Where can I buy Altoids mints in the UK?

They're made in Wales apparently, but I've only seen them for sale in American shops, not in the UK.

Does anyone know where I can buy some in the UK?

Would they even have them in Tesco?

Lots of supermarkets have them on the sweets racks by/on the tills. Normally the not so large named supermarkets mind.

Also I think Wilkinsons have them...although don't know if Bristol has Wilkinsons.

Ocado have them

I bet you're more interested in the tin case than the mints

Altoids sounds like an embarrasing disease.

Sounds like something you would put on one anyway . . . .

I've seen them countless times in service stations and supermarkets.

They come in a tin.

Brilliant, I also need some paint and some bike inner tubes, so I'll pick some up next time I'm in Wilco.

It's like an Aladdin's cave, and even now I'm surprised at some of the stuff they sell!

I must admit, the tins can prove to be useful...

I love Wilko, it's so awesome...although everyone that works in them is more than a little bit special.

Marks and Spencer sell the full sized altoids tin. It's not actually altoids brand but they are the same mints and the tin is exactly the same size. I used one for an electronics project involving 4xAA batteries, it's an ideal size.

Just use a travel sweet tin. If you're using it for what I'm guessing you are, then these are a fine substitute for the ubiquitous Altoids tin.
