Buyer's tips for candy canes

Compare the price per ounce, not the box price or the cane count. A count of 12 can be a light box of minis or a heavier box of full-size canes.
Read the net weight. Prefer listings that state ounces or pounds. A title with only a piece count is a weak comparison.
Mini canes and full-size canes are different. Minis fill a bowl or a mug. Full-size canes hang on a tree. Compare within the size you need.
Plain peppermint is the standard. Fruit and mixed flavors often cost more per ounce, so check the flavor before you call a higher price per ounce a worse deal.
Buy in November and early December. Compare the price per ounce on bags that are in stock, before the popular packs sell through.
