Cyber Monday deals may have ended, but Amazon keeps surprising us with great discounts this week including a personal favorite of mine: Albanese Gummi Bears. The brand claims to be the "World's Best" and I legitimately agree it's the best in the world.
Although the 5-pound bag of gummy bears hit its all-time low of 40% off during Black Friday 2024, Amazon has gifted us all a sweet discount of 30% off right now, which is surprisingly good. The 12-flavor bag of bears normally costs $20, but you can get a 5lb bag of Albanese Gummi Bears for just $13.99 right now. That's still quite a deal, my friends.
5 Pounds of Albanese Gummi Bears for $14
I called these the best in the world above, and it might just seem like I'm repeating the boast from the front of the packaging. But they really are the best, so I'm just calling it like I see it (or taste it). Albanese Gummi Bears are soft, but not too soft. They're sweet, but not too sweet. They come in 12 flavors that balance each other nicely. They pass the Goldilocks test that all other gummy bears fail. They're like Mary Poppins: They're practically perfect in every way.
Don't believe me? Try them for yourself.
Also, be warned: These gummy bears are not guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas, so unless you're buying a bag for yourself, this will be a possibly delayed gift for anyone else. (Worth the wait, though.)
More December Deals
You know what else is great about these gummy bears? They don't leave a gross sticky residue on your fingers, so you can munch on them while playing a game. Speaking of gaming, there are still some great deals on games including a PC deal on the new Indiana Jones game, the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is back down to its Black Friday price for one day only, and outside of Xbox, Helldivers 2 for PS5 has an excellent discount for Prime members.
Additionally, you can find deals on consoles, controllers, PCs, desks, chairs and SSDs across Amazon, Walmart and Target. Upgrade your gaming setup at home while you consume your five pounds of Gummi Bears, and you'll be living the sweet life.
