Pots of gold help!

katebl

Hey all, thanks for such a great idea, just in case it helps anyone I got a 400g bag of coins for £3 from tesco, works out better value than the smaller BOGOF bags. Also if anyone spots any mini baileys in any of the supermarkets on offer please let me know...

The bag of coins or the mini Baileys? I am after both, coins for pots of gold and Baileys for my Gran for Christmas!

I think she meant the Baileys (?), I know Sainsburys have them £5.50 for 4 but was hoping to get them for closer to £1 each, will let you know if I find any!

Thanks! :A I looked last year for the ones which were available at Christmas 2008 and had the four different flavours as my Gran loved them but I could't find them. Will look my local Co-op and Sainsburys the next day I am in the area but I will watch here to see if you get them for less. :money:

hey

im looking for a little bit of advice please


I have done some pots of gold, i got hold of some cheap plastic gold cups, so i am using these the only trouble is they are pretty big and if i were to fill it with all sweets i would have to sell them for about £10:eek::eek: which is never going to happen - do you guys think it would be ok to put tissue paper in the bottom and roughly how many sweets do you put in, i have ferrero rocher, choc gold balls and choc coins.


Any help would be appriciated thanks Katie x

It's my DD2's birthday at the end of November. She will be 11 yrs old and i have been looking for something different to give her friends at the end of the party....the pots of gold would be great (i hate party bags full of cheap rubbish that gets thrown away when they get home).

Just don't include any scratchcards!

My Tesco store finally has chocolate coins in :T
So today I bought - 3 of the 400g bags at £3 each (a quarter of a bag is enough for 1 glass) and 12 cadbury's wishes chocolate for £6.
The Sanctaury mini's show no signs of being on 3 for 2 BUT Boots have their Christmas gift packs on 3 for 2, as always, and there is this gift pack which I was thinking of buying 6 packs and splitting them which would work out even cheaper than buying them individually if they were to be on 3 for 2 :j
All I need to do now is buy Scratch cards for them all and put them together and that will be 12 gifts sorted! In total costing about £6.15 per pot of gold

When I make them I will try post a photo on here of the finished product.

Just popped in to say I picked up a box of 30 Ferrero Rocher for half price in Tesco yesterday £3.50 instead of £7.00

Hope this helps some of you with your pots of gold
