I bought a tin of Quality Street on my way home from work in our local Tesco's tonight. They were doing them for less than half price (ÂĢ4.50 a tin). Not bad I thought, but it's sat on my bedroom floor just looking at me, I really want to open it, but it's my intention to keep it unopened till Xmas holiday week. How can I keep it in the unopened state that it is in?

if you're having trouble now Poolie, you're not going to last until Christmas...open it and buy another tin 
Oooh, that's a tough one! 
Are you sure you shouldn't just open it and put them into categories?

Give it to someone to keep for you
Wait till they start talking to you.

Open it, eat as many as you can as quickly as you can, you will feel that sick you wont want to eat the rest till xmas.

but if you face the same predicament tomorrow you'll repeat the cycle and that will get very expensive and you'll get very rotund with the eating of all those chocs Give into this tin but don't buy another until holiday week
You have fallen into the usual trap and bought something for Christmas that you really have no intention of leaving until Christmas. Just eat them and buy another tin later

You may eat the back up tin also though

Oooo I dunno our Pam, my local Sainsbury's always has these tins on offer right up to closing on Xmas eve 
I think this is a Quality Control issue When was the last time you ate Quality Street? Can you be sure that they haven't altered the flavours? Discontinued your favourites? Imagine if you resisted temptation and opened the tin in Christmas week only to be disappointed ... I would open it and test them now. Then, if they meet with your approval, buy another tin for Christmas, otherwise invest in a tin of Roses.
Hope this helps

hehe - I actually have a tin of Quality Street (I paid 50p more than Poolie too 
)However ... I also have a tin of Roses too

Oh m gawd!
Are you just surprised that I am sensible?
I only buy the tin's at Xmas, as a treat to myself, I love chocolate and have a little bit every dat nearly except weekends when beer is more important. I'm just worried they won't be on offer at the cheap price again nearer Xmas. I'm lucky I don't put weight on easy so eating the whole tins contents is not a troublesome issue for me.

If you are tempted to open them buy a small box of Quality Street or some chocolate it will take the temptation away.. good luck
Poolie - I've been thinking about this long and hard....
I think you SHOULD eat them as a sort of pre xmas celebration.
Then if you like them you can buy more but if you don't then you can buy something else.
Also they are nearly all half price so it would be a shame
AND....
We are in a recession so the more we buy the better it is for the economy so technically you will be saving the country from economic ruin.
