Cheapest chocolate coins 2008?

I've had a look and although there were threads on this in the past there doesn't seem to be one on the best value chocolate coins to be had this year.

I need some so will be doing the rounds and will post my findings here. Please add better bargains you've spotted!

Thorntons: 80g bag (mixed size) for 99p = £1.23 per 100g

(However my local one - Wimbledon - is doing 3 for 2, which by my maths means they're 82p per 100g)

  • Wilkos has bags of chocolate coins (milk choc with a gold wrapper, or white choc with a silver wrapper), buy one get one free, so it's two bags for £1 (or 99p, can't remember which)
    In a better financial position than ever before (thank you MSE!). Moved back to Scotland and now trying to keep debt-free!
