    What is in the Haribo tin? Haven't seen them before. Might be good for the kids.
  • They're also doing smaller boxes that normally retail for £4 reduced to £2. Also 320g of Maltesers for £2.

    They had them in my local Tesco Metro along with the larger tins.

    I reckon these are slightly smaller tins than last year. Still good value but I thought it wise to let you know.

    I thought so too. Bought a tin of Heroes and the base of the tin is quite a lot shallower than the depth of the sides, if that makes sense, so when we opened the tin it didn't contain as many sweets as expected. (Couldn't wait til Christmas! :o) Still pretty good value for £4 but I probably wouldn't pay more than that, personally.

    Also the tin itself was very flimsy so I chucked it straight in the bin rather than using for storage like I have in the past.
  • They're 2 for £9 at the co-op until Tuesday 9th, if you can't source them at T3scos...

    I'm resisting the temptation :A
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I saw an old Quality Street tin (70s?) recently and it was much bigger than the ones they sell now.

    I bought 6 over the weekend for christmas presents. There were only Heroes, Quality Street and Roses left. Celebrations were also included in the offer but according to a staff member, a customer had been in and purchased 1,000 tubs of Celebrations and wiped them out of those.


    I work for a bank (big call centre) and they do this as its cheaper than wholesale.

    the Celebrations look big compared to the others lol.

    The haribo one has 24 bags in it, i think
