The Christmas countdown begins :innocent:

Hi, popped in Misc for now as I can't see any confirmation of this on site. Unless you have a link at all? Cheers!

Oh! HELLO CHOCOLATE!

stockpile

Awesome, thanks OP!

Great deal OP, have some eat !

And so it begins :smile:

​why do they make chocolate taste sooo yummy and why isn't it calorie free :laughing:

Sugar free would be better.

Oh the pain of the diet

​Mr Nathan ...we need more HUKD'ERs like you. :wink:

Cracking deal

Thanks

Haha thanks buddy. :sunglasses:

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,
Cheaper than Asda which is £4 each

Nice one Nathan, any sign of pringles being £1 again soon ?

How many less this time

good find op, heat added

Thanks - thought it wouldn't be long before the price dropped to this! Heat added!

Thank you.Note made on my diary to pick some up ready for Halloween and Christmas.

The makers of Quality Street are doing their bit to tackle childhood obesity.

I said I wasn't going to buy these tubs of chocolates this year in protest over the reduction in size year after year. I have to say I'm going back on my word, 2 for £7, get in my trolley! :smile:

Large,they ain't been LARGE for years

Better book my dentist appointment then :wink:

Festive. :smiley:

Which tubs are you going for? :laughing:

Me personally, can't beat the Rowntrees one! But then now I need to buy two, so errm Heroes!

I'll be there for 6.30am on Wednesday then to get one of each of the chocolates

FML .... why!!!! getting married in 5 weeks, baby due in 7 weeks . probably not a good idea to stuff my face on choclates

​calorie free sugar free guilt free duty free tax free... :smile:

This is a great price to get ready for Christmas..but...yeah...as if they'll last until then lol :laughing:

I can feel the child in me coming out. Wait for parents to leave the room, eat a chocolate and carefully put the puffed up wrapper back in the box so it looks like none are missing. Look innocent!.

Do offers go live at 00.01? It's not that I'm desperate but I'm a shift worker and could pop in about 3am on Weds morning on my way home if the offer will have started.

out of curiosity does any of you remember how much a 90's/00's tub cost ?

​yes they do!

Brilliant, thanks!

Great posting, heat added :laughing:

Fab Xmas stock up!!

Fab Xmas stock up!!

Current price for a 1.315Kg tin of Quality Street is £7.00 but they usually offer this at around £5 nearer to Xmas. It's a better deal if you can hang on that long !

I wished quality street could start selling boxes of only the caramel cup chocolates

No chance in my house, over three months until Christmas . If I buy them now they'll be gone before the end of this month, great deal but way too early. Heat added thou.

Voted deal hot and got the judge badge thx

Keep them out of reach ! ?

​wilko have Pringles in at 95p

I remember my dad buying one in 1990 and it was £10!

So two new ones = 1 old one so for £7 its cheaper now plus inflation as well £10 then would be £15 now so you could get four tubs for the price of one in 1990

In 1977/78 they were about £4.99 for the large tins, thats what, about £20-30 today?
3 of these are larger than one of the ones back then but cost half the price. so in effect they are cheaper now.

The Quality Street tin of the future! :P

large tubs.... not 1kg

Thanks OP for the heads up..

Lol u might be right

So if I add 2 to my online order now it will the offer price tomorrow?

If my memory services me right, it was 1980's a box was to share between grandparents, parents and children for a week....-> today, one person eats one box per 2/3 days at the most.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring.....they'll be the same price in Morrisons when they get the next allocation.

​No - from Wednesday according to OP. :smiley:

Oh thanks

​Down to the size of a pack of minstrels.

I'm guessing in a few years the 'tub' will be have one single chocolate in it.

EXACTLY!!! :-(

But it's best me not think of this one toooooooo much?, or else I may be inclined to curse this place down!, hmmmmmmmmm. :-(

So I'll refrain and keep my comments to only stuffs like YEP, I agree with their reverse (quote/unquote) 'ploy' ..... :-(

Hahahahahaha, it's a shame that they deliberately chose to resort to such tactics mind?, but ..... (such is life, huh?).

Damn... Just bought two in Asda for £8. Ah well... More chocolate the merrier eh?

35 years ago (1981) the RRP for the 5lb tin was £9.49p.

Just like today it was discounted (although not via a multibuy) and I seem to remember £6.99 being a "good" price throughout the 1980s.

