Davis Caroline Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've only counted a bag of M&M Peanuts once and I got 649. (I would expect the range to be 624-674 or so.) Based on the 649 pieces and based on an $8.75 price per bag, here are some food cost metrics: 4 Count Vend 21.57% (cost per vend; so $21.57 of every quarter you get was spent earlier on product) 5 Count Vend 26.96% 6 Count Vend 32.36% 7 Count Vend 37.75% 8 Count Vend 43.14% 9 Count Vend 48.54% 10 Count Vend 53.93% 11 Count Vend 59.32% 12 Count Vend 64.71% 13 Count Vend 70.11% 14 Count Vend 75.50% 15 Count Vend 80.89% Example of calculation: ***4 Count Vend*** Number of vends per bag: 162.25 (649 / 4) Revenue per bag (Vends times 25 cents): $40.56 (162.25 * $0.25) At $8.75 a bag (Food cost per vend in $): $0.05 ($8.75 / 162.25) At $8.75 a bag (Food cost per vend in %): 21.57% ($0.05 / $0.25) (Note: all numbers shown here are rounded, which is why the answer is 21.57% and not 20%.)

Bravo Duck Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The count varies depending on the size of peanuts they start with, so it is not uniform throughout the year. Some years back I counted several bags and got an average of 680-700 if memory serves me correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Frank, Don't forget about the downloads area. There is a great spreadsheet there that determines the cost per vend on any item you vend. It may help you out. Here's the link... http://www.vendiscuss.net/index.php?/files/file/41-percentage-pricing-worksheet/ Sent from my Android using Tapatalk.

bacho Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Frank You can get the piece per pound on this site. I always referred to it when I was vending candy. http://mail.actionmatic.com/candy-and-gum/candy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
