Check your Sunday paper for a coupon for M&M's. It is for buy 2 regular size bags get one free. They are advertising the tropical coconut flavor.

Has anyone seen them in their stores recently.

I know I found some at our Sheetz convenience store last summer.

I'm hoping they may be displayed with the Easter candy.

I got the coupon...2 in fact, since we get 2 different papers. [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif] SoCal seems to be behind the times on the coconut M&Ms...the only place I've found them is Super Walmart and even then I had to search for the one checkout display that still had a couple in the box. Maybe they'll start showing up now since they were on the coupon. I asked the young kid at CVS and he'd never even heard of them. :-?

Glad you got the coupon.

This was listed in another thread. But I thought I would post it here as well.


I am thrilled to announce the launch of http://www.SpicyDiver.com. We feature three great sauces all of which complement the island lifestyle, Caribbean Lime, Garlic Serrano and Red Habanero. Please use coupon code "FinsUp" for added savings for our fellow Buffettnews members. I have been working on this for over a year and am thrilled to announce the web launch this weekend. Watch for details for our special Barbecue at Jones Beach this summer. Thanks and enjoy!

that carry items such as silk flowers, plates, fabric, etc. They carry spectacular outdoor
yard art such as parrots, flamingos, etc. Right now everything is 40% off...check it out....

Found an item that will be perfect to take to the tailgate.

Cheeseburger flavored Doritos!! These were in a regular size bag in the snack food isle and on a display near a front entrance.

Have so far only seen them at WalMart stores in PA.

Are they anywhere else??

Margaritaville brand is often carried in your regional food stores. Here in Iowa, that is HyVee. They carry chips, salsa and hummus. (who knew Jimmy made hummus?) Haven't seen the tea yet tho. You may want to check out similar stores in your area (like Dierbergs in St Louis?)

Darn - I was just in Green Bay the last couple of days and they have a Hobby Lobby there. I meant to go today before we headed home and forgot. They also have one in Grand Rapids, MI. Big Lots has a pretty good selection of tiki stuff, parrothead-type wood signs (we bought 2), plastic coconut bras, grass skirts, etc. The Dollar Store has their front area, where they put the parrot party stuff during the early summer, stocked with Easter stuff right now. TJ Max has a very good selection of seashell mirrors, etc. and nautical-looking stuff. I heard about the shirts at Kohls from another thread and plan on heading over there tomorrow, but also wanted to mention that we bought our son a couple of great parrot shirts at JC Penney's last summer.