Am certain the tin was kept at 5lbs throughout the decade but there were smaller tins available and I remember
glass jars as well for those who wanted less.

Even though today's "big tin" (plastic) contains less, they are certainly a lot cheaper to buy NOW.

Modern production, cheaper ingredients, multibuys and lower producer/retailer margins are actually giving you much more value.

So even though it takes THREE of today's tins to fill ONE old tin, it is probably costing you half the price in real terms!

But it's not really a good thing for the nation's health. At one time these really were a once a year purchase whereas now they are too easy/tempting/cheap to obtain - particularly with multibuys.

Well you could use the tub for that but you would be better off with a bassinet! :laughing:

Thanks op.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting :smiley:

Less commented on is that the assortment has been changed for lower cost items - for example the Galaxy truffle is long gone from Celebrations, as is Topic, with those expensive hazelnuts. There are similar changes in Heroes. I suspect that the mix has also changed with fewer of those chocolates that are more expensive to make.

Not the start of Christmas already, its 3 bloody months away, sick to death of it by the time it gets here

Absolutely! Hence no more coffee creams in Quality Street and the "purple one" has shrunk.

Quality Street tins used to equal Christmas. Now they flog them as a "round year" treat (like creme eggs!) :smiley:

any discounts for new customers

Excellent, so is this on from midnight tonight then?

Guess so :smiley: You can order today for collection tomorrow from groceries and get the deal price.

Wonder what the sell-by-date on these will be?

I do exactly the same and I'm only fooling myself because I live on my own! Having said that, there are some days that can only be improved by chocolate and if you happen to have a couple of tubs stored in a safe place..... :-)

Yes I agree, I think they were about £10 in the 1990s. My mum and dad used to buy them and I remember them being £10 and thinking how expensive it was!

Here's an ad for the jar at Woollies in 1987. From the Woolworth Museum.



As you say, in real terms, it's cheaper now. But interesting to see the actual price is very similar to this Tesco deal (2x quantity, 2x price).

Just doing an order just now. Does anyone know yet if there is a limit per customer for delivery or click and collect?

Wow - I remember that one. And they also did one that was like the traditional sweet shop jars too.

In fact if my memory serves me correctly you could actually BUY a "quarter of Quality Street" from the sweet shops at one time!

Coop have been selling mince pies for last 2 weeks.!

Well it's the 14th and guess what is stil £5 a tub in tesco?

just got mine,thanks for posting,plenty in ammanford

As per my above previous comment still ...

Hahahahahahaha. :-)

Who cares?, hehehehe. ;-)

I got some at 6.50am this morning. 4 boxes in total.

The ones I picked up had March 2017 on them x

My local never has the Celebrations in store (my fave), only the other three. Amazingly though they turn up in their droves when the offer is over.....

Anyone found any Rowntrees tubs? There don't seem to be any around Brum!

Thank you :smiley:

None on sale in Luton Mall Tesco Express at 13:00.

whats the date on them

None in Leamington Spa Metro.

I've just looked at the 2 tubs of last year's Celebrations that I've kept in the cupboard for 'storage purposes' (HUKD £4 from Tesco last year) - the tubs say 855g each. So down more than 10% this year if it's indeed 750g

Having said that, it's still a better offer. If it's actually available

Loads in my express, Worcester - Because I put them there XD

You think that was good? I bought 4 tubs and a scratchcard from my local store. As the scratchcard won me £50, I walked away with 4 tubs of choccies and an extra £34 in my pocket.

More than paid for my BFH.

That's what I call a bargain! :sunglasses:

I believe I'm owed some percentage for making you go to Tesco :wink:

Use by date is end of April 2017 on heros, end of March on rowntrees and can't find a date at all on the quality street. It says it should be on rim of base but there is nothing. Might just need to open them now just to make sure.

I bought 4 today, these make nice draw prizes (I do a raffle monthly) and always popular. Thank you OP!

What happened to the toblerone in Cadburys heros???!

fantastic! thanks for sharing, that's Christmas
chocolates sorted.

thanks op

Bought another 4 today.
Roses - end of April
Celebrations - end of Feb
Rowntrees - end of March
Haribo - end of july
Thats all the birthdays and some xmas sorted. I am guessing Morrisons will do the same deal soon

Only 1 more day :smiley:

Also I've been made aware that store allocation of these will coincide with how many sales they achieved last year, so no abundance of stock. There also is more offers scheduled, however possibly not like this one. More likely the usual £4 each offer for a good while.
