M&Ms...

[Susan]

needing some information - and the SL Divas is where I turn first!!

Has anyone ever ordered custom M&Ms from their website? My daughter's school colors are teal, black and white and I keep looking at the M&Ms that you can order - they are just beautiful!!! LOVE the color combos you can do...and the personalizations are just adorable.

But my word - the price!!!! It's just insane - for a 7 oz bag of teal, black and white M&Ms with just the "class of 2011" printed on the white ones it's $17.95! JEEZE-LOUISE!! Wonder if I could find knock-off M&Ms somewhere - LOL - in teal black and white?!?!! HAHAH

So has anyone ever ordered these custom ones before? Printed or personalized? I'm just curious, because I'm tempted! OH why couldn't her high school colors have been red and white?!?!??! So much easier to find color coordinating candies in those colors!

LOL - I know Michaels sells little 7 oz bags in colors, but I can't remember if I've ever seen the M&Ms "teal" available?!?!?! With coupons I could probably fill up a big glass jar for less money...black teal and white. That might work - huh??

I have M&Ms on the brain right now - cute matters and dang those personalized M&Ms are KA-UTE!!!!

I need more coffee - and to step away from the computer...

Susan, I've never purchased, but googled and found this site:
www.candydirect.com/

They sell M&Ms and other colored candies in bulk. Maybe you could get the black and teal from them, and then order the printed ones from the M&M site??

yikes Gail - that's a dangerous site!

THANKS!!!! and a great idea!!!

I think Gail has the right idea...I just bought a 12-oz. bag of M&M's (this is the "average" sized bag) this morning for $2.68.

A friend ordered the personalized M&M's, and was amazed at how really small a 7-oz. package turned out to be.

I hope the site Gail found works for you! (Then you'll have $$$$$ left over to spend at SL! )

I haven't ordered, but have seen the personalized ones in real life. They were nicely done and looked great. It was printed text, not a photo. And they were in little favor boxes with about 5 in there--guess I know why now!

I think it's a great idea to mix the regular M & Ms with the personalized ones. Watch for a 25% off purchase from Mikes and load up. And then order some personalized ones just for fun.

The coupons in the paper often have ads with discount codes. And if you Google "M & M coupon code." Both retailmenot.com and couponcabin.com have codes.

And you know we will need pictures!

The price scared me away awhile back. Just bought them in bulk.

Susan my husband ordered them for his team after they completed a special project at work. Yes they are expensive. AND Krystle ordered special colored ones for the wedding without anything written on them.

Oh My Goodness Gail!
What a site.......I could have used this site years ago when we would have our family Easter egg hunts.
I think you hit the jack-pot of all times when you found this site.....
as for as candy is concerned .Think of all the die-cut boxes for little favors/gift filled with this stuff we could make.

Thanks for sharing with us all.
