Buying whole bag at almost wholesale price is the best bargain for big events such as school (good behavior/outstanding) rewards, birthday party, church or any encourage events! Buy a whole bag price will include extra shipping weight due to its bulky size & weight (so the "Best Way" USPS flat rate of $2.99 will be overrided because it takes more than $2.99 to ship a whole bag - just a common sense. The extra shipping fee b/c of weight will be add to the standard USPS $2.99 for the REAL freight + packing/labor fees but when you look at the grand total, we should beat everybody's price still!)
