How did you manage to get them so cheap?

Marshmallows 10p 99p bag done all 10 cones
Hot choc 20p Tubs reduced to 61p at Morrissons. 1 tub = 3 and a bit cones
Stick 10p 12 for £1, but 2 broke so can't use them
Choc chips 23p Bags of choccy chips from Asda, 68p. One bag = 3 cones
Cones - 14p From ebay seller. £7 (inc p&p) for 50, I only used 1 cone per serving

If I was selling them I would allow a bit extra for tags and cello.

Im going to try and sell mine for £2.50 each all my friends say they would pay that much for them

hmmm my costs were more than yours and I searched for the cheapest!

Drinking choc x 3 @ £1.28 each - 1 cone cost = 24p
Marshmallows x 3 bags @ 99p each - 1 cone cost = 19p
Cones x 30 @ 4.50 - 1 cone cost = 30p includes delivery but use 2 cones for each soup
Choc chips x 5 bags @ 79p - 1 cone cost = 26p
Ribbon x 10 metres @ 3p per metre - 1 cone cost = 2p
Candy canes x 15 @ £2 - 1 cone cost = 13
these are rough costs but you get the general idea. Did you use candy canes with yours?

angelkay

oh i forgot about my candy canes they were 12 for 99p so just over 8p each so under 90p a cone

I did - my pics are on page 17

Just seems to be the odd pennies difference here and there, suppose it depends on the shop used?

Where's the best place to get candy sticks? I'm having trouble finding some.

I got mine in Morrisons £1.99 for 12 BOGOF.
They are individually wrapped which is nice.
