JPVendCo. Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I am looking for a fair priced place to buy runts. my local sam's have discontinued them, and they seem to be outragous online. any suggestions?
nam Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 JP, I can't explain it but for some reason the Sam's have stopped stocking certain products that other Sam's are still stocking. Go figure. So because the one you went to isn't gonna carry them anymore maybe another will have them in stock. Also product can be ordered at Sam's that isn't being sold or stocked in the store itself. So if you have mult. Sam's where you live you might check with another store or try to order it at your store. nam
JPVendCo. Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 i will give another store a shot. there's one close to my route that I can check out. checked 2 so far and both of them have discontinued.
BanderSnatch Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Dude this guy has Runts www.MyTomyGacha.com I know he has runts, mike & Ikes, M&M's, skittles, bone heads, skull & bones, cry baby tears, chicklets, all that stuff dude. It's not listed on his website, but if you email him- he'll send you this list of candy. Hope this helps! -Bander
JPVendCo. Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 ok. thanks. Its not that theres no rubts at all, its just the prices have been terrible on the ones I have found.
Jax Snacks Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Most of the Sams have dropped Runts, Hot Tomales, Boston Baked Beans, Chickle Tabs, Chocolate Raisins, Trail Mix, Gourmet Jelly Beans etc. They just don't sell consistently to justify the floor space needed. My understanding is that each Sam Club has some flexibility in what products can be offered. You will see Reeses Pieces in some stores and not others for example. But when the heavy hand of the corporate office comes down, that usually trumps the local decisions. I believe that is what happened to Runts. I stopped vending them years ago and use Skittles instead. Jax
sterling Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Smart and final has them. There are 2 new flavors Grape and Mango. The Smart and Final I was at yesterday had 1 bag with the old flavors and the rest with the new. This may have something to do with the out of stock people are seeing.
havending Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 If you get the SKU and take it to your local sams manager they will get it for you. I have my stocking 5 lb reces and 3 pound chickle tabs and other speical order 850 ct gums. like cotton candy, grape etc. un less your sams manager is a jerk. Also go to the top manager at your local sams not one of the 50 they have lol
BanderSnatch Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 hey is $55 for 12,000 pieces of runts sound good to you? (JPVendco.)

Mikey B Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 my wife is hooked on what I call the runts wanna be candy. "Crazy Bananas" http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=438007&pCatg=9332 but it would be nice if you could order a smaller amount to try just in case customers don't like it.
