Where can you buy candy canes?

I assumed Costco would have them, but they only have these big ones with little decorated jellies on them that run for 10,000 a box (of 24). A little expensive to give out to all of my students/some friends.

I just want the little cheap ones. Anyone seen them around?

(Sorry if it's been asked already.)

I bought a tub of about 300 mini candy canes at Costco about 2 weeks ago.

I was at Yangjae on Sunday and they only had the expensive ones. Now, I'm kicking myself for not buying them when they were available 2 months ago. They must have sold out.

Yes, they sold out. You can get 24 bigs ones at Costco for 10,000.

You can do what I did, and buy five boxes of the 10,000 won candy canes for 14,000 per box at the Foreign Food Market in Itaewan. Sad

The foreign candy shops in Namdaemun Market have candy canes, but I couldn't find ANY that tasted like peppermint! They were all fruit flavoured, even the red, white and green ribbon looking ones.

That is some kind of disappointment, I'll tell you. Cheap enough, though, if you want 'em.

I don't think those a "real" candy canes; no peppermint. Maybe I'm wrong?
