    Is it possible to buy full boxes of Cadbury snack sandwich? I don't live in Ireland so would love someone to bring over a box of these so I have them for ages.
    Where should I tell them to look? Is it just as simple as going into Dunnes or something and asking them for an entire box? Is there somewhere that will have a better price for bulk buying?
    Thanks. Tea is just not the same without them! :D

    You could ask in a supermarket and they might go out to the store room and get a box. Or ask a small shop owner, you might have to come back a week later and could ask them if you can get a discount.

    Your best bet in a supermarket would be mulitpacks though, as a retail box would be individual prices

    Amazon sell retail packs, no purple snacks

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_keywords_0?rh=n%3A359961031%2Ck%3Acadburys+snack%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A1064505031&keywords=cadburys+snack&ie=UTF8&qid=1397207642&rnid=1064503031

    EDIT, they are on amazon, but very expensive, they are calling them blue snacks

    Thanks. Looks like it's easier to get multipacks.
    Blue snacks... What were they thinking?!

    If your friend is in dublin/North Wicklow I have a cash & carry card and could pick up a box no bother.

    Just saw these replies. Thank you both. Whoops - they're in Galway but thank you for the offer.
    It's probably better for my health anyways. :(

    If someone gave me a box of 60 purple snacks they'd be gone within 10 days. You're probably better off without them!

    Supervalu in Tuam have 6 snack size bars in a pack for 1.27.
    Load of boxs stacked up on floor. Your friend should have no
    trouble getting a full box. I presume the offer is in all supervalu stores.

    Dont shoot me! I am a huge fan of the Purple snack but Aldi do their own blue versions for half the price!

    Again I am in no way saying you can replace the Purple snack as that would be blasphemy!

    Ah but when you know you have a limited supply you tend to ration them better. Like, how much do I want to enjoy this cup of tea? Or, did I really have a bad day...? :)

    Thanks again.

    Just to let you know that the purple snacks are on offer in Dunnes, a six pack for €1 until the 11th! There is a max of four per customer but a few or repeat visits should sort that problem out!

    Is it me have the purple snacks shrunk?

    Ask anyone you know in Galway in the food or drink industry for a McCambridges card, they'll have them in there dirt cheap.
