I want to buy this to use as party favors for an event on 5/16. I'll need 30 little bags. Is one 5 lb enough, and when shoud I order for freshness?

It's a little tough to judge, but I definitely think you'd be able to fill 30 sandwich-sized bags. And as long as you keep it closed, it stays very fresh for several weeks.

We bought the 5 gallon bag for a baby shower (put "ready to pop" tags on the bags) and made roughly 40 mini bags out of it and they stayed fresh for two months and the popcorn is awesome! People asked for the leftovers.

I ordered this for my dad. I was VERY happy with the quality of this product. Get 2 so you can give each guest enough to enjoy.

You should have enough. I filled about 15 small tins and I had tons left over (more than 2/3 of the bad). I ordered it about 2.5 weeks before the party and had two day shipping. It was fresh for weeks after the party still. Everyone loves this Carmel corn!!!

This bag is large. I think you would get 30 bags from it. Order the first of May. It came very fast!

My daughters birthday was three days before Halloween so I had been buying candy from Sam's in the big bags for both it and her birthday so it is hard to say. If you are looking at buying the smaller bags from Walmart with the chocolate bars and hard candy, etc., I would guess about 5 or 6 of those bags. It holds a lot of candy. The kids had fun trying to get it to break open! Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I ordered these for my sister's party, and they came two months ahead of the date (since I wanted to make sure I had them!) They were still good when I got them out of the bags and put them into little jars to put on the tables. I had lids on the jars, so they weren't open to the air, but still that was a week or so ahead of the party. They were as soft and good at the party as if I had just bought them and that was 8-10 weeks after they arrived at my house.

I had 25 tables at my event. I went around and sprinkled a small handful, 25-30, on each table and still had some left over. One bag should be plenty for 15 tables. They looked really cute on the table. :)

We ordered two bags and we got about 80-100 1x2" sachets. It has been about 6 months since we filled the sachets so I don't remember the exact total off of the top of my head. Our goal was 100 for wedding favors. I think we had at least that many if not it was just a few less.

I have not purchased the 5lb bag, so I cannot say for sure whether it is the same. We purchase the 25 pound bag and store them in zip lock bags in the freezer.

FreshStep makes them in 8 lb bags and they are available at Target. You use 4 pounds in the tray.

Exact number? no idea. I think its more however many they can fit in the bag that measures nearest to a certain weight (1LB-1.2LBs). So really the question is how many are expecting to get? 1000? i seriously doubt there are 1000 coins. i really dont want to say there is more than 100. The bag mine came in was a 9in x 6in bag and it was FILLED up. i am down to 1/3 of the bag and there is about 30-40 left so give or take there is 90-100. But really its a weight not a quantity. it says there are 68 per pound i think that is an absolute, as in, "you will absolutely get a minimum of 68 pieces...plus whatever fills the 1lb-1.2lbs" Exact number? no idea.

I keep a backlog of about 5 bags. No problem with shelf life. To be honest I never look at the expiration date except to make sure I'm preparing the oldest first.

It depends how large your sachets are and how full you want them to be. I filled up 6 or 7 small sachets and the bag is still full. It's a LOT of lavender. You could easily fill 100, unless maybe you want them completely stuffed, but I think that's unnecessary.

I think that would work fine. They are made to keep things fresh. Keeping it in a bag would definitely help keep it more fresh.

If you use the Fresh Step Crystals, it recommends enough to make is 1.5 inch depth in the pan (a bit more than half the bag). If you use the Just Crystals, it comes prepackaged in 4.4 lb bags, so you use 1 bag. I find that I am more satisfied with the Fresh Step crystals as the days go by; plus I can run to Walmart when I'm out and not have to order online like I do with the Just Crystals. Hope this answers your question.

i am pretty sure i got two 13 oz pouches...or 26 ounces all together...which isn't that far off from 2 pounds right if 16 oz. to a pound?...but yes their math is off by 1/2 a pound in product description i guess...i would have to read it again...but anyway it was a good deal compared to my "W(h)ealth Foods store as a friend calls it where they would be happy to take $15 for one 13 ounce pouch...and fresh b/c they are vacuum sealed...hope this helps

It's been a while since I bought them, but I would guess around 150 or so per 5 pound bag. They are fairly large for gummy candy.

It comes in different sized granules, depending on what type is inside of the bag. If it came in a sealed bag, it's probably fine.

I'm afraid I will not be much help. My order was 48 bags ... but do not recall the price. However, I can't imagine I would've ordered 48 if they came by the dozen. For what I was using them for ... I didn't think I needed 4 dozen. But, I can tell you -- they are really nice!

I bought a bag for Christmas year before last and I don't remember the exact amount but I remember being disappointed haha. There were maybe 10-12? They tasted ok..not stale, but not particularly fresh either.
