Is there anywhere I can order large tubs of sweets?

[MiNxYyY]

I thought of ebay, but then thought it would be a bit weird ordering foodstuffs from a marketplace site.

Nah its fine mate

Have ordered sweets from there before

Anyone where know where you can get a massive tin of american jelly beans? the ones with 50+ flavours?

i got some off ebay not long ago - really expensive but also very yummy.

wow! Never heard of aquarterof.co.uk!! Rhubarb and Custard sweets nom nom!

With 'a quarter of' you'll also get 9% cash back from top cash back.

That site does big ol' buckets of gourmet jelly beans if that's what you're after - they're lush

Jelly Belly beans are from Cost Co. in the tubs.
I have both a Makro and Cost co card.
Makro has a massive range of penny/tuppenny sweets, cost co is cheaper but has much less selection.

Anyone else inspired enough to order some sweets? It'd be interesting to see what people like

Interesting, they may actually work out cheaper than a supermarket then...


(Anyone else find them just way overpriced?)

£26.33 VS £8.26

I've not bought from A quarter of before, but I wouldn't be spending 26 quid on some sweets. Almost more expensive than the cinema

 

[mrteabag]

A quarter of only works out slightly cheaper if you're going by weight in your situation Izi.

Used to love those space ships with sherbert in them when I was a nipper. Made by Swizzles Matlow though I couldn't see them when I gave the site a quick look.

^^Thanks for that Khemist but I'm afraid those aren't the ones. I'll have a look and see if I can find an old pic somewhere.

As title, really. It's those tubs of sweets that you get on penny sweet stands that I'm looking for, foam bananas and those pink mushrooms in particular. Google's giving me lots of wholesale places with free delivery over £150 and a tenner or so for less than that, but I only want a few tubs.

See if you can find someone who can purchase stock from somewhere like Bookers cash and carry.

My wife has a hair salon and she has a Bookers account as she supplies drinks for the clients.

The local bookers for us has an entire aisle full of bulk purchase sweets. First time we took our 8 year old daughter the look on her face was priceless - my wallet trembled at the dentist bill though

I used to get bulk-buy stuff form bookers all the time when my brother worked at a local restaurant. He got fired for taking kickbacks, but it was good while it lasted - this thread was prompted by £1 steaks and crates of coke

We get coke at about 28p a can. Red Bull is about 70p ish. We buy a tub of these sour blueberry tape thingies which I tend to sit and munch on when playing games. I have to have them hidden from me

Yeah, don't get them from 'A quarter of', its a complete rip off!

If you can locate a sweet factory near you and they have a factory shop (table with big tubs of sweets on) then you can get some really cheap sweets.

There was one near me that did loads of different boiled sweets and also made cinder toffee. They supplied Alton Towers, price from AT was £1.50, price from their factory was 25p .
