The name does describe the store. You won’t find a place in New York City that has better prices on candy. How cheap? Here’s a good example. Jelly Belly jellybeans are $9.99-$8.99 elsewhere. Economy candy sells them for $5.99 per pound. Not only is the candy cheap, they also have a large variety. Some of the harder to find candies that were popular decades ago, like candy cigarettes, are still sold there. They also sell dried fruits and nuts. The store itself is neat, but cramped and is usually crowded, but it’s worth putting up with it for the candy.
