Makro have Prigles from 19th at £3.75 + Vat and Bookers currently have them on offer so can you not buy from there? I have 3 cash and carry accounts and normally one will have an offer on and when they do I buy enough stock to last at least 3 months, I could not make a profit at 5.79 and vat thats 58p a pot???? My average price is 38 to 40p which still leaves 40p a pot after commision, bugger all after depreciation of the machine (at the minute)though!

tint your windows yourself - cheap and works very well even in the sunny south!

Hi,
There are 4 tower stock suppliers us being one... It is all down to personal preference and also what customers like most.

Top 5 In ascending order: -
Skittles, Chocolate Mini Eggs, Assorted Pencils, Fizzy Cola, Jelly Beans.
Choc Raisins go well in clubs where there are women.
Some of my sites want savory snacks, then it's Salted, Cashews & Hot & Spicy!

That is not entirely correct Rick. Minstrels are fine, but products such as Rolo may do in hot areas. Its the fizzy mix and cola bottles that melt first. The secret is not to site them in front of windows, or in conservatories during the summer. It was very ho this summer and I had no problems.
Thanks,
Paul
