If you have recently purchased the skittles that are now out there are many things to do with them. In stores Skittles and M and M's have a blue cineplex logo on selected packages. When you collect 8 packages, you redeem the codes online for 2 movie passes to be used at Cineplex. Just log online to purchase your tickets, and voila! I have bought some packages for $2 and some for $2.22 a bag during the past two weeks. I have a lot of candy here! The down fall is to insert the codes all the packages need to be opened. I store them in large glass jars. As you can see, my frugal ways also are used in my canisters. These are old Nescafe Instant Coffee Jars that have been my canisters since 2001!
I then went to the Dollarama where they have loot bags in a great cone shape.
I have filled up a few of them to be birthday gifts. I have attached a Movie Pass with the bag of Skittles to be the gift. Voila!
Last year ( I will also do it this year) these were stocking stuffers for my kids. I put a bag of candy in their stocking along with the print out ticket to the movie from the redeemed code. For the $16 plus tax my two kids get a trip to the movies, and candy.
I also keep a jar on my desk at work.
