How do you become a pharmacist?

Originally the Quality Street refill packs were selling for £8 but a few weeks after Christmas supermarkets have slashed prices in hopes of getting rid of their extra stock.

The bargain was shared in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.
A happy shopper said: “£2.50 in Sainsbury’s Truro.”
“The shelf had £8 but I had seen in this group they were £4 so scanned and bingo.”
The shopper explained that she was clearing the shelves to give the chocolates as a gift to others.

A third shopper added: “Great bargain at the end of the day they are there to be bought and is not as if they are essentials so my opinion is buy as much as you like … enjoy.”
Inside the bag, you’ll find a variety of types of your favourite iconic individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates, toffees, and fruit cremés.
This pouch includes the famous Green Triangle and The Purple One.

And of course, if you’re not fussed about buying a refill pack specifically you can still find Quality Street chocolates in other supermarkets.
All the recent changes to Quality Street treats in recent months have definitely kept chocolate lovers on their toes.
One shopper was left devastated by the brands new paper wrappers as she swore she’d never buy them again.
