How to Buy Candy in Bulk

Buying candy in bulk is probably one of the easiest things you can do. There are just hundreds of places to get it. There are probably more bulk candy sites than dentists, which you will need when you're done with all the candy. But you can also buy sugar-free candy, pretzels and nuts in bulk. Buying your candy in bulk is great and much less expensive for big parties, fairs and group functions; here's how to buy candy in bulk.

Things You'll Need

• A computer

Instructions

1. Go online. You can order just about any kind of candy made today, such as novelty candy, chocolates and jelly beans. They have gift baskets, special occasion candy and even gum and cough drops. If you are thinking of starting a business, you can get your vending machine candy at one of these online candy stores (see Resources below).

2. Go to a county fair. The online candy stores listed in the Resources section below set up at the county fairs to get their name out into the community. Go on their website and look at their schedule of appearances. You can check them out at the fair and try some samples.

3. Go to your local Cosco or other bulk items store. They sell everything and most food items you can get in big quantities. If they don't have what you're looking for in the store, go ask the management if they can order it for you.

4. Shop for your bulk candy at the local Office Depot, Staples or other business supply store. They usually carry bulk candy and pretzels, but their variety is limited. If you're just looking for candy to keep a jar filled on your counter, though, this is an excellent place to go. It's convenient and you can order over the phone and have it to your office as soon as the next day.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're ordering for a party or function, don't order too early as the candy can get stale or in some cases melt.
