Allen's Sour Mix Lollies 60g

Is this one worth buying?

Allen's Sour Mix Lollies 60g is currently listed at $1.50 at Woolworths, against a usual price of $3.00. The dollar saving is small, so treat it as something to add to a shop you were doing anyway rather than a deal to chase.

Chocolate keeps well in a cool, dark cupboard but not in a hot Australian kitchen: above about 25°C it blooms, which affects texture rather than safety but is unpleasant. If you are buying several blocks on special in summer, the fridge is a reasonable compromise. Boxed chocolates near a seasonal date are often discounted heavily right after the occasion passes, which is the cheapest chocolate of the year.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
