The Official Roses/Heroes/Quality Street/Celebrations et al Thread

Unless they are smaller tubs, they were a fiver in tesco Carrick last week. Still, imagine trying to live with tubs of chocolate in the house until christmas and not eating them. Never going to happen.

Typical Dunnes. No supermarket pushes ****e food as much as them. Their special offers are invariably made up of 75% chocolate, crisps and coke

€8 is not a bargain.

Someone might want them now, and not have to hang on months until christmas week. Some people like the small size.

476g without wrapper i think it said,yeah they seem less for more

that is a huge reduction if correct. Celebrations were 750g without the wrapper last year. The only celebrations I see on tesco online is a 70g pack for 1.99, so 28.43 per kilo

A 4 pack of twix is 1.50 in tesco, which is an ok price, though only 40g. Its the cheapest twix per gram at 9.40 per kilo. If the celebrations are still 750g and 8 euro its not that much more at 10.70 per kilo.

Only the heroes one appears to have christmas packing too.

I now definitely think it must be more than that. I see 450g pouches here in dublin airport, €10.60 BTW

Are they still the same size as last year, or have they put the tins/tubs on a diet again since last season?

I know at the end of August Dunnes were bags of sweets and whilst there was less on them than the tubs they worked out better value with the special offer!

Heros are a fiver there this week

heroes were a fiver the other day in mine, there was a yellow sticker, not sure when it ended. But quality street show for 5 online now, with no mention of it being an offer.

http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=293416515

heroes & roses tubs are not showing in searches. Celebrations are €7, and there is a "sweet champions" tub for €5 which is 750g

Supervalu have the 1.3kg tins (i.e. proper metal) of Quality Street on special for €8.

These are the tin weights
1.273kg e net & 1.315kg inc. wraps

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=284743930

this is the standard plastic tub
Pack Size: 726g
750g inc. wraps

So the tin is 1.753 tubs worth of chocolate. So if the €8 tin was the tub size it would be €4.56.

So the tin seems slightly better value, but once I open either its gone in 3 days.

Haven't seen a tub of celebrations, just quality street in any Eurostar I've been to

quality street 750/726g tub is 4.95 in tesco, I noticed there was a new one this called honeycomb, presumably like a crunchie. Then I saw they still had those toffee pennys so did not buy it.

4.95 +100 dentist bill can feck off.

QUALITY Street lovers have slammed the confectioner’s decision to replace a much-loved sweet with a new chocolate.

The Toffee Deluxe, which has been included in Quality Street boxes for decades, has been replaced by the new Honeycomb Crunch.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1838621/quality-street-introduces-new-honeycomb-chocolate-but-ditches-old-favourite-toffee-deluxe/

actually found the new one and its not just crunchy but small bits.



I don't recall the toffee deluxe, you'd swear they got rid of the purple ones with all the online articles.

Tesco down to €4.95 for these apparently

yeah saw them last night. I also saw one or 2 tubs of roses with different pictures on the front. They were the same weight but not sure if the selection was the same. The new style tub I saw had all them listed & named on the back, while the other did not. I wondered if it was different sweets.

This was the new one


Be good if they did tubs of the better ones, or a mix of 2 of the better ones. I know they did them in cartons but they were very dear, like just purple ones, might have been quality street doing them.

Doing my nut, anyone know where I can get the heroes tubs, you know the large ones not the pouches they have in tesco?
I thought they'd be all over the place but no...

I was in Dunnes at the Ilac yesterday and they had all tubs available. 4.75 each too so the cheapest I'd seen them so far. I got the Heroes and Celebrations.

heroes and celebrations have no "duds" for me, roses & quality street still have duds. I think some people are still blinded by the old mentality that rose and quality street used to be relatively expensive and "special" and so put a higher value on them. I have seen people sneer at celebrations/heroes saying they are "just" small versions of the bars. But they are still usually a lot lower price per kilo than the bars.

tesco QS is 4.95 per 750g tub, 726g without wrappers which is 6.82 per kilo of chocolate. Don't think I saw these in my tesco though.

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=293416515

Tesco have tins 1.273kg of QS without wrappers for 8euro , 6.28 per kilo

Quatity St €4 in Tesco now

I got Celebrations in Aldi Santry about an hour ago plenty left. They also had Quality Street......
