    Quality Street really are the runt of the litter amongst the Christmas choccy tins. They're rubbish, and I'm always really disappointed when someone gives me a wrapped tin, and I tear the paper open to discover it's only QS.

    Not just me then :D


    Tesco may have have cottoned onto this, (first time for everything!) all tins had gone back to £5 in my local one, apart for QS which are still £4...

    Oh No, you have broken my heart :(

    Its not Christmas without Quality Street :T
    A tin always takes me back to being a child with my nan who always had a tin at Christmas

    I have given up on those tins. They do look smaller this year (tapered bottoms on the Roses anyway)
    I remember when you could get a 2kg tin.... Hardly worth buying now.

    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

    Hmph. We only get Quality Street in Canada. Same price every year, but they sneakily went from one kilo to 750g and still anywhere from $12-14/tin.

    This offer won’t return this year, so plan ahead and get yours now!

    The chocs are no longer £4 each at Tesco but from 8/10/2014 until 14/10/2014 they will be on an any 2 for £8 offer. (Quality Street, Roses, Heroes and Celebrations).

    These are currently £4 each at ASDA.
