Terry's Chocolate Orange

[Guest Roo1]

In our family its a kind of a tradition to give Terry's Chocolate Oranges to the kids as stocking fillers. I went in search for them yesterday and found them in abundance at the sweety shop at Hallett Cove Mall.

However, I didn't buy ANY as they wanted..........wait for it........ $10 for one!!!!

 

Come on people, $10! How much are they in the UK now? I do understand the price hike for shipping etc but come on, really?

 

AND there was a tin of Quality Street there (highlighted as "from the UK"!!) They wanted $39 for it

 

If anyone knows where I can buy the T.C.O from at a more reasonable price. Please let me know.

 

Ok, feel better now I've got that off my chest.

Merry Christmas! Ba, humbug.........

They sell them at Woollies in Woodcroft Judi, I think they were about $6.50.

Not sure now but coles used to sell them about $6 milk and plain not looked for a while. Try Ritos in colonades they had them also

[Guest Roo1]

Thanks guys. I will go and check those places out. Thats far more reasonable x

[Guest ladyarkles]

Just got back from Woolies and they had them there; didn't notice the price tho!

I went for the Maltesers instead. yum

Coles, Woolworths, probably Foodland, IGA - unless you specifically want one that's been shipped over from the UK at inflated prices... They also sell boxes of the segments individually wrapped here....

They had them in NEDS the other day, only the dark chocolate one, they were $4

[newlife]

Just seen they have 2 for $4 on www.groceryrun.com.au

Thanks, will tell the fiancé, she being Aussie doesn't see the point in them but I've had one every year for Xmas as long as I can remember, the sound of bashing one on the floor to break it into segments is music to my ears on Christmas morning

I got my box for nothing Coles had them on offer for $8 (that the big asst box) but chared me $12.99 so i got a full refund

[Misplaced]

£1.00 in Asda and it's a bit of a tradition in our house as well - Kids and wife will be gutted when i say 'too expensive you're not having one of those!!'..........................I am a Ba Humbug :-)

[ajford]

Never been a lover of them myself. I always like after eight mints for Xmas, not seen any here but found a really good alternative cadburys old gold peppermint cream yum yum.

Certainly miss some chocolate (I prefer dark and nutty myself rather than milk choc flavoured with orange) but I've lost 3 kilos since I arrived so I'm telling myself - "I DON'T NEED CHOCOLATE" and I'm sooo much better off without it (who am I kidding?)

how can demand not be high, every coles in adelaide sold out within days

[Moosh]

Can I just say that the Terrys Chocolate Orange is not English chocolate, its Polish! It just doesn't taste like it used to.

 

Noticed a tin of Quality Street for sale for $30 in the Brackenberrys Sweet shop on James Place last week. It's probably out of date!

They haven't made them in the UK since 2005

[Guest The Dimmocks]

I brought a tin of QS back from UK £3.99 from Tesco, although mine were free as MIL gave them to me .
