The end of Cheap Chocolate Season begins today. This isn't my idea, it properly belongs to my friend Valerie (who I have lost track of), who coined the term way back in the previous millennium.
Cheap Chocolate Season begins on or around November 1st (the day they mark down Hallowe'en candy, sometimes that begins before Oct. 31), and ends some time after Easter when stores put away the chocolate bunnies and eggs. Notable highlights of Cheap Chocolate season are the week after Christmas and the week after Valentine's Day.
If you know of a store with sufficiently lazy clerks, presumably you could now find leftover chocolate Santas, hearts, and bunnies all on the same shelf this week.
