JACKSON, Wyo. — Those who have waited until the last minute to buy Easter goodies might have made a good choice. Easter candy aisles at Jackson’s major stores are thinning out ahead of the holiday, but prices are dropping along with availability.
We’ve compared the prices of classic Easter candies at Jackson’s largest grocery stores: Albertsons, Smith’s, Target and Whole Foods.
A note on Whole Foods: Whole Foods had a smaller Easter selection than the other stores, but it did have some health-focused options. Its unique offerings are not comparable to the offerings at Albies, Smith’s and Target, so we’ve left it off of the chart.
Here’s what we found at the other three:
| Item | Albertsons | Smith’s | Target |
| Brach’s Jelly Beans (14 oz) | $3.49 | $3.49 | $3.69 (buy one, get one 50% off deal through March 30) |
| Cadbury Creme Eggs (pack of four) | $4.99 | $3.99 | $4.49 |
| Lindt Gold Chocolate Bunny (3.5 oz) | $4.49 (buy two, get one free deal through March 31) | $4.49 | $4.49 |
