    Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate with generous chunks of cranberry and granola - 49g bars for 19p or 200g bars for 69p. I bought one of the small bars yesterday and went back for more today. They are so yummy. Best before April 09 but not a problem in my house. These were in Prenton store and the one in Liverpool city centre opposite BHS.

    New store opening in Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham:j. Spotted this today - its the old Woolworths and they are advertising for staff but no date as to when it opens.

    I don't know Birmingham is this anywhere near the chocolate factory or the NEC
    me and hubby are coming to Birmingham in November and I would really like to visit a homebargains ( I lead such a sad life lol )
  • Tescos are offering them for something like £1.24 from today for a bit, so hold your horses on that one.

    Tesco offer on these ends tomorrow ( started on 12/03 according to the website)
  • Hope this works I'm a newby.:j

    bought some lovely bargains at telford HB today; shaving gel, face wash and moisturiser from the real shaving co. £1.29 each. Just need to persuade OH that its a man thing.

    :hello: yeah my first message (or is it called a post?)

    chemsley wood isnt near here however there is home bargains in northfield on the bristol road which is about 5 mins drive from Cadbury world, also one on the A34 at the Perry Barr One stop shopping centre or in harbourne.
    hope that helps!
  • packs (not tubes) of pringles crisps 10p, couldn't be bothered counting out 15 so picked up a whole box (£3.50), that should keep the kids going for the next two weeks so long as OH doesn't find them.

    I've seen a few posts about visiting Cadbury World. If you get offered a ticket to visit the Cadbury Staff Shop then take it - when I went the other day then had boxes of 48 creme eggs for £3 - somebody had set the 'best before' year to 2008 by accident so they can't sell them elsewhere. They've had the same problem with double deckers and to compound their problems had made a load of Fruit & Nut with hazelnuts by accident. Not a good day for them!
