£25.20 for two boxes of boiled sweets. Who pays these extortionate prices?

Anybody who spends £33 on Veg for Christmas needs to take a look at themselves
My dad tells my mum every year, the shops reopen the day after Boxing DayDon't forget P&P on top.
I'd hope they were big boxes or very exceptional contents.
Edit - Just looked, less than 600g a box. Nothing unusual in them either. I'd say £1.50 or less per bag in most stores. Just a quick look, B&M £1.00 a bag, so £3.00 for the selection of three.
Just this week I have purchased a 1KG tub of Halloween spooky jelly mix from Lidl, £5.99 and a 1.3KG spaghetti jar made by Jelly Bean Factory, anything up to £20 normally and I paid under £7.
I assume plenty must buy overpriced Christmas foods & snacks, the shop are always well stocked with it. We have been conditioned to think we must have this, that and t'other during the festivities.
The trouble is that they often remove other food lines to make space, reducing choice for anyone looking to buy regular items.
