Checked Costco.com and Hershey prices are up a lot. Almost $46/box of 36 of the standard 1.55oz candy bar. Up $8-$14 per box compared to last week. ~25% increase.

As long as we're discussing Costco, I bought one of their fresh-baked "all butter" pound cakes. I looked at it's weight and saw it was 1 pound 15 ounces. (for those in metric space, that's a 6% discount from a full two pounds).
So, I looked up why it was called a "pound cake" and the recipe calls for a pound each of flour, butter, eggs and sugar (for the diet of your choice :-), so this was actually displaying an inflation of over 100%.
