    Ooh, while I wouldn't eat a tin of Roses myself, they'll make good gifts for some. :)

    Hope there's some left tomorrow.

    This was so funny to watch this morning in Artaine Castle. I was having a cup of coffee before shopping and could see them all coming out with the tins of Roses. One man was running to his car with one set while on the phone to his mate telling him about it. He then kept running back and forward to retrieve other pairs of tins from his kids. You'd think the world was ending. It was a right frenzy.

    I still think the 'two for the price of one' tins of the posh biscuits was a better deal.

    Just been in Tesco Tallaght and i saw two staff walking in the store with two tins each. I asked them where they were and was told there was none left.

    The two boys had two each for themselves.

    Oh my goodness, that explains a lot!!

    I was in my local Tesco earlier and noticed that there were LOADS of people loitering about - as in groups of about 3/4 women every couple of aisles, none of them were chatting away as you'd expect in a supermarket, instead they were looking around them really sketchily.

    I was doing my shopping as per usual, and I noticed that one group were standing around an older lady - who was telling them that "they had a delivery at 2, the next one is at 4 - my husband and I managed to get 12 tins at home.... "

    Madness! If you have to hang around the shop for hours in order to get the bargain in the first place... well that's not much of a bargain to me ;)

    I went down to Tesco today to try and sniff out a tin of Roses.
    None at 6.40 to be found I'm afraid.
    I hadnt been in Tesco in a month or two but I was shocked at the alarming price increases in the items I normally buy there.
    20-30% on alot of items.
    I wont be doing much shopping there in the future.

    True! 2.2kg tin for 12.89 but 30% off (3.87) leaving it at 9.02 today in Tesco. Still rapidly going out the door. Maybe further discount if you buy two but not sure. Should be the same in other Tescos.
