    The €3.33 pricing stays until Christmas Eve, it's pure madness :pac:

    Use the €5 voucher off a €25 shop to get them even cheaper.

    as said the promos can end early, I very much doubt these will remain 3.33 every day from now until xmas eve.

    Anyone seen the Freddo and Friends Tin available for sale in Ireland? Super Valu have them on their website but no stock any time recently in local store.

    I’ve seen them in a few places.
    I find supermarkets can be bad to put up some of the Christmas grocery items.

    no surprise there, sick of this crap, the ASAI deals with online lies too. I was warning people to get them while they can and not believe those dates.

    People will get them in for halloween, sure they are on sale all year round in various sizes. The christmas selection boxes are really only specifically for christmas.

    Some tubs are lighter this year.

    Celebrations Tub 650G (were the same)
    Caddbury Heroes 600G Tub (were 660g)
    Cadbury Roses 600G Tub (seems it was 660g)
    Quality Street Tub 650G (were 720g)

    Heroes are 6 in supervalu
    https://shop.supervalu.ie/shopping/food-cupboard-seasonal-cadbury-heroes-tub-660-grams-/p-1561584000

    here is a post from nov 2018

    So I am not sure about the weights I mentioned, I was looking at the images. Problem is they can give overall weight or chocolate weight, this years QS is 629g of chocolate

    Oh I'm sure they have some clause where they reserve the right to withdraw a promotion at a moments notice which means there'll be little the ASAI can do about it.
