To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we subtract the cost of the Red Snaps from the cost of the Blue Tarts.

The cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps is 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2.00>>2.00.
The cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts is 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.40>>2.40.
The difference in cost is $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40.

Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
