    The €8 price in SV is for the large 1.3kg tin, the €6.50 price is for the "normal" 700g tin.

    Just picked up a 1.3kg tin of Quality Street for €8 in my local Centra.
    The staff said the price will most likely go up in a few days.
    Grab 'em while you can folks!

    I Think we'll always say 'I must buy a tin of sweets' Sounds better :P but since the new 'tubs' are no longer made of tin then they have to be called tub of sweets.... I guess a plastic of sweets didn't have the same ring to it as tin :P

    They are 2 for €12 now (Heroes, Roses, Quality Street, Celebrations).

    I think the 2 for €10 was a Friday special or something, but I'd expect them to drop to that again.

    I couldn't be bothered waiting though and just bought them today.
