westlakevending Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I have plenty of locations requesting cashews. I tried them on a trial bases at one location. They thought that they were getting ripped off....basically not getting enough bang for their quarter. When i adjust the wheel they are getting 20grams of cashews for a quarter. I did the math and there is 6.25 profit in a can of cashews....just wondering how everyone is vending them out...... Next, I remember on a different fourm someone vending jolly ranchers just curious to see how those are vending? Next, peanut m&m are my number one seller however, they are cracking,..... has anyone ever used the sun shields? Thanks West Lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Westlake, First off, I have had very little success with cashews. They are, in my opinion, just way too expensive for bulk vending. You get caught in that area where if you vend a fair amount you take a hit but if you're too stingy then you hear about it from the customers. I'm sure some will tell you that they can make it work however I choose not to even bother. Next, I remember on a different fourm someone vending jolly ranchers just curious to see how those are vending? Yes I remember seeing this on the forum you are talking about. I don't know how he ever made out with those though. I would like to get him on here to give us an update. Next, peanut m&m are my number one seller however, they are cracking,..... has anyone ever used the sun shields? sunshields will help if your machine is located in direct sunlight but you have to also remember that cracking occurs because of the air temp inside the globe. Even machines located away from windows will produce cracked PMM if it is in a warm location. Obviously there is not much you can do to control the temp in your locations.

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Cashews are my #1 seller. Where do you buy them. I get them for 9.50 at Sam's, with no tax card. I make 20 off that can. I give 10 pieces, and people are happy. I get comments all the time on how good thay are. I sell out of a can each month in all my locations! K.G.

caserri Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I used to get mine at Sam's as well. Not a very good seller in my neck of the woods. Guth why don't you join the other vendors in revenue reporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I am not vending cashews, but I have a nice little nut medley I am happy with and doesn't cost that much. I purchased the mixed nuts and the virginia large peanuts from Sam's. I mix the Virginia Peanuts(4.88 a can) and Mixed Nuts(9.88 a can) with a 2-1 ratio respectively. I find people like it because they think they are getting more nuts and a great variety. I have done quite well with the few locations I have tried, and I am looking to swap out a few more this next time I service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I gauge by driving by ever so often haven't checked the money, but the nuts are looking low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I read somewhere else that peanuts cause the globes to get oily and cloudy. Do cashews have the same issues? What about that mixed nut combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 My nut locations have been in service exactly 18 days and I haven't seen that problem yet. I select locations that run air conditioning 24/7, I'm in Phoenix, and pretty much look like places that little critters wouldn't be crawling around. I'll let you know if I have any problem with the combo, but thus far I love it! It is selling much better then my other two selections, PMM( Peanut M&M's) and DB( Dubble Bubble).
