Smith's milk chews in sligo?

wolf99

Hi folks
Has anyone seen packets (or boxes) of Smith's milk chews for sale in or near Sligo town?

They're very hard to get altogether, but are really good!
For eg there was a shop in Ardee, Louth that sold them for a little while before it closed and a shop in Newry sells them, but its a bit far to be going for the messages!

Thanks!

PS If other folks would also like to get there hands on some...might be able to bulk buy from the Newry shop...

Mint Sauce

Most likely place would be the sweet shop on Castle/John Street, beside Oxfam, across from McHughs, huge pick'n'mix selection.

Bah humbug (boom boom), the folks in that place looked at me like I was loony tunes asking for milk chews...
They have all the stuff from two companies only:
The one that does those big plastic red lidded jars and the one that imports all the american crap. Same as nearly any other sweet shop worth the name.

thanks for the suggestion anyway

You know.. I have seen them somewhere!



The Esso station on Pearse Road is in the back of my mind..

Check the very bottom shelf where all the various 10p (or 30c nowadays) bars are..

.. have definitely seen them, and I'm 90% sure it was there now.

Basq

Bump.

There you go wolf99..



.. as found in Esso on Pearse Road at lunch-time today!

They were on the bottom shelf.. but there think it may have been the last pack!

It was on the shelf on it's own, but thought there might be more in a box towards the back.

They are available online to buy on Amazon.Co.UK.,I expect they ship to the Republic.

il gatto

Dammit! Was there last night and forgot to look.

Did you mean the Esso near to where the motor tax office used to be?

I finally made a trip to that station today and I didnt see any

Basq you must have the last pack!! they're good aren't they?

If its still not raining later i may take another walk to double check.

Just to explain a litlte why I'd prefer to get online:

A) the posty wont be able to fit them through my door, so I'll have to take time off work just to walk all the way out to the ditsr. centre in Finiskillen.

I already have more online accounts that I can keep track of! I always forget my ebay and paypal login details as it is without adding amazon in also! unfortunately the folks on ebay tha have them seem to only ship within the UK

PS. Thanks for checking Basq!

It's the one just up from that (same side of the road)..

.. was in the other day and didn't see any more actually.

Might be worth asking if they've any.

I'm in there every so often, so I'll keep an eye out and let you know if they come back in.
