    Ta. They must really make a fortune off these.
    They cut out a little bit each year (11 sweets last year). Wonder what the cut is this year?

    This is still pretty cheap per kilo, compare it to other chocolates or standard bars per kg. A mars/twix/snickers all show as 58g on tesco, so that is 14.65 bars in the tub, so 34cent per bar/58g

    In the 80's & early 90's these tins costed a fortune, far more per kilo than bars. Now they are a cheap alternative to bars.

    I didn't see any similar size tins/tubs of heros or celebrations in my tesco, there are too many duds in roses & quality street for my liking, while I gladly eat all the heroes/celebrations.

    I see online it shows them, but I saw none yesterday in mine.

    Not sure where the EUR13 plus price comes from. I think they have intentionally inflated the price so they can knock 50% off and claim it's a bargain.

    No way would they be worth EUR13.

    Well no other supermarket is selling those size tins for 5 euro.

    You can buy a 350g box of Roses in Supervalue for 3 euro 15 cents,or in Spar for 4 euro 99 cents,but I dont seen anyone else currently selling the large tins for a fiver.

    Closest to Tesco so far is Costcutter at 6 euro 40 cents for the same size tin of Roses or Quality Street

    Thats why I bought them in Tesco this evening

    Don't think they have been at 13 euro yet this year since they made their reappearance a couple of months ago.
    Watch out for the fresh turkeys that only come out the week or so before Christmas with 50% off already!

    The lowest I saw last year was €4.50 I think in Tesco and BuyLo. I cannot remember seeing them get to €4. Plus commodity prices have risen substantially this year so a fiver might be as good as it gets. I wouldn't put anyone off stocking up at these prices.
