I have an empty Quality Street tin ( wasnt me lol). Full tin cost £5 , think they are all selling at that price anyway. So is it cheaper to buy loose Quality Street somewhere to fill the tin, or just buy another tin?? And where is it cheaper to buy them loose?
I have seen the plastic jars of quality street for about £4 and there maybe less in them than the tins so it would probably be best to buy another tin.
Of you're going for a refill, try M&S's The Big Selection if they're on offer, much nicer than Quality Street. I hang them on the Christmas tree for the kids, well, and for me.
Look and see how many, in grams, you got in your tin - it will be on the back -then look and see how much there is in a normal box or plastic jar, in grams- compare the prices and do a bit of math - ad -dah! -there's my 20 seconds of rocket science done for the day .
Tins are very good for storing print photos and old memorabilia in, esp with a little packaging tissue added. Keeps everything dark and stable, and difficult to crush. Spray paint the outside and label it up though so it doesn't get thrown out by accident.
