in It's gone, but was it any good?
In my Thorntons/Hallmark shop they have short dated bags labelled "Thornton factory clearance chocolates." These are 200g for £1.99 (not often in stock 'cos they want to sell the full price things I guess) very yummy but not good for the waist!

    Keep an eye out as they sometimes have these on BOGOF at the factory shops - you can grab a few extra then as they usually have good BB dates.

    Thorntons usually always have the factory mis shapes in store...and as said,they are often on BOGOF...as for home bargains the bags of chocolate bars are also thorntons...i think they are 99p as well...usually full of lemon mousse bars but well worth it

    Just checked, Loughborough is your nearest. Not sure how helpful that is though!
