    Hi, Just check price, Andover Tesco have these back up to £4.99 from today.;)
  • Thanks Emptybowl!

    I got 16 boxes of these in Abingdon Tescos, they went through at £1.59 a box - I'll hand them out as easter presents instead of eggs!:D

    I went to the Tescos at the Cowley retail park this morning and they had none left :rolleyes: Were there any boxes left at the Abingdon branch Wignula?

    It might be an idea to keep looking.

    I've just been and found a carton with 6 boxes of chocs on top of the shelving unit. Rather cheekily, I empied it out, putting 4 into my trolley and 2 onto the shelf, which prior to my visit, was empty of stock.

    Easy peasy. Lemon squeezy. The manager spotted me and immediately offered me a job. I start full-time on Monday. Hehehehehe. :)

    Wow DocProc! Can't be bad to be headhunted while getting a bargain or two!:j

    Ok I will keep trying. Don't have much hope though. Would order online but I suspect they'd be out of stock and then substituted for something full price:confused:
  • Ahem, Tiara, I might've had them all away...:rolleyes:

    You wouldn't believe the attention my trolley was attracting, people were actually gasping out loud as I walked by because I had so many of them (it did get a little embarassing after a while and with only a loaf of bread to cover them up I wasn't very successful at hiding them)! I only bought 7 (the front carton) at first but thought that at £1.59 I might as well have the rest but when I removed the next carton there was another one behind that and I couldn't exactly leave those there! The shelves might have been restocked now (and maybe there are some still there as they are kind of hidden/discrete).

    They were on the bottom shelf below the smaller Lindt box looking very insignificant and marked at £3.19 - so passers by didn't see what a bargain they were missing! :rotfl:

    Is there any need to be so selfish - by taking all that was available you were taking the opportunity away from someone else benefiting from this bargin.

    You should be ashamed
    Love a charity shop bargain

    lol I can imagine the loaf of bread didn't do a very good job of trying to hide them! I assume they are trying to shift old stock to make way for new packaging :confused: so doubt they will restock them, but thanks for replying, might be worth a look just to check.
