heroes were a fiver the other day in mine, there was a yellow sticker, not sure when it ended. But quality street show for 5 online now, with no mention of it being an offer.

Supervalu have the 1.3kg tins (i.e. proper metal) of Quality Street on special for €8.

Eurospar have the ordinary tubs of Heroes, Celebrations etc. for €4.70.

These are the tin weights
1.273kg e net & 1.315kg inc. wraps

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=284743930

this is the standard plastic tub
Pack Size: 726g
750g inc. wraps

So the tin is 1.753 tubs worth of chocolate. So if the €8 tin was the tub size it would be €4.56.

So the tin seems slightly better value, but once I open either its gone in 3 days.

quality street 750/726g tub is 4.95 in tesco, I noticed there was a new one this called honeycomb, presumably like a crunchie. Then I saw they still had those toffee pennys so did not buy it.

4.95 +100 dentist bill can feck off.

QUALITY Street lovers have slammed the confectioner’s decision to replace a much-loved sweet with a new chocolate.

The Toffee Deluxe, which has been included in Quality Street boxes for decades, has been replaced by the new Honeycomb Crunch.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1838621/quality-street-introduces-new-honeycomb-chocolate-but-ditches-old-favourite-toffee-deluxe/

actually found the new one and its not just crunchy but small bits.



I don't recall the toffee deluxe, you'd swear they got rid of the purple ones with all the online articles.

Dunnes doing 4 for €20 and is mix and match offer. Tubs are the standard plastic ones of roses, heroes, quality street and celebrations. You could also choose 18 cans of Pepsi, club orange and 7 up as one of the items. There was also a box of King crisps with the offer.

I got celebrations, roses, quality street and box of King for €20

They were yesterday anyway. Quality streets heroes celebrations. I think roses too but didn't spot it until I was heading out.

yeah saw them last night. I also saw one or 2 tubs of roses with different pictures on the front. They were the same weight but not sure if the selection was the same. The new style tub I saw had all them listed & named on the back, while the other did not. I wondered if it was different sweets.

This was the new one


Be good if they did tubs of the better ones, or a mix of 2 of the better ones. I know they did them in cartons but they were very dear, like just purple ones, might have been quality street doing them.

spar selling for 4.75 tub's of roses.

Doing my nut, anyone know where I can get the heroes tubs, you know the large ones not the pouches they have in tesco?

They'd normally be in the less populous supermarkets. Have you tried any Eurospar?

Tesco had the tubs of Heroes last week

DubDJ

I was in Dunnes at the Ilac yesterday and they had all tubs available. 4.75 each too so the cheapest I'd seen them so far. I got the Heroes and Celebrations.

Tesco in Jervis only had Quality street left and nothing else. Hadn't really looked anywhere else.

heroes and celebrations have no "duds" for me, roses & quality street still have duds. I think some people are still blinded by the old mentality that rose and quality street used to be relatively expensive and "special" and so put a higher value on them. I have seen people sneer at celebrations/heroes saying they are "just" small versions of the bars. But they are still usually a lot lower price per kilo than the bars.

tesco QS is 4.95 per 750g tub, 726g without wrappers which is 6.82 per kilo of chocolate. Don't think I saw these in my tesco though.

Tesco have tins 1.273kg of QS without wrappers for 8euro , 6.28 per kilo
