In the US the prices go way down. Therefore, would you be tempted to go out and buy a lot of it? How long does candy last? For instance, can you buy some now, but then eat it at Christmas, New Years, or even Easter?
Candy can last fairly long but it depends on where you place it. I usually put my candy in the fridge because I live in such a humid area. Hard candy usually lasts fairly long while chocolates don't.
