    Got some in Blockbuster the other night but 55p is a bit steep for a bar of chocolate even though they are very nice

    my daughter brought me one last night for 'afters' :)

    but I've no idea if they're the same as they used to be :confused:

    I forgot all about it, & found that during the night some thieving b****** had nicked it, & left a bizzarely-shaped but otherwise ordinary chocolate bar in it's place on the table in the sunny South-facing bay window of my living room :mad:
  • Home Bargains had plenty for 38p each, today.

    I wonder if they'll have them in the local Costco? I hope so!
    Costco Birmingham had pallets of them at £15.80 a box which is a very reasonable 33p a bar.

    Wow - looks to be quite a variation in the prices charged for this "scarce" commodity. This creates a whole new challenge - who sells the least/most expensive Wispas? :think:

    There does seem to be a big price variation. I found some myself for 45p in a newsagents in Altrincham, Cheshire. I went to a Woolies and asked them, the guy on the checkouts looked at me as if I was crazy and said he hadn't seen any for years but they had Aero. NOT THE SAME! :)
