    Tescos has 2 tins of Roses/Quality street for £9 (we got 4). I always buy one for use with the justification of that 'the tin is always handy to have for cakes/things'.

    Oh and the chocolate's not bad either....

    I have just been discussing this in work, I always start around now buying an item or two each week(depending on cost) and I have a nice box that i keep in my wardrobe i aim to fill this before christmas, like others i am on a tight budget and if i leave it till last minute we end up with not very much...
    This year the boys will be 5 & 7 so are eating a LOT more.....

    Well I've got a little box of quality street, they're safe from me because I'm a vegan, but if the kids see them...oh and crackers bought in the sale last year. Will buy cranberry and apple sauce this week. x
