Cheapest sweets - Haribo etc

Hiya,
Heading along to Half marathon in London on Sunday and hoping to take some sugary sweets for the runners, jelly babies and Haribo etc

Lowest I can find these bags are £1 in various shops, but I know they're often cheaper, 67p or 50p etc

Anyone seen any deals? Want to get a few bags spending as little money as possible! xxx

    When you say runners, are they people with you? Because if you're taking sweets for complete strangers, there might be issues in case you've injected them.

    You can get Tesco gummy sweets (wine gums/midget gems) at 3 bags for £2.50 - full sized bags; kids' smaller bags are 3 for £1; you'd have to compare each for £/100g to work out which was best.
  • there are packs of haribo on offer in morrisons for 50p ATM
  • The tiny bags of haribo are 8 for 50p in homebargains x

    It's pretty normal practice for people to give them out, from the marathons we've run, they're always gratefully accepted!
    Though if people are wary, of course they don't have to take them!

    Another marathon in a few weeks, I look forward to the sweet support! haha

    Thanks for all the replies, Morrisons website says Jelly Babies etc are 74p and they have some Halloween Haribos for 50p - went in on Tues and they were all full price! Will be stocking up for Sunday!
