    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:

    CADBURY giant milk buttons 250g for 89p. Home bargains instore
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/snidey-mcsnide-cadbury-giant-milk-buttons-250g-for-89p-home-bargains-instore-2604030

    Thanks very much for this bought some yesterday, the Buttons had the Appleby & Baker branding the someone else mentioned and the broken chocolate was Golden sunrise
    Should come with a warning :eek: If you open the bag (for research purposes only 1f642.png:-) ) they keep jumping out of the bag into your mouth.

    Hi LFAB :)

    SD are terrible for their packing I have often had things sent separately from them. In January Sale I ordered 3 of something and I got 2 in one box and was another couple of days before the single one arrived.

    From memory think you can usually tell from your order history if it is all on it's way.

    :hello: TS

    Good to know it's not just me then! What a daft way of doing things though. Plenty of room for the 3rd in the box I just got.

    A couple of quotes from one woman...

    . I’m definitely more content working fewer days for less money. ...

    I’m lucky that my husband earns a good wage and pays the mortgage and utility bills, as well as covering our holidays. I often have to ask him to clear my credit card bill, too.


    IM sure I would enjoy just working part time if I also had someone to pay my bills for me.
