what you gonna wait till easter for! Its chocolate for gods sake its for eating not saving!!

NOt at all unreasonable. If they last until easter then you are saving loads cause the prices go up and up until easter so grab a bargain....in fact grab 2 buy double everything keep one set actuall until easter and pig out on the spare set

No sounds like a bargin, fair play....although depressing as xmas has just finished.

Urrgghhh - I hate "bargain" chocolate because I can't resist it and then I stuff myself stupid until I feel sick. Now I know about this, I'm going to find it really hard to resist going into Woolies.

After Xmas, my choccie haul included 5 big boxes of Lindt D'Or for £1.45 each (instead of £6), giant Roses tin for £4.99, 2 tins Quality Street for something ridiculous like £2.50 each, 3 boxes of After Eight for 49p each (!) and several large tubes of Smarties, Revels, Minstrels and M&Ms for 50p each

Hmmm ..... I thought, they're all well in date, will nibble on these until mid-June ....

..... I think there are now only a couple of boxes left and most of it's down to me. I daren't weigh myself.

Is £1 for an Easter egg a bargain? Aren't they often 99p and then you see 3 for 2 etc?

hairycaterpillar · 12/01/2008 14:50

These were big flake/choc orange/maltesars/crunchies etc. I think they are usually nearer £3-5 each. They flew off the shelfs. Staff put them out as I entered the shop and by the time I left there were about 2 or 3 left! Obviously I didnt by them all...just 3!
