Fannie May outlet sale/no sale

It’s confusing.  I called the Fannie May outlet in Melrose Park to learn if they were going to run that fantastic warehouse sale again this year (it was right about now).  Turns out that the sale wasn’t run by Fannie May at all, but by Design Pac, a company in the same building that makes gift baskets, etc. (which explains all the jars of olives and things).  Apparently Fannie May put out a bunch of their overstocks, etc. and the sales were so fantastic that they’re considering doing it again.  As for now, while the outlet prices are much better than the retail stores (Colonial Assortment is $5.99 a pound and what, $22.99? a pound at the retail level), Jewel frequently has this stuff on BOGO, which is still not as cheap as the outlet, but if you drive to Melrose Park you not only spend the gas and time, but you will be buying a hell of a lot more candy to justify the time and gas money spent getting there!  Oh, like you won’t!
