Jelly cubes

Hi
My Mum has asked me to get her some strawberry jelly, but she will only use jelly cubes and has decided that the Hartleys ones at 59p are 'too expensive'.
I've had a look round but can't find them any cheaper or any other brand only the crystal ones.
Before I just buy the Hartley ones and pretend I got them cheaper (anything for a quiet life) has anyone got any ideas.
Thanks

    I know you used to be able to get supermarket own make jelly cubes but just did a quick search and I could not find any. Seems crystals are most common now.

    If it was my mam I would just say this is how much they cost, pay it or do not have it.

    Or go for the quiet life and lie lol

    Asda do strawberry jelly (cubes) for 31p
    I don't think Tesco or Sainsbury do a value brand any more

    I bought Tesco's own brand not too long ago. :/

    Anyhow if they don't do them anymore, Home Bargains and Poundland are good for Hartleys Jelly too

    Popped into FarmFoods this morning for some frozen summer fruit and spotted Hartley's Jelly (the cube sort) at 39p each or 4 for £1. Should keep your mum happy!

    Thanks everyone, I actually found them in Farm Foods myself and at 4 for £1 Mum will be happy. Unfortunately, despite having more than enough to live on my Mum still thinks it's war time and my poor dad doesn't get to eat the things he likes unless mum can get them reduced. Goodness knows what the next thing will be, so far this year it's been curry sauce, bath salts, bread sauce mix and now jelly. She seems to forget I work full time and thinks I can spend every day running errands for her.
    However she is still my Mum and has a long history of mental Heath issues so I'll forgive her.
  • Hartleys jelly cubes in Farmfoods are currently 4 for £1 dated to Jan 2015, I got some this morning
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
