I have been watching a few items, and just saw another big price spike at Walmart.

Their own German-made chocolate bar, 3.52-oz (more than 2x a standard Hershey bar--1.55-oz). All prices shown are for the exact same bar (no weight changes).

Original price--$1.00 (2023).
Up a bit 2024---$1.12 to $1.17.
Start of 2025---$1.67 (chocolate demand up a lot and prices worldwide up about 50%).
New price(07/24)$2.44 (tariff-included price--up 46.10+% based on non-tariffed price).
