by the way Dunnes are restricting the boxes of sweets to 4 per customer or at least per transaction. I presume this is to stop people like me buying 6 tins and then claiming â‚¬7 off with my SuperValu voucher.

They're not the proper coffee ones though - they used to be coffee cremes similar to the strawberry. Now they're coffee truffles, nowhere near as nice

WTF? The coffee truffle is the nicest sweet in the tub. I'd buy a full tub of just those if I could.

I can't understand the outrage.

aw Yea I remember the ones your talking about. I got a box of roses about 3 weeks ago and there wasn't any of them in that, so unless the are bringing out new edition before Christmas you are out of luck

the coffee ones were the only ones that were ever left behind and threw out in my house, no one ever liked them :eek:

murphm45 · 22-12-2014 3:35pm

They're down to €4 in dunnes (well 3.99) for anyone who is still looking for some. Just got a box of roses and quality street in beacon/Sandyford in case anyone cares!!!

Enjoy!!

kn · 22-12-2014 5:19pm

Yip. €3.99 in Dunnes.

Gits_bone · 22-12-2014 5:20pm

Just back from Dunnes and they're still €4

Very tempting but I resisted!!

TireeTerror · 24-12-2014 8:31pm

Just a word of warning for anyone who bought the Roses in Dunnes. Although they are advertised at €3.99, when they were scanned they were being charged at €13.90 which is what I was charged until I checked my receipt and went back in to be refunded the difference. I got them to scan them again just to make sure and they came up as €13.90 so its highly likely this could have been going on all day or even longer. This happened in the Dunnes in Dundalk.

tantipie · 24-12-2014 9:24pm

2,99 in dunnes todayy

Cats.Whiskers · 25-12-2014 11:30am

Thanks, I need to discretely top up the quality street as I ate at least half the tin last night.

If I keep this up, the caramel barrel will be making a reappearance in the new year in the form of my belly ;-)

vicwatson · 22-10-2015 2:48pm

I know I know, it's early, tell the bleedin' supermarkets !!

However...

Supervalu email

"Remember the big tin?........It's back

Nestle Quality Street Tin 1.315 Kg"

€8.00 TODAY only with your rewards card !! Though I'm sure they'll be still selling them at €8.00 tomorrow too as there is no way they'll sell out today !!

matchthis · 22-10-2015 9:47pm

Picked up 2 tins and there was still loads left. They'd have to keep it on for longer. Didn't even see it advertised anywhere

kn · 22-10-2015 9:57pm

I notice the Roses tub is smaller again these days - down to 700 and something grams.

Quackster · 23-10-2015 12:57am

The 780g tubs of Quality Street and rapidly shrinking tubs of Roses were two for a tenner in Dunnes last week. Am sure that price will be repeated again before long.

Seen them in Supervalu last night. I will admit, I was tempted with it. But I don't think I could actually bring myself to buy them this early in the year (and not have them all ate before Christmas even starts!). Anyway my local Supervalu weren't in a rush to sell them, they were neatly tucked in under a display table!

That have done something to the Roses, they taste greasy like to much oil added to them. Wont be buying them again.

Its soya, and its to reduce manufacturing costs as cocoa has got quite dear.

The cocoa epidemic is worse than global warming at this stage :mad::pac:
