mudechevy Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I am planning a sweet 16. Nothing to fancy but a ton of kids will come. I am looking for the blank mint tins that I can stick a label on and fill with candy. I am also wondering where is the cheapest place to get bulk Hershey bars? I am going to make my own wrappers for them. Bulk candy in general??? Any other ideas to go along with a SWEET theme? Decorations, etc?? I have to make it CHEAP.
vsa3janes Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Watch the clearance after Vday for candy. I don't know about full size candy bars but they have the minis for Vday. My sister gave my niece a party and she filled different size glass cylinders (like you put candles in) with different candies. She bought them after Easter. Jelly beans, sweet-tarts, candy coated licorce bites, etc. They were colorful and made a great display.
mudechevy Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Oh that sounds so cool & pretty all at the same time! Great idea!

They are plain and then you could put your own label on them. I do know that years ago, you might have good luck if you contacted a company directly and asked them for empty containers. (At one time, I contacted P&G about Pringles cans.) But now with the economy, you may have no luck at all that way.
scrabbler Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 As far as bulk Hershey bars, depending on the amount, you could contact Hershey directly as they do sell things at their website or you could contact your local grocery store and ask them if you bought x cases, how much could they sell them to you for. Probably best to try both a chain store and a non chain store. Sometimes chain stores do not work their own deals and they will not budge on the price whereas a locally owned place could get them cheaper, maybe.
mudechevy Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Thank you. I hate to haggle but I make have to in this case. lol My daughter has a LOT of friends and it's not a party if they aren't all there.
