   Does anyone have an idea of where to find 900 ceramic coffee mugs with a healthy pattern, (fruits, Veges, etc. It`s for a nurses seminar) at a cost of $.90 or less per each. I`m putting together a gift basket order and need to keep my costs down. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to your local dollar store and talk with the manager or owner. They should be able to get this for you and you should also be able to negotiate the $.10 discount per item because of the quantity. I have even negotiated deals for items in quantity thru Walmart and have ordered directly from a local store, but I am not sure that they, or any of your major chain stores, will be able to get down to the $.90 each. The dollar store should have close out info and should be able to help you.

I would also be willing to help... there are a variety of overseas sources that could provide them.  The cost of importing may require you to take more than the 900 you require but the cost could be substantially lower than .90.

You may contact me at digster868@aol.com.  This is not an advertisement as I do not do this for a living but I am willing to help any entrepreneur get started.

Yes I to think a dollar store is your best bet. If you order from a bulk supplier I would sample their products before I purchased 900 of them.

Good Luck,
Gail

I looked at dollardays.com..notta, orientaltrading.com, notta but i just found.....http://www.discountmugs.com/usa/coffee-mugs-7102-b asic.htm . You can get imprinted for .67 cents - .71 cents with a small setup fee, it would run about .80 cents a cup with any imprint, healthy...logo etc. It has a 5-7 day turnaround. Hope this helps.
