I wish people would stop making nasty comments about being cheap skates especially for buying a £2 box of chocolates which have been reduced from £6 , I have , thanks to hot UK deals gone into town today and bought a box of these and put them away for my daughter's birthday, I'm sure she will love them.
FWIW I earn £39 a week cleaning toilets on a Monday Wednesday and Friday night and out of that money I have to dress myself ,clothes ,shoes, toiletries ,makeup ,glasses ,the dentist and I have three children I do their Christmas and birthday presents out of it ,also my husband's birthday, Father's Day ,Valentine's Day and wedding anniversary, my husband's wages pays the bills and food.

On the plus side in less than 2 years we will have completely paid off our mortgage 4 years early, do not owe anybody a penny of debt, no overdrafts, no store cards, no credit card bills.
You do not have to spend a fortune to celebrate special occasions, that box of chocolates will not be the only thing that my daughter gets, but she isn't spoilt, the other presents I have got for her birthday are the Soap And Glory set from Boots when they went down to half-price after Christmas, another deal that was posted on this website which was Tresor in Love perfume for £20, plus a silver and tanzanite bracelet I bought in the Argos clearance section of jewellery reduced from £70 to £16 and its beautiful.
I must also be a mug as another poster suggested, as I also bought the Costa mug mentioned by another poster as a put away for fathers day present.

Can all the people who are sneering at a £2 box of chocolates as presents please zip their gobs shut as some of us have to be very careful with our money

totally on your side, they're not a £2 box of chocs, they're still the £6 box that happens to have been reduced. I keep an eye out all year for bargains, with an eye to gifts for people for xmas, and they go in a cupboard so I don't have to find too much extra cash in December. I've often done half my xmas shopping in the sales after xmas the year before! We're all on this site to save money after all!

Argos have these in the sale quite often,what happened to Thorntons,they can hardly be seen as a quality brand any longer as they sold in so many cut price stores.

Mother's Day sorted.


More than I wanted to spend, but what the heck!
You only live twice.....................I hope.

£1 niw! but no stock nesr me ; (

I do apologise for the shut your gob part of my comment that wasn't directed at anyone in particular , sorry because as people have said everyone is allowed an opinion not just me

Thorntons choc is worth 10 pence at best. Vile.

These are currently 10p a box in Iceland! Couldn't believe it!

http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/thorntons-premium-collection-336g/p/59927

No stock in my nearest . good find op , heat added

I thought it was a good buy too! Have reserved one to use as a raffle prize at the weekend. Might get another for the workies.

Great deal, not sure if this is across all stores but my boxes were BBE dated 31/3/16 which might be the reason for the reduction. Am sure they'll taste fine but just a note if giving gifts.

Well I thought they were well worth two quid. Even though we didn't like the alcoholic flavoured ones or coffee ones. Good buy. Good price

sold out everywhere near me

None in Dorset.

brilliant find

I absolutely agree with bellajoy - well done - why should we waste our hard-earned cash on lining the pockets of the greedy shareholders of retail companies. As a pensioner I'm all too well aware that profits are exorbitant but am damned if I'm going to let these greedy so-and-so's rip me off. If everyone adopted bellajoy's attitude, we'd have a much fairer society. Keep it up bellajoy and lets all learn from her savvy attitude!

THANKS

27 chocolates in this 336g size. All three I picked up have a 31/3/16 expiry date (not a problem for me though) :smile: Thanks again.

Thanks for posting OP, heated :smile:

Just to let you all know that they definitely don't taste near to their sell by date. Hubby just opened a box :smiley: yum

Depeche Mode quote placed randomly in a comment, wonderful (DM fan here) :stuck_out_tongue:

I found that stock appeared in Sauchiehall Street first (Glasgow), then Stockwell Street later on, so I will pick up from the latter.

One for me, one for mum, one for my sis :smiley:

Thank you. Heat added. Managed to bag 5 boxes :smiley:

Keep checking stores as all my local stores were out of stock all day Cwmbran, pontypool, Abergavenny Newport and more but all stores now in stock

Shop assistant reminded me on Friday to search again as reservations expireafter 48 hours. Bagged one earlier. Beware of short expiry date - mine says 31/3/2016!

Two boxes collected from Aldershot- Many Thanks OP--HEAT ADED

Indeed,but mine was lighthearted with a smiley face,I didn't tell anyone to shut their gob :smirk: but I won't be returning to this thread now,it's getting far too serious over some cheap chocs.

Be fair, she just expressed her own view just as you did. You both have the equal right.

Completely nonplussed.....perhaps I'm missing something here, but I can't see anything offensive about your opinion.

stock in Bristol now, none this morning, don't think I've ever seen that happen so quickly at Argos.

