    If I bought these, they wouldn't last until the end of October, let alone until Xmas!
    Quidco cashback paid out so far £745.89 :j
  • I've bought mine already - & opened them too. Not to eat you understand - it's just that we're a fussy lot, & there's a few that none of us like. So a half-term job for my DS was to sort out all the ones we don't eat into a bowl ready for the trick or treaters next week. Two problems solved :D

    pure quality that. i like it


    sainsburys also had

    2.2kg tins of roses
    2.2 kg tins of heroes

    both were £9.99


    sensations , the large tubs ( 700g) £ 7.99 BOGOF

    i have old dears that live next door to me each side so they will be getting a box of sensations each, i would have given them the roses or quality street but because of their age i doubt they would be able to chomp through most of them, even with leaving the tin by a radiator to soften them up abit.

    Tesco doing the same deal on the tins

    Quality Street 1.3kg
    Celebrations 1.2kg

    2 for £10 (mix & match)


    Do you prefer Roses instead?

    Wilkinson are selling the 1.5kg tins for £7.99 each or 2 for £13

    Went into Mt T's today and saw they've increased the price to 2 for £12 :(
    (It originally said it was a long term offer...and still does :confused: )

    Went to Wilkinsons to see if they had any Roses - none :(

    Went to Somerfield as there is another thread saying Roses are £4.99 - they were but per kilo, so the tin was £7.49 :(

    Ended up in Asda, but no cheap chocs there either

    :confused:

    Off to Sainsburys tomorrow - wish me luck else I might end up buying a tin from my newsagent (Dillons) at £6.99
