    Hey Mrs lds- they had them at ours just before it closed at 6 and I'm sure they will be there in the morning, though they were going. I think there were a couple of pallets left.
    That is Chelmsford where mrs lds and I once met after an exciting post about shloer...:beer:

  • Loads left this morning in Cameron Toll, Edinburgh. Lots of Celebrations, Roses & Quality Street, scattered around the store (but mainly beside the freezers). £2.50 for each of the tins. My Roses are dated October 2010.

  • There is no way I am going near a Sainsbury - I would end up with a load of these and more of a waistline instead of less!

    The bb date means nothing, they will be fine to put away for next year if anyone wanted to do that ,the only dates you need to worry about are 'use by' dates not' best before 'dates .

    Yes, it is my hope that the plastic seal will be a psychological barrier preventing a raid before December- I'm putting it with my decorations. The trouble is I know where they are...:o
