Cheapest place to buy Quality Street tubs this week – and it’s not Aldi or B&M
WE'RE starting the run-up to Christmas, which means Quality Street tubs are a huge seller for most supermarkets.
As shoppers rush to get their hands on one, it's a good idea to know where to head for the cheapest price - and where to avoid.
As shoppers bag advent calendars and Christmas hampers in the transition to winter, a sweet treat is also in order to start the celebrations.
Just yesterday it was announced Quality Street will axe its iconic brightly-coloured wrappers over 86 years since their release.
In a bid to become more environmentally-friendly, they will be wrapped in a duller form of waxed paper, which is recyclable.
But that doesn't mean they won't be a festive favourite this year - it just helps to know where sells them for cheap.

As always, remember to check elsewhere in case we missed a cheaper price - there's never a bad time to catch a bargain.
Prices may vary day to day as well depending on what deals are on, so make sure you check, and look at delivery costs too if you're ordering online.
There's a handy comparison site - - which compares the prices of 130,000 products across 14 major supermarkets.
The also lets you search items and lets you compare prices at several supermarkets to see where it's cheaper.
Otherwise, let's get into prices.
Tesco
Tesco is selling 600g Quality Street tubs for £4 - this is not a special deal or Clubcard price.
It's also selling same-sized tubs of Roses and Heroes and a 650g box of Celebrations for the same price.
In previous years, the supermarket had loyalty deals allowing two boxes for the price of £7 - it's not currently on but was earlier in the year.
Aldi
Aldi is selling its 600g tubs for £3.99 - but these are unfortunately sold out online for click and collect, so you might not be able to get one this week.
It is currently selling 382g Quality Street pouches for £3.49 - but that's quite expensive considering it's priced at 91p per 100g, but sells a 650g Celebrations tub for 61p per 100g.
Although the Quality Street tub isn't a deal, keep a look out for Aldi Specialbuy - there might be some bargains in the coming weeks as we crawl closer to Christmas.

Sainsbury's
On the pricier side, Sainsbury's has its 600g tubs on sale for £5 - not on offer.
Morrisons
Morrisons has its 600g tub on shelves for £4.99 - a better offer than its 382g pouch that’s £4.
Its only deal is the 220g cartons that are £2, down from £3, so the tub is still the better offer.
Asda
The 600g tub at Asda is priced at £4, but for those with loyalty cards, you can claim £1 cashback on your purchase.
B&M
B&M sells a 450g tub which costs £3 - so it may be a cheap buy but you don't get as much.
This is not on offer - just the usual price.
Also, the smaller 370g bag is £3 too, so you definitely need to scout around first to make sure you're getting your money's worth.
Iceland
It costs £5 to bag a 600g box of Quality Street from Iceland, which remains the same as the normal price.
However, the 382g bags have gone down from £3.50 to £3, which is £1 cheaper than Morrisons.
And there are other deals too, like on the smaller 220g boxes, which are £2.50 each or three for £5. This could be useful if you're multi-buying for gifts or just stocking up.
Amazon
You can order a for £7.99 - so it's not the cheapest.
Plus you'll need to factor in delivery costs, so you might be better off visiting a supermarket.
The 382g pouch is £3.50 from Amazon - so it's cheaper than Morrisons and pricier than Iceland, but the same price as Aldi's.
