Ironically, the spud is absurdly more expensive than giving candy.
It is like a dollar each, but the smiles on kids faces as they walk home with the beginnings of a stew are priceless
A dollar each? It's $3.50 for a 10lb bag here
What could a potato cost, 10 dollars?
Yeah, same here, and even that's high. I know you can get deals where you can get 2 of those bags for like $5. It's one of the cheapest vegetables you can get. Definitely a great food to buy if you're not doing too well financially. Cheap, nutritious, filling, and tons of recipes.
For comparison I got my Halloween bag of candy at Costco for $20 bucks... candy is ridiculously expensive.
I just pulled up the [Department Store] app I have on my phone and looked at the individual prices, it says $0.82 each
I'm gonna be honest, I could not possibly tell you how much a potato weighs, so I have no idea how many potatoes come in the $3.27 5 lbs bag
A standard russet potato is 148g(according to the nutritional information on a sack o' potatoes) , 5 lbs=2270g. 2270Γ·148=15.3. $3.27Γ·15.3 potatoes is 21 cents per tater.

What potatoes you buying are they gold encrusted?
Where I am you can basically get them by the crate load. I have no idea what one individual potato cost because I've never bought one individual potato. But my estimate would be about three for a dollar. Big ones like in the photo not little tiny ones.
Also don't get no ones in plastic wrapping they're more expensive and they're not any better. Just wash your vegetables. The mud and flavour admittedly it's mud flavour.
Why are wrapped in plastic? Don't they usually come in some sort of netting and or loose and you can get as many as you like in a cloth bag?
Usually the ones individually wrapped in plastic are being sold as microwaveable.
I guess we'll just ignore the fact that you don't need to wrap a potato in plastic to microwave it successfully.
In fact, you really shouldn't wrap your potato in plastic to microwave it. That's an awful idea.
That said, all potatoes are microwaveable anyway.

Bro, you hand me finger foods I'm gunna eat it on the way back, just ask for a little salt at each house you stop by.
No way that can be true, how much for a kg of potatoes where you live
In the Philippines they're around 4$/kg where I live, and they're not even really nice potatoes.
I need to check my potato privilege. They're less than 1β¬/kg here
Vegetables are oddly over priced there, in general.
Even most fruit. Mangos though... Mangos, rice, beer and rum. Everything you need!

This trick only works so long as only one house in the neighborhood does it.
Obligatory: Po-tay-toes! Boil βem, mash βem, stick βem in a stewβ¦
I have confirmed the results of this experiment. Some kids asked "what is this?" then took it once I told them it was a potato.
My folks have a sign on the door saying, "potato available upon request" and they run out of them every year.
Makes sense, potatoes are basically the candy of the vegetable world. Just a giant ball of starchy carbs.
They should have IOU as an option, they use this IOU to claim more chocolate next holloween. Teaching kids finance while there at it.
That's great until a few years down the line some kid shows up with a fat stack of them and cleans you of all the candy.
Nah, its investing right? You just tell the kid there was a market crash and the IOUs are worthless, then keep the candy for yourself.
Is this Russian halloween?
Is dream. Potato is rock.
Yeah but the kid question also apparently got a Snickers bar. So their taste is somewhat debatable.
I'd choose the potato as well but that's because I'm an adult and really don't care about candy
But Snickers is the manliest chocolate bar because it has nuts.
"Am I a joke to you?!"
-Payday
Sorry but I don't get that reference
Payday is a candy bar covered in peanuts.
Just to ruin the joke I will be the one to point out peanuts are legumes, not nuts.

I mean... testicles aren't nuts either, they're just called nuts.

The caption doesn't mention the other choice.
"Potato or death?"
My house is the Pickle House!
Did you want to cause a run on potatoes? Because this is how you cause a run on potatoes
Next thing you know, there's an evil AI running on dozens of potatoes
In mother Russia.... is potato
Potatoes and molasses!
Like the Kung Fu master Bruce Willis said, "Be potato, my friend."
