I'm looking for great candy and treats sales to stock-up for ~300 kids and hoping to find some great deals. For Halloween, it is all about how many come in the package to split/share. And we want to keep it down to less than $0.05/each.

Would you all share your deals, please?

ETA: It does not have to be candy specifically. It can also be popcorn, crackers, pretzels, toys, etc.

I know this isn't terribly helpful for this year but I usually start looking for full sized bars towards the end of April. Usually by then the dates are good enough. I try to get about 150 for myself and another 125 for my parents to give out. I have hit those for the last three years without issue but it is usually different sources. I get all frees/ mmers/ cheapies that I can. Those usually amount to about 50 or so bars and then someone usually has a deal. I think cvs was the main supplier two years, kmart another year. So hopefully this will help for future years.

As for this year there is a ok candy deal at cvs this week and next if you got the CRT last week. That will get you some of the way there.

Most of the candy purchased in April/May did not make it this far, except 2 bags of "Smarties" and 1 large bag of "DumDums".

LOL Well that's understandable. I tend to try to get stuff I don't like and I keep it in a bin that is packed away and a pita to get to. That's how mine survive.
