ClarkMI Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Made a 28-day collection today. I went in with a globe full of Crispy M&Ms to replace the Peanut, due to poor returns on the Peanut at my second pull (see http://vendiscuss.net/index.php?/topic/22656-first-machine-placement-03012015/ for details). The location's employees seemed favorable to the Crispys when I talked with them. Went in the break room to service the machines and found $8.50 in the Peanut M&M head. Hmm... It seems I was too impulsive! That immediately got me thinking about how I should view the product as an investment--find a good one at a good price and sit on it! Pay no attention to the ups and downs of the market, you're in this for the long haul! I had already told the employees about the Crispy M&Ms, so there was no turning back. Swapped out the heads and moved on to the Skittles. $21.75!!! Finished out my amazement with a few prayers to the Father, and some Crispy M&M free samples to the employees.

Jimoutside Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 31-day collection today. Skittles $23.25 Crispy M&Ms $16.00 Out of one machine? If so, that ain't bad. Very nice, in fact. I think we'd all be appreciative. So far the crispies are doing great then, but not out-selling the skittles. Skittles are a blessing, aren't they!

Yep, two single heads on a stand, which I understand qualifies as a 'double head'.Skittles are quite the blessing. Low COG is favorable in my book, especially in this location where they are so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Do the crispy m&m's hold up in the wheel? I wanted to try them but was afraid they would fall apart. Sam's has them for 5.91 a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam's has them for 5.91 a bag.I'm not sure. I haven't had any complaints, and did not see any getting split when running them through to adjust the vend amount.What size is that bag at Sam's?
