I.Ikg Quality Street selling from £16.00 + postage!

Looking through a Home Shopping Direct Christmas catalogue recently, I was amazed to see 1.1kg tins of Quality Street chocolates advertised 'FROM £16.00 (plus postage of £2.50) therein.

I had purchased two 1.1kg tins at Morrisons last week for £3.99 each, & I see that the same size tin is selling at our local village Tesco's store for £5.00 (actually 2 tins for £10.00) at what I consider to be reasonable prices.

As shopping from a catalogue at home is often a method used by the elderly and house bound, I do think that this is a rip-off.

I must be frank and say I couldn't believe the price you quoted! LOL
So I went and had a look.
HOW do they get away with such prices?
As you say you can get TWO tins in Sainsbury's for £10.00!!!
Indeed it is a rip off for housebound people.
