Be Prepared For A Valentine’s Day Candy Shortage
Grabbing last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts may not work out this year thanks to a candy shortage.
Valentine’s Day is coming up and experts warn supply chain issues could put a damper on the holiday. A perfect storm of bad weather and a global glass vase and flower shortage is hitting florists at just the wrong time. And if you do get those flowers, expect to pay more.
Not only that but there’s a candy shortage. That’s why Hershey has stepped up production to try and fill up store shelves.
Rising inflation means the price of a dozen roses has increased 22-percent from last year. Numbers compiled by the personal finance site “The Balance” shows the price of a 12-ounce box of chocolates up nine percent from 2021 and if it’s a romantic meal you’re planning, the price of a premium steak is up a whopping 154-percent.
Valentine’s Day is one week away. If you’re needing some music for a romantic playlist, we have you covered!
