Feeling sick...
Woolies have a tin of Quality Street, 750g*
for a tenner.
I am about half-way through and it's not even sunset.
*The bastards, (don't let them get you down), have been making the tin smaller and smaller...

Re: Feeling sick...
I'm not allowed to eat chocolate, and am resisting....for now.
Woolies also had Roses on sale in a similar sized tin for $30!!!!
This is so they can then reduce it to $15 and claim it is 50% off. Shysters- who'd pay $30 for such a tiny tin of chocolate anyway??
Always look at the price and decide if you would pay that much for it if it was not in a "sale"/"reduced by x%".

Re: Feeling sick...
I always look at the price per 100 grams. If it's over $1 I keep walking 
Did you say little?

Re: Feeling sick...
Self inflicted gluttony! I have no sympathy whatsoever Badge!
(you pig!)However. I can understand the frustration regarding a smaller tin. Everything seems smaller nowadays, I used to think it was because I had grown into an adult that everything appeared smaller, now I just know it's the companies, i.e Mars who are making everything smaller, the sly gits. It's bloody daylight robbery I tell you!
I think I'll stick to my avocados.

10 dollars for a tin of QS - not shabby by any international price I am guessing.
I also bought a bonzer edition of Tatler and Vanity Fair he he to read whilst I scoffed. They didn't have Playboy in Woolies.

I dispatched the last of the ones that people leave to the end the other day.

Re: Feeling sick...
I have a whole pack of Macvitie's chocolate digestive biscuits in a tin, that have been sitting unopened for two weeks, as I bought them the day I was told I wasn't allowed to eat them.
They are coming with me to the Hunter Valley tomorrow, and will get scoffed in the 3 days we are there- no way I am on a stupid diet when I'm surrounded by wine cheese and chocolate!!