Even found a review of the Premium Collection here http://www.chocolatemission.net/2011/01/january-14th-thorntons-premium.html

Just checked my local stores again, all 10 were in stock when I first posted but only one store had them left this morning. Now 3 have so must either had more stock delivered or people haven't collected. Thanks for the tip :smiley:

Some came back in stock near me, wahoo! Nothing showing last night.

For anyone wondering what the selection contains it's "An indulgent collection 27 Truffles, Pralines and Mousses including our special Love Thorntons milk chocolate. Marc de Champagne Truffle, Heavy Hazelnut, Amaretto Truffle, Orange Truffle, Crunchy Praline, Love Thorntons, Dual Layered Praline, Caramel Divine, Vanilla velvet, Raspberry Canache, Café Latte. Chocolate Mousse. Caramel Meltaway".

"Out of stock"

Colour me surprised...

totally on your side, they're not a £2 box of chocs, they're still the £6 box that happens to have been reduced. I keep an eye out all year for bargains, with an eye to gifts for people for xmas, and they go in a cupboard so I don't have to find too much extra cash in December. I've often done half my xmas shopping in the sales after xmas the year before! We're all on this site to save money after all!

Unfortunately out of stock in all Nottingham stores

None in Watford Waterfields store

Thanks OP. Reserved yesterday and collected today.

none in Bristol

Don't worry about the short date. I have personally taste tested each choc. and they are perfectly fine.

You're welcome. :smile:

Still in stock near me

OOS

very short date hence the price.

Argos have these in the sale quite often,what happened to Thorntons,they can hardly be seen as a quality brand any longer as they sold in so many cut price stores.

Not expired, I know most stores have sold out but my local have them still

Nom nom nom... I had choc hopes.... but unfortunately it's out of stock at all stores in the nearest 3 miles (don't have a car). Nice if you can get it! Or two.... eat one on the way home. Mmm...

Why not spoil your mum this Mother's Day with our fantastic promotion, in store from Wednesday 2nd March. Pick up a box of Thorntons Premium Collection Chocolates

Great price. Heat added. This looks quite good for £4 also:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3923919.htm

Oos in surrounding bedford area...

Thanks for posting. Great offer. Shame about the date as could buy a few to go with presents or to take to friends when invited over.

Still stock in Abergavenny and Pontypool stores near me.
Hope Argos are paying the OP commission on helping to clear these ,as all the stores near me had them in stock when this was first posted , now just the two :smile:

Its old Christmas stock cheek asking that price same as galaxy its a selection box , tescos cleared them for a £1 after xmas

I wouldn't dare give as present with short date Tesco normally have them half price £3 will long date on them

£1.50 at local tesco garage :wink:

OOS in the York area but good find.

Shame it's Thorntons, awful stuff these days

When I was training as a baker/pastry chef Thorntons chocolate always got compared to the sensation of eating a ball of lard. Nasty cheap low quality chocolate that uses unnecessary ingredients (fat) to cheapen their recipes.

No stock Wakefield, Dewsbury, Huddersfield areas.... S**t luck but heat for great find.

>>>>>
Your safe! Mothers day and any birthdays in March covered!!

lol@ peeps still giving them as Mothers Day & Easter gifts with a Christmas theme on them & short expiry dates.you really are fully fledged HUKD tight asses :laughing:

Greedy barstools by me have eat 'em all. :disappointed:

Oh just presumed it worked as I tried with a few random stores.

Doesn't work - it asks you to select the store you intend to collect from and then comes up with 'Unavailable'.

Heat from me but can't find any stock in the West Mids :disappointed:

Description on website is a bit suspicious.....

"Our finest assortment of praline, truffle and mousse filled chocolates.(not included)."

Alcohol-free recipe

We create a wide range of yummy products with added alcohol centres (such as our Marc de Champagne truffles or Whisky Truffles). Alcohol can also be present (at very low levels) where it is used as a solvent to carry flavourings. Where used as a carrier alcohol does not require require listing as an ingredient, but we do take it into account under our ‘Alcohol-free recipe’ label.

A large majority of our chocolates are created using alcohol-free recipes, though these are produced on the same machinery and in the same vicinity as products made with alcohol-containing recipes.

Products made without any alcohol-based ingredients are indicated on packaging and on the website as ‘Alcohol-free recipe’.

Good price got these when they were £3 but really didn't like them somehow! Same with the mint ones that were £1.99! Think Thorntons make the ones for third party sellers extra rubbish!! BUT amazing price if you ain't too fussy!! :smile:

Thank you reserved x
