Roses - 753g

Quality Street - 780g

€6.00 until 2nd November in Tesco

IIRC these got down to a fiver last year pre Christmas?

Any other place have any of the ones listed in the thread title on special at present i.e. €6.00 or below ?

Can I suggest that any mention of how big they used to be or how whatever price is or isn't a bargain be left out of this thread.

We all know how big they used to be any how much they all used to cost in fairness.

Anyone else agree?

No.

I like the new plastic tubs as the 'shrinking' cadbury's roses was taking up a ridiculously small amount of the big tin as they reduced the volume in them year after year. They started off around 1.5kg's and are now just half that.

With the cutting of costs with the new packaging I'd imagine we will see them down to circa €4 by some retailers for Christmas. I bet we will even see a €3.99!

So long as everybody remembers too that the Roses aren't as nice as they used to be and don't give me any. Quality Street FTW.

lashofeye · 30-10-2014 12:16AM

Yes. Sort it out Cadburys.

Get the lovely Velvet Caramel one back in the green wrapper - the coffee one is an imposter!

vicwatson · 30-10-2014 02:57PM

Roses and Celebrations are €6.00 in Supervalu at the moment (don't know until when)

Ok so we'll close down EVERY BA thread that points towards getting things in early for Christmas for those perhaps on a budget

If you don't like it or it doesn't appeal to you then don't bother posting. Simples.

Yea , love the caramel velvet! I remember last year someone offering me a sweet and I went straight for the green one, thinking it would be lovely caramel, didn't even bother to read the little card as I didn't think anything would have changed, was not a nice taste to get when I realised it was coffee:mad:

Dunnes Stores are selling celebrations roses heroes and quality street are €6.00 until 12th November

Edit - as have Supervalu

kn · 09-11-2014 08:58PM

They'll be going for €4 in the run-up to Christmas - mark my words......

maringo · 09-11-2014 09:29PM

Last year they were on offer all over for €5 coming up to Christmas. Bit too early to be buying - I'd end up buying twice over - no sweets in the house are safe

slave1 · 18-11-2014 06:43AM

Aldi, Nov 23rd, Roses tin, 753g, €4.99

vicwatson · 18-11-2014 09:47AM

And so it starts !!

slave1 · 18-11-2014 10:02AM

You know I used to love Roses but they changed that lovely large green caramel guy to a coffee flavour instead and although I like the odd cup of coffee I can't stand coffee chocolate and can taste the coffee off the rest of the chocolates in the tin so am done with Roses.

I'm a Heroes man now

lmkman · 18-11-2014 10:38AM

Roses are €5.49 in my local Eurospar.

There's a shop in Blackrock in Cork called Meadow Grove.

They are doing the Roses for €4.99 or two for €9.00.

Just looking at their fb page, and they also have plenty other bargains there.
