Price of chocies at Christmas

Every year i buy some tins of Chocies  and hand them out round the family Tins of Roses, Quality street, Celebrations etc    in recent years they are sold two tins for £10 then reduced in price ranging from £8 to £9 for two tins depending from where you buy them from   one year i even bought some for £6 for two tins   well my gripe is well call me tight wad if you like but my gripe  is over the years iv noticed a steady but noticeable reduction  in the contents of the tins for cash out lay,now this year even the tins are slightly smaller, i have not opened one as yet so i cannot comment on any further reduction of contents  of said tins   i do like the odd chocie ,(please note Celebrations are my fav  ) well all i can say is that they are getting a bit pricy,if it helps im willing to hand the empty tins back to them if they knock down the price abit after all i don't require the empty tin after iv ate the contents   Ok its just a gripe call me Ebenezer Scrooge Beaver if you must the  tight wad rodent.

I very much doubt you have any scroogelike qualities MrB - and the fact is your right - and ALSO slowly by slowly - some of the contents are missing and made up by others - less favourite of mine

 Mrs p thank you but I do have a tendency to covert my wallet I stroke it nightly before I go to bed and morn the passing of old friends that I take out of that wallet when I go shopping   and yes your bang on there with old fav chocies going missing replaced by new ones
