Sorry if this topic has been covered before but I was just looking at all the wonderful Hope Is.... cards and now I want some pink and white m & m's to use as incentives. Can these be purchased anywhere or do you have to order them from the m & m website?
I just found some in stop & shop yesterday (Attleboro, Mass.-$3.29) & I heard from a girl who found them in K-Mart (Rochester, NY-$2.99). Last I heard the M&M's sight hadn't started taking orders yet but I would check anyway. Same style bag as the previous post mentioned.
Good luck on the hunt.
I haven't seen any yet, doggone-it! My DD and I wanted to make little treat bags stamped with the Hope Is set this month. Figured we'd give them out at work for the ladies. As a lot of you know, my sister died of breast cancer and I want to do everything I can to get women to get those annual exams & mammograms if necessary. DD (23) has already had 4 or 5 biopsies, and I can't even count the ones I've had. It's always scary, but at least they've all been benign. My sister's cancer, unfortunately, was seen on her mammogram, but the doctor said that it was just scar tissue from a previous biopsy. Well, by the next annual exam, the cancer was so far gone that it cost her her life. Hindsight is 20/20. Sorry to go on so....but breast cancer awareness is a big thing to me.
I thought we could buy the pink M&M's or some Creme Savers (something pink & white), fill a cello bag with it and a little pink/white shred, attach a bc pen to the stamped topper, and voila! A nice little BC Awareness gift.
I've checked every store around me and so far no pink/white M&Ms. I wanted to make the little cello bags with them for a party I have coming up so I went ahead and bought them from the M&M site. They were 2.99 I belive. I bought 4 bags which totalled almost 12 bucks, BUT had to play 9 something for shipping! Oh well, at least I have what I wanted.

I haven't seen any here either. I have been wanting some for a couple of gift baskets I am making my gr'ma and a friend. Grandma loves jelly beans, so I am going to get her some pink and white (strawberry and coconut or marshmallow) jelly belly's.

I thought about the pink & white jellie bellies, too. I can't afford to buy the M&M's off their website; they're charging too much, IMO, especially for the shipping. Hey, as long as it tastes good and is pink, it'll do! Hey, another thought....isn't Almond Roca in pink foil? I know it's costlier than the other candies, but each cello bag will only get a 2-3 pieces. hmmmmm....
I FINALLY found them at K-Mart. The one by me was sold out and I was planning on driving an hour away to get them, but luckily the manager dropped them off at the K-Mart near me. I bought 5 bags of them!!! I am planing on making cello bags with toppers to sell at the local craft fairs. All the proceeds will go to the local elementary school that supports Relay For Life.
