Thorntons chocs - 5 for £1 - and more!!!!

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Was in Thorntons today and they had loads of chocolates e.g. Ben 10 lollys, Easter bunny and Easter chick lollys, caramel and chocolate eggs (cream egg size) bags of chocolate coins, heart shaped lollys, foil wrapped bunny rabbits and creme brule bars etc all at 5 for £1. Needless to say, I stocked up for the kids lunch boxes - all with dates to November or December. They also had white chocolate boxed bunny figures reduced to £1, though the milk chocolate ones were still £3.25.

Hope this helps someone (as if we haven't all had enough chocolate) LOL.:j

LOL - No, I'm not that bad!!!!!! :pOur school operates a healthy break and lunch 3 days a week, so on the two days that they are allowed chocolate or biscuits in their lunch box they get a small bar or a wrapped biscuit along with their sandwiches, yogurt and fruit so I thought this might be a nice treat for them.

I am surprised you say for their lunch boxes as here we are not allowed to put anything remotely chocoletly in their lunch boxes, if parents do it gets confiscated:D

We must stick to the healthy break and lunch 3 days, but on the other two we can put what we like in - obviously they have a healthy lunch every day, with the addition of chocolate on two of the days.

I saw the nets of the chocolate foil-wrapped hearts & thought about anyone getting married........each net contains 7 red & pink hearts, so with the "5 for £1" offer, thats 35 hearts for £1!! Bargain, seeing as how they are Thorntons chocs!

You could easily make favours with either single, 3 or 5 hearts & save a fortune!!

Our school has no limits on junk, and some parents feel pressure to include it in the lunch box because 'everyone else has crisps and chocolate'. I'd love a policy like yours, where junk is only allowed 2 days a week :T

My boy is happy with a small cookie or one chocolate coin (I'm so mean!) but he was thrilled when I got 5 for £1 on the hallowe'en chocolate
