    Perhaps another trip up town for me as i cant understand why my store is still selling it for full price when all the others are half price or do you think i should ring them first

    Does anybody know how long this offer is in the shops because i really want a couple of boxes for gifts

    Thanks

    M and s have a good box on special offer at £2.99 which is identical to Thorntons

    You took the words right out of my mouth. They are £2.99 for 390g which is slightly more than half the weight of the £5.95 box (740g) in Thorntons, so buy two for £5.98. Only 3p dearer and probably exactly the same as the Thornton ones as M&S sell Thornton type choccies in the bags alongside the checkouts. Grab them while you can. So £5.98 for 780g or £5.95 for 740g. The mint collection is only 505g for £5.95.
