I am sure I saw somwhere on this site that we could get pink kisses or M&M's somewhere and I have looked at Wal-Mart & Target and found nothing!! Anyone know anything about this???
 
I just but 4 bags of pink kisses w/ the ribbon on the wrapper @ Albertson's for our booth this weekend. They are so cute in our bowls. I plan to buy more for my may shows.

no Albertsons here...we don't have Albertson's so maybe I'll try Kroger & see if they have some.
 
I would check anywhere that sells candy, I will let you know that they weren't at my wal-mart either.
 
I saw some at Gabriel Brothers. It is a seconds, discount, old stock, and not quite up to par shop. They have a lot of last seasons leftovers. I am sure that is why they have pink kisses. If you have a last seasons discount store in your area, I would check them out or give them a call. I am not sure how many Gabriel Brothers there are in the US.
 
I always buy several bags of Kisses in Spring/Easter colors. I take all the pink ones out and save them. The rest is for the family to eat.

I like to put the kisses inside the Stainless Whisk for a cute display item.

I totally did the same thing.
I will sell little bags of them for so much
 
I bought the Breast Cancer Awareness M&M's back in October since that is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and put them in my freezer. I will be doing that same thing again this October.

I also bought m&m's when they were out for easter. Also picked out the pink ones and then let the family eat the rest. I also have use some pink jelly beans. They look cute too.:)

OM!!! I checked it out - but $11.99 for a 7 oz bag???.....just a bit too steep for my budget!
 
I agree. They are SO cute, though!!!!
 
It would be a great host gift.
 
I'm with you guys, I couldn't afford that right now. But Oriental Trading does have the mints with the ribbon on it. This is what I'm using.
 
I am serious about checking grocery stores. I just found them at Safe way (kisses) for $3.49 a bag. So if you don't have a safeway try Dominick's (I think it is the same chain).
 
Illinois has a breast cancer lottery ticket that I bought last year for my May hosts. They were $2.00 instead of the usual $1.00

I've seen the pink M&M's at Walgreens. Sometimes they're hidden under the large bags of "regular" M's, so you have to dig a little.
 
In TX, I saw the pink m&m's at Linen's N Things.
 
I'm still on the hunt for pink kisses. I need wrapped candies for my shows.
 
Can't help you there- I bought Easter kisses on the day after Easter and picked out the pink ones.
 
LOL talk about smart! good thinking ahead of time ann

Not smart-- CHEAP!
 
Even cheaper - I bought a candy mold of the ribbons and the pink melting chocolate is only $1.75 a pound at ACMoore. I am going to tie those in the wedding tulle circles and tie with a pink ribbon for my hostess gifts. :D
 
didnt think to do the pink ones, was just going to get dark chocolate kisses. Thanks for the hint (brain freezes-quite often) lol
 
I usually do the dark chocolate. I tell the guests that, since dark chocolate is good for you, it makes me feel less guilty for giving them candy. It's more like a vitamin! At Christmas, though, I tossed the Candy Cane Kisses. Can't even begin to tell you how popular those were. I had women arguing over them. Several told me later that they stopped on the way home from the show to pick up a bag.

Just tried a Neopolitan Kiss today. Pretty yummy. Still looking for something pink, though.
 
A couple of years ago I stocked up after Valentine's Day on the pink-wrapped chocolate hearts from the bulk candy area of the grocery store, and just held them until May. As long as they are stored in a cool area, they're fine.
 
LOL Rae, that was my plan too-tell them they're good for them all those anti-oxidants(sp?)
 
Exactly! That's the kind of science I like.
 
I saved some Hershey's Kissables from Valentine's Day! (of course picked out and ate the red!) ....so now I have a prep bowl full of pink and white kissables for a door prize or host gift!
 
See, this is what I'm afraid of. The "extras" are too tempting. I'm trying to be a good little diabetic.
