Are you rich? You have this kind of money to throw around? Full size candy is like 2 bucks each, that's like half a gallon of gas...
Honestly, in 2019 full size bars weren't that bad if you brought them from a place in bulk. I got mine at costco for a pretty good deal, I wanna say like 32 bars were included and it was under $30 at the time. For comparison, costco also had a giant bag of mini ones which was around $20. Because I didn't have a huge turnout of kids I was able to get away with giving full bars for maybe $10 more than what I would've spent. I think it was worth it when you see the kids faces drop when they realize your house is giving away the good stuff.
With that said, chocolate has gone up a lot during the years of inflation and that same box is sadly a lot more now, so I have dropped back down to just the large bag of mini ones.
Rich does not mean being able to purchase X amount of full size candy bars. Damn.
It's not as bad if you go to Sam's Club or whichever warehouse store is near you. I can pick up a box of 30 full-size bars for less than $30 there.
And I never get 30 kids.
Try two Aussie dollars not even getting you a litre (0.2 gallons). I ain't giving out solid easter bunnies with those prices!
