In Tesco they have tins of Quality Street, Roses, Celebrations & Heros at £10 BOGOF, so effectively £5 a tin.

Is this the best deal they will be before Xmas?

Should I stock up now?

    Yes our Asda have Roses and Heroes at 2 for £10. I would wait personally and also I wouldn't trust myself not to open them too early! ;)

    I agree with poster 2, the closer you got to christmas last year, the cheaper they got, I think also that the cheapest deal was 2 for £7 so I would hang fire for a bit.

    Im sick of Christmas already,

    Cards already in the shops as well as wrapping paper

    Kleene Easy has just shoved their Christmas catalogue through the letter box.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I'm planning on buying them as small gifts for people. I hate people buying me little bits of tat & for £5 you don't get much. But every home can always find room for an extra tin of chocs at xmas.

    I'm sure they were 2 for £7 in Morrisons last year for a couple of weeks, before going to a fiver a tin. So I agree, wait a while before buying them.

    I bought two last year for presents, but couldn't fit them in the envelope with the card. So had to substitute money and eat the chocs myself.

    Another tip is to buy small cards that are only wide enough for a £1 or £5 note but are too little to fit a £20 or £10.

    That's got to be the best tip I have read on this forum :D

    Now here's one for you, brace yourself for all the "£1 note" replies ;)
