Tesco Value After Dinner Mints

Tesco Value After Dinner Mints Think After Eights but Nicer...!!!! I love chocolate. But even more than that, I love minty chocolate. When I was pregnant I went completely off chocolate, but after I had my little girl, the rush for chocolate came back with a vengeance. I was lucky enough to receive a couple of boxes of After Eights as presents and soon wolfed my way through them. Now After Eights are pretty damn expensive if you ask me, so this is where the value aspect comes in. During a recent online shopping spree at Tesco.com I found, in the virtual sweet isle, this delightful box of choccies, and could not believe the price. 75p. ...  Read the complete review

No doubt about it, Tesco Value After-dinner Mints are really shoddily packaged. 99p's worth come in a little white oblong box, with just a few splahes of the 'Tesco colours' (red and blue) to enliven it. Once you've fought your way through the cellophane outer wrap (there's no handy ribbon pull-strip given on this budget product) and the cardboard box is opened, it is, however a different matter. Firstly, you don't get all that faffing around with dark-chocolate mints individually-wrapped in black envelopes against the background of a black-painted box with these, not like you do if you've bought the (presumably) market leader in after-dinner-mints 'After ...  Read the complete review

==Background:== When I was growing up I used to love as most kids do Christmas. One of the many reasons for this was the chocolates and sweets we were allowed as this special time. Back then one of these treats was After Eight Mints, these were always considered to be as expensive and the height of good taste. I was looking for some After Dinner mints the other day and I saw the traditional After Eights but next to them I noticed Tesco's own Value After Dinner Mints. As I was on a strict budget and I was curious to try these I decided to purchase them. I have tried quite a few items from the Tesco Value range and on the whole I have been impressed ...  Read the complete review

Last week, at the age of 23, I was fitted with fixed braces. Once they were on and I saw that they are barely noticeable (I got clear brackets), my thoughts quickly turned to all the foods I would no longer be able to eat. I do have a sweet tooth, and I am also on a low-fat diet. I've lost two stone in the last six months or so and I'm not about to gain it back on my way to pretty teeth! So I needed something to satisfy that craving, that didn't have a huge fat content, but also wasn't hard, sticky, crunchy, gooey, chewy, etc, and not TOO much sugar. Not an easy task. If anyone has braces, has had them or has kids with them, please comment with ...  Read the complete review

I love After Eights, and a couple of weeks ago around the time I was placing my online shopping order with Tesco, I had a bit of a craving for mint chocolate, especially After Eights. At nearly three quid a box I would have felt a bit guilty shelling out on a box of chocolates for myself, however I spotted Tesco's mint thins for just a pound a box, and decided I could justify giving them a try! The chocolates come in a lime green box with a picture of the chocolates on the front. It's pretty boring and nowhere near as fancy as the embossed dark green box you'd expect from Nestle's After Eights, but it serves it's purpose. Inside the box, the ...  Read the complete review
