My local Sams are all out of bulk Skittles. Talked to a manager and they said its a issue with the plant and the bags they are in and do not have a date when they will be in stock.
Will have to figure out a good replacement, hate to go with Tamales or Mike Ikes since they have a adhesion problem. Maybe do Reeses or the new PMM dark even thought it has lower returns. Would do Runts but they are not at Sams either.

I was at costco two weeks ago looking for skittels. They only had two bags left which i bought
for 2.50 each bag. There must be something going on.

I Live in California. Had the same problem with Skittles at our local Sam's. Found all I needed at Smart and Final.

I am hearing the same thing on other forums. I hate to see that happen...It is one of my best sellers. I will have to talk w/ my local Sam's manager.

And? What did they say?

I'm glad I don't run a lot of skittles but if I did I would just buy them from my local Walmart. The packages are smaller but the price per oz is less and the last time I checked my local store there were an abundance of them. Its the same with the PMM.

Just a thought for all you Skittlers.

Found 41oz Skittles bags at the Walmart market grocery store, they were $6.36, but will hold me over until I figure a plan.
