Cheap Cheap Cheap Sweeties!!

Cookiepops

I've bought my little nephew a 2ft tall coca-cola money bottle as every time he visits, he always looks at ours and tries to guess how much money we have in it. But it looks a bit dull to open on Xmas, so I thought I might fill it up with sweeties. Its probably going to hold quite a lot so where would be the cheapest place to buy lots of sweets? Im thinking Haribo's, refreshers, love hearts - that kind of thing.

Thanks!

Lots of offers on for Halloween at the moment, you may be better waiting till beginning of November, and hopefully they will be reduced!!:D

stuff tissue paper in it too, that'll fill it out a bit

Definitely wait till the shops are clearing out their halloween stuff lol I bought a couple of huge bags last year for the office that was about 80% off as it was just gone halloween

Why not add in some 'party favours' if they will fit. You know like bouncy balls, bubbles etc? That will pad it out too.

Theres lots of offers on selection tins going at half price or a third off in the supermarkets.

yeah I did think about that but then husband pointed out that we probably wouldnt be able to get it out of the bottle again. So its tons of little sweeties then!

Depending on whether you live near one and how they sell, last year Co-Op had big bags of mini chuppa chup lollie for halloween (though only the big bag was halloween themed) after 31st they reduced them down to 20p :j I got 2 bags as they had a year long date, we've only just got through them :rotfl:

I've seen them in my local co-op yesterday so I know they're about again

Ooooh yum, I want

I second the idea of waiting till 1st Nov ish before buying as they should be reduced in many places

I would say be careful what you put in weight wise as it may get pretty heavy.
