Self packers -celebrations.

Post by Style »

Hi, Has anyone self packed Celebrations? How many do you put in?

£4 for a tub of 650gm at mo. I can put 4 in a pot for 22p or 5 in for 27p. Both plus cost of tub.

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy

We done Celebrations in our final year of running the machines. We put in x5 sweets and they bombed for us - I personally believe that it doesn't represent good value for money. Times may have moved on so why not give it a go!

Kind regards,

Barbara

Hi Andy
Where are you getting your pots from and how much if you don't mind me asking? Thinking of going back to self-potting Maoams as cash and carry prices are still good and you can pot them really fast

Ive got some pots ive had for years but not used. Unfortunately Ive got a lot more pots than I have lids!

The new Hurleys pots are fantastic. I think they will be selling them soon.

Ok thanks. Are they still using the Hurleys name then or is it EJ Sweets? How did you end up with more lids than pots then, I thought they normally matched the amounts. Don't know what pots you've got but I've got a spare pack of Kit Maquinas ones you can have for nowt if you want. For some reason they always used to put more lids in than pots so after I used about 20 boxes I ended up with a full spare pack (300)
