    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
  • now peanuts i know how to deal with, be greedy and get a bowl to yourself!

    Cheap sweets - fantastic! Anyone know of an NHS Dentist where I can get one filling at half price for every full price one??

    How much in weight can you get in the cups? Is it cheaper to buy by the bag or by the cup. I would try it out but Woolies don't have any scales the crafty beggars.

  • They don't weigh it, you just fill it to the top and the fixed price is £1.99 or £2.99 depending on the size cup. Cups are approx med & large BK cup size, makes a bit of a change to my old fiver pic n mixes!

    I know they don't weigh it but I want to know which is better value. A bag or a cup. If its a bag then I will continue to buy loose and if they want it in a cup I will wash and reuse McDonald ones like a true MSE :)

    Do you think I could find a sponsor to find out which is better value. The BBC watchdog might be interested. I think I would need at least 100 trips there to try the various combination of sweets before finally declaring the best value :D

  • I would say the cups are pretty good cos if u get squidgy sweets you can stuff them right down until its packed to burst

    I can only think its something to do with all those grubby, snot covered fingers that delve into the tub and leave lots of festering germs behind in a container that probably never gets cleaned! - well, thats why I dont buy pick 'n' mix :D


    I work in wilkos. Our containers get cleaned on a regular basis. But you got it in one about the little angels. Also I've seen adullts half eating and chucking back the other half into the continers.


    My advise is to only buy wrapped sweets form pic n mix, never loose unwrapped.
