    Do you have a Home Bargains nearby?

    They sell Golden Sunrise chocolate buttons that are actually repackaged Cadburys Giant Buttons (evident from the Cadburys stamp on the base of them - although that's not obvious on the below photo)

    2604030_1.jpg

    89p for 250g makes it about 35p per 100g for Cadburys chocolate

    They also do 300g chocolate chunks for the same price if you want to go sub 30p/100g

    I only know about it thanks to this HUKD thread from a while ago:

    I'm sure their mis shapes are Thorntons

    The only trouble is.....once opened you have to eat the lot.

    I picked up 5 wombles today. 3 of them are filthy.

    The 2 clean ones are worth nothing but the mucky ones are worth £5.29, £3.40 and £2.27:o
    :rotfl:

    Might have to give them a scrub up:rotfl:

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Found out yesterday that they printed some of our work and put it up in the Foyer at Uni :eek::D 2 of my photo's and another two students work went up :T

    Wow Westie that's something to be proud of, they obviously know talent :T
    Undoubtedly it is, but to read the small print on the sel, I have to remove my specs and then lean in very closely to read the dratted things - and I mean very closely! - which is vaguely embarrassing, and sometimes impossible in the case of items on the bottom shelf as that would mean kneeling on the floor and then someone would have to help me up.... :rotfl::rotfl:

    New specs on order, that'll help, but they won't do much for my knees... :)

    Seren, I'm like you, even with new glasses I have problems with bottom shelf :eek: It's so frustrating especially if the item in question has been on a deal at Mr T and I'm trying to see what date the deal ends or ended, I still can't see the date :eek: and like you if I did kneel down I'd never get up with out help :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Thanks for this.
    I buy the mis shape fingers from there or b&m which are also Cadbury, a large 350g bag for about 69p - 79p depending on where you spot them.
