Hi all
Im strugerling to find Tins of sweets (Roses, heros, ect)
I know that they have shed some weight this year from 1kg to 850ish grams but i cant seem to find any.
our local tesco has none and our local asda has only quality streets.
any one know any where round Cambridge (cambridgeshire) that has them.
thanks

Is there a reason you want the tins ? An alternative would be the boxes of roses, heroes.
You say you tried the local Tesco and Asda but can you get to the other stores ? Also Sainsburys and Morrisons (try calling these 2 plus Asda since the numbers ware local plus to save yourself a trip)0 -
didnt think of ringing.
we have all 4 but each one is 10 miles in every direction from my house
thought the tins might be cheaper when we have the locusts oops i mean family round over the festive period0 -

Morrisons had them on offer on friday, 2 for £8Bulletproof0

ill get the little one sorted then of to morrisons
thanks for the help people0 -
I bought the cartons when I saw them at various places for £2 a box... I'm sure at the time they worked out better value per 100g than the tins did!
Heroes & Roses in ASDA for £2 if your store has them. They work out 1p per 100g cheaper than the tins. Hope this helps!

Ely had them. When I bought my chocs though, the tins were £5, and the boxes that were half the size were £2, and worked out cheaper gram for gram!0
