? because i dared to compare prices between Garvey and the online retailer candy warehouse to see if there was any price difference, and i was shocked!

sour lemon drops (7.5 lb)- Garvey $11.40 vs. CW $28.50
haribo happy cola bottles (5 lb)- Garvey $9.35 vs. CW $19.50
trolli gummi peachie-o's (4 lb)- Garvey $6.37 vs. CW $12.00
milk chocolate almonds (5 lb)- Garvey $19.36 vs. CW $69.50 for 10 lbs.(!)

even without shipping (which would've been brutal since these bags are heavy), i would've paid double if i bought candy online.
