How much is the new price per pouch? I must have had dozens of emails telling me to buy their discounted frother. As lovley as it is, I'd rather not have one at home as I know I'd use it dailyFunnily Hotel Chocolat have just sent an email out to subscribers re: price changes. This email is incorrect, I don’t have a sleekster subscription it’s for their hot chocolate pouches but looks as if the price is increasing by around 2% regardless of name.

They’ve subsequently sent me another email saying the previous one was a mistake as I’m not a sleekster subscriber! And that the pouches are remaining the same price, which is a pleasant surprise! Maybe it’s the filling/packaging/Labour (as assuming they’re hand placed in?) driving the sleekster’s price increase rather than the chocolate itself?How much is the new price per pouch?

Hotel Chocolat prices have been creeping up every 6 months, it does seem like lots of it is due to costs rather than trying to maximize profits (I believe they're privately owned?).
My father would mainly buy us Easter eggs after Easter was over.Do what I do, instead of paying extortionate amount for the chocolate eggs, buy a couple of your favourite chocolate bar blocks. Much cheaper, and it's still chocolate at the end of the day. I say this as an adult though, I suppose kids want the eggs.
See, that used to be a tactic but I noticed the past couple of years the shops clear the seasonal stuff next day and don't tend to sell it off as discounted anymore. Last year I went to my supermarket and there was not a whiff of Easter after Easter SundayMy father would mainly buy us Easter eggs after Easter was over.
I noticed that too. The products moved from chocolate reindeers at Christmas straight to Chocolate rabbits for Easter. No discounted chocolate at all.See, that used to be a tactic but I noticed the past couple of years the shops clear the seasonal stuff next day and don't tend to sell it off as discounted anymore. Last year I went to my supermarket and there was not a whiff of Easter after Easter Sundayunless they sold them all at midnight and I somehow missed it.
The Tesco at Brent Cross in London is where the party is at.I noticed that too. The products moved from chocolate reindeers at Christmas straight to Chocolate rabbits for Easter. No discounted chocolate at all.
Have you tried the Way to Go bar (Tony's dupe)?My father would mainly buy us Easter eggs after Easter was over.
Cadbury actually do very well as a company. Net sales worldwide in the billions and don’t forget the minimal tax too. It was 200k from the last article I read when they made something like 500million profit In 2021. Chocolate is one area that’s done well over the past three years.
I like my Kitkats, but we went through a Tony’s phase. We also won a instagram Christmas Competition they had running which was to make decorations from the wrappers.
I’m not fussed and and eat anything and have switched to shopping at Lidl now. Their chocolate is actually okay too.
Ireland set to introduce income related Jobseeker’s Allowance, don’t know how that will pan out.I'm becoming a fangirl for the guardian at this point, but this is so true. For those at the top and at the bottom the benefits and tax system makes people work part time. It's crazy considering the labour shortage we have. The unemployment figures are at record lows, but that hides the people that have been discouraged from working more than part time.

‘It’s just not worth it’: why full-time work no longer pays in the UK
Britain has a shrinking economy and a worker shortage – so why aren’t part-time workers increasing their hours?www.theguardian.com
Good. The current system is stupid. Regardless of how much tax you paid you get 70 quid ish. It is no safety net.Ireland set to introduce income related Jobseeker’s Allowance, don’t know how that will pan out.
Jobseekers could receive up to €450 a week under new Government plans
The Fine Gael Minister said that introducing the programme will "soften the cliff edge drop" in a person’s income when they lose their job and must move onto social welfarewww.dublinlive.ie
Just wondering if you haven’t found employment within the timeframe allowed does your money just drop anyway? Is this a thing in other EU countries ,it said they’re the last to introduce it?Good. The current system is stupid. Regardless of how much tax you paid you get 70 quid ish. It is no safety net.
Should be 80% of pay for 6 weeks and decrease.
No, I haven’t seen or tried that yet.Have you tried the Way to Go bar (Tony's dupe)?
I hated the Tony's Chocaloney but love the dupeNo, I haven’t seen or tried that yet.
If anyone lives near Gloucester, once the post-Easter sale on the Hotel Chocolat website is over, everything left over gets sent to their outlet store at Gloucester Quays. Last year they were doing the standard-sized eggs for £9 each, down from £30.Hotel Chocolat usually sell theirs off half price after.
Last year I picked up some Lidl stuff for the children discounted on the Saturday or Sunday. Although their hotel Chocolat type brand really isn't as good as the real thing.
I'd rather have hotel Chocolat once a month than waxy oversweet Cadbury junk a couple of times a week.
You must be close to me as this is very local!If anyone lives near Gloucester, once the post-Easter sale on the Hotel Chocolat website is over, everything left over gets sent to their outlet store at Gloucester Quays. Last year they were doing the standard-sized eggs for £9 each, down from £30.
I live on the north coast of Scotland, my mother lives in Gloucestershire about 25 minutes from Gloucester QuaysYou must be close to me as this is very local!
Cheshire oaks? I was there last week hotel chocolat had a lot of Xmas chocolates for sale which I thought were a pretty good price. Didn’t get any though I prefer LindtThere's an outlet in Chester also (or there was). Haven't been there in years but you used to get these good sized bags of rejects for £5. Great value and I love the randomness.
