Tubs of Roses - shrinkflation

[ClubMan]

Definitely not me because:

1. They'll be out of date then, even the Quality Street.

2. This thread will have surpassed the 10k target the suppliers set me for a lifetimes free supply ( subject to fair usage ).
No squealing to the mods now please

Don't you already own your own factory producing such treats?

 

[charlie007]

Maybe so, but nothing tastes better than a freebie.

Looks like no Roses tubs to be got for next Friday, which seems a shame.
However Black Magic 348g are just €5, €4 with vouchers, in Dunnes.
Also Milk Tray 530g ( because the lady luvs 'em ) €6 Clubcard price in Tescos.

Your hips and sugar levels will be pleased

 

[charlie007]

100% orthopedic cover and blood sugar levels acceptable, so those bases covered?!
And even though I started this thread on Roses, I really like Black Magic, even the inferior mix they've changed to in recent years.
So....There's a loud clue

On a chocolate theme, Tesco selling bottles of Baileys 700ml for €10 ...normally €22

 

[charlie007]

Ta. I just picked one up for that.
Of course you should never pay €22 but I reckon €10 is as cheap as it will ever be?!

 

[charlie007]

Coming near that time again!
But as a taster Milk Tray 530g, €6.50 in Tesco until Wed 20th August.

I ordered 2 boxes of the Milk Tray last night to be included in a delivery this afternoon.
However I've just received my receipt showing them not available, so wouldnt be making any special trips?!

When I saw the thread title I thought it had some thing to do with Ryan Tubridy and his (multiple) associations with the Rose of Tralee!

The guy who used to stalk and break into some woman's bedroom to leave unsolicited gifts?

 

[charlie007]

There off...Quality Street, Celebrations and Heroes tubs all €6.50 ClubCard price in Tesco.
It also appears the tubs have gotten smaller again.
Form an orderly queue now.

@charlie007

You might be pleased to know that SuperValu appear to have the tubs @ 2 for €8 for Real Rewards price from Thursday, 9th Oct to Sun 12th Oct.

Appear to be limited to 6 tubs per customer in case you intend clearing the shops out

Ad which came by email shows Roses, Celebrations, Heroes and Quality Street. Happy munching.

Cadbury need to start putting enough cocoa into the mix so that it can actually be called chocolate. It's vile.

 

[mathepac]

Sugar and chocolate extract/esence/flavouring much cheaper than the real thing. No accusation here, I'm just sayin' like!

I'd love to find a tin from 20 years ago and compare ingredients. My guess is sugar content is up and cocoa content is way down

 

[JoeRoberts]

cocoa content is way down

There is no disputing that. Hence they use Cadbury but can't use chocolate in the description. I think palm oil is the substitute.
