Our local (ish) tesco extra stocks it. That East End stuff.

Probably a damn sight more than 40p a box though!

Hello cslgirl,

Hope you don't mind me saying so, but you have really paid way too much for them.

Have you got no Asian supermarkets nearby?  I buy a 100g box for about 80p TRS brand.

Try that link, Ok there still will be pstage to pay but it will still work out cheaper than ebay.

Hope that helps,

Ray :)
