Supplies of discounted Easter candy dangerously low

HUDSON COUNTY — A check of local pharmacies in Hoboken the day after Easter found that if you’re one of those folks who likes to stock up on half-priced cream eggs the next day, you should act fast.

Supplies at CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen’s and other stores seemed to be dwindling. Some stores didn’t even have signs saying the candy was discounted.

However, upon asking at Rite Aid, the worker did say the candies were 50 percent off. So ask away!
