    just to let you know standard Mars and snickers are now coming in their new smaller sizes like twix has already done. They are moving to "european" sizes :eek:
    Where do you buy them? and have any of you retailers looked at importing them from elsewhere, like the €2 shops seem to? Is there any problem with this, like being blacklisted by reps or something.

    I guess we could bring in stock, but where the pound shops win is they bring in containers of the stuff. When you have their volume, they get huge discounts.

    Dealz are actually poundland Uk.

    Absolutely huge. They go to the manufacturers and order particular products in the size they want and they get it.

    There is no point in importing them as Ireland and UK have the same stock so when they are smaller in the UK they are going to be smaller here. European sizes as generally sold by discounters are smaller, this goes for Lion bars, polos, drifters etc. Try and pass off a smaller bar as a standard as some shops are trying to do at the moment and youll just annoy your customers (being polite)

    Poundland are one of the biggest retailers, let alone discounters in the UK. They tell companys what they want and it gets made for them. Watch the below and see how poundland works

    Spot the difference. Look the same, cost the same (I think).

    Look at the size in grams.
