What candy cost do you run at?

[redfleet32]

I am trying to find out what cost percentage other vendors are running their routes at as far as candy costs.

Thanks

Use 25%. It's a solid number.

Costs per vend? Per head fill?

20% across the board.

Sorry, I could have been more specific. I do mean per vend. For my route, the amount of candy dispensed depends on the cost of the candy. I run all candy at 20%. I did fail to mention that Peanut M&Ms are about 33%. My toys run an average of 33% also.

33 is high for toys. You should be able to do 25% or less including displays and freight

If you run 2 bags at .25 and 1 bag at .50 with displays you would be around 26%. Not counting shipping. So I would guess if half your heads were .50 you would be a little lower than the 25%. Of course that is using the single bag price. Factor in the discount levels and you will be slightly lower. Just another reason to go to .50 mech's.

Thanks everyone.

My candy percents are WAY too high. I'm slowly pushing MMP out of my rotation because they are expensive and go bad. RP had a price jump from about 10-12 cents an ounce to over 18. However, RP and skit are the only non-gb items that won't gum up the machines. All the more reason to focus on toys.

My COG's last 12 mos. is currently @ 23.4468%.

Bingo that's because he sells it at the right price.
