Where do you find M&M tubes?

I have looked at Target--I thought maybe there would be some on clearance after easter, but didn't find any there or in the regular isles. Any ideas where to find them for coins for pressed pennies? TIA

I've seen them/bought them with the regular candy bars at CVS and Walgreens.

THanks and I have some extra care bucks--so they will be free!!!!

Target stopped carrying them for some reason.

I just put m & m tubes on my to do list today. Do quarters fit in both sizes?

The Toys-r-Us by me has them. Love doing pressed pennies. Have fun!!

Hi
I've also used the little containers that my prescription pills come in. I take the lables off, and they fit quarters and the pennies perfectly. I have some filled already for my DGD for our trip in August.

After searching everywhere near my house including Wal-Mart and Walgreens I finally found them at a Love's Gas Station.

Forgot to mention that some very creative people on the Crative DISigns thread under Just For Fun make great labels for the M&M tubes for pressed pennies.

I found mine at the toy dept at Walmart, they were on the end of one of the end caps hanging, a marketing strategy I am sure! I guess more in that area for parents to keep their kids happy when the kids are begging for a new toy and the parent says "NO" and then spots the M&M 's when the kid is crying over the toy they want...hmmm instead of $20 buy M&m's for just over $1!
I also found the bigger tubes at the front in the check out lines where they sell the individual chocolate bars, packs of gum.
Good luck with your search.

I found mine at the grocery store (Giant Eagle). I have also heard of people using film canisters if you have some of those.

Michael's Craft Stores carry them as well.

I got 5 of them at CVS Pharmacy. If you have the Extra Care card, you can earn extra bucks (I have 7.95 towards $15 purchase that gets you $5 in bucks for buying $15 worth of "Mars" products.)

Now I need a glue stick.....

Of all places I found them at Shoe Carnival yesterday. I was just about giving up on finding them.

I finally found my purple m&m mega tube at a different CVS location in town. Only purple one they had.
