Here’s how prices of Quality Street compare at supermarkets and high street shops.
Tesco
Tesco is selling 600g Quality Street tubs for £3.50 – this is a Clubcard price.
In previous years, the supermarket had loyalty deals offering two boxes for the price of £7.
This deal isn’t currently on but was earlier in the year, and could come back again.
That would work out as £3.50 a tub too, but of course you have to buy two of them and spend more overall.
Aldi
Aldi is selling its 600g tubs for as little as £3.49 in stores. But in some locations they are priced £3.99.
The discount supermarket slashed the price of Christmas tubs last year too including Quality Street.
This year it’s also selling 650g Celebration tubs for £3.49 and £3.99 too.
Sainsbury’s
On the pricier side, Sainsbury’s is selling 600g tubs for £5.
This is full price and not currently on offer.
The retailer is also selling a larger 871g Quality Street tin for £8.
But that’s pricier at 92p per 100g compared to 83p per 100g for the smaller tub.
Morrisons
Morrisons has its 600g tub on shelves for £4, in store and online.
It was out of stock online but is now back in – but don’t forget that there’s likely a delivery charge on top.
On it’s website it says that it will soon have the same larger tin as Sainsbury’s in stock soon – but costing £10,
Asda
The 600g tub at Asda is priced at £4, but for those with loyalty cards, you can claim £1 cashback on your purchase.
The retailer is also selling a larger 871g Quality Street tin for £8.
But again, that’s pricier than t he £4 tub, and just goes to show that you should always check the price per wight when comparing.
B&M
B&M is selling a 650g tub for £4 – but you do get slightly more for that price compared to others.
The tub, which is only available in stores and not on the B&M website, works out as 62p per 100g.
That makes the tub actually cheaper than the Tesco deal which is 67p per 100g, despite higher price tag.
Iceland
Iceland has slashed the cost of 600g Quality Street tubs from £5 to £4.50.
Once again you’ll find a bigger tub but at a more expensive price.
The 871g tin will set you back £8.
Amazon
The cheapest 600g tub of Quality Street we could spot on Amazon will set you back £8.69
Plus you’ll need to factor in delivery costs, so you’re likely better off visiting a supermarket.

Meanwhile Quality Street is axing 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.
