Ok after answering a question recently on roses and quality street i fancied buying a tin… question is has any one else found it a problem finding the tins of Roses in supermarkets? All tescos and sainsburys have the deals of 2 for £9 but only ever seem to have the quality street or celebrations. Ive been to 8 supermarkets now and none have any.. I refuse to buy the tins from places like woolworths or little shops as they charge like £7 for one tin! Well anyway i bought a tin of quality Street and what a load of shite!! The tin advertises "2 new chocs". Well one is simply a block of milk chocolate!! OOO the thought and imagination gone into that is pathetic! No coffee ones, no toffee nut ones. Absolute shite! I hope Roses havent changed too much also, when i actually find a tin!!
ok it was a bit of a rant i admit.. just got fed up with driving to 3 different towns to find some roses! And im annoyed that the quality street i bought as a substitute is shite! Anyway ill get off my soapbox now….
As a Chocoholic I completely understand your frustration!! I’ve had the same problem as I prefer Roses best. I actually did get a tin from Woolies where I live but they were £5.99. They don’t seem to be doing any deals for 2 anywhere apart from Quality Street or Celebrations. I bit the bullet and paid the £6 for the Roses and also bought a couple of boxes. They’re doing 2 big boxes for £4 in Tescos so yes I’ve spent a tenner but ended up with nearly 2.5 kilos of chocs.
last year they were selling Roses chocs in a 2.5 kilo tin for £7 or £8 which was really good so don’t know what’s going on this year!!
The only good that’s come out of it is that I bought the two other tins you can get for £9 which I thought a very suitable amount to spend (if not slightly expensive!!) for a couple of relatives who are very tight themselves!!!! (V & M)

Well I feel your pain…roses are definetly better than celebrations and quality street….quality street are the worst! You can’t beat cadburys for chocolate
I saw tins of roses in my local asda and they have the same deal on so maybe you should try there. Good luck…I hope you find some!
