UK supermarket cuts price of Quality Street, Celebrations, Heroes and Roses to just £2

A major UK supermarket has cut the price of a host of chocolates ahead of Christmas. Morrisons is offering Celebrations, Quality Street Heroes and Roses for just £2 to loyalty card holders.

But there's a catch, as shoppers can only enjoy the offer when they spend £45 or more in-store. The deal is available from Friday, November 15 to Thursday, November 21 nationwide.

And you won't be able to stock up as only one tub will be allowed per customer. Tins of chocolates are a staple in many households over the festive season after first being launched decades ago.

Cadbury and Rowntree were among the first companies to create chocolate boxes in decorative tins, which became popular for gifting from the early 20th century. The tins often featured ornate designs, portraying British culture, landscapes, or even famous artwork.

They were luxurious items, often reused long after the chocolates were finished, WalesOnline reports. Quality Street launched in 1936 and was the first widely popular chocolate assortment in a tin which has since become a plastic tub.

Sustainability concerns have pushed some brands to return to metal tins or more environmentally friendly packaging.
