Have you seen the size of Heros, Roses and Quality Street 'tins' - they have shrunk and now contain just 550g of chocolate.

I just bought a 'plastic'** of Quality Street from Aldi as a top-up birthday present for my sister. It contains 600 g of chocs!


** Doesn't have quite the same ring*** as 'tin', does it!

*** I flicked it to check - actually more of a dull thud!

It'll be Easter Eggs next.

I'm furious because in Aldi they currently have Christmas Eggs

I'm halfway through this week's pack of hot-cross buns.
Not sure if I'm half a year early or half a year late, but they're in date.

Last time I looked at early Christmas products on supermarket shelves, some best-before dates were in November.

I’ve done a six pack of mince pies over the course of yesterday and today after seeing them for sale in Tesco’s. Thanks for the heads up all 🤣

You may not want to have a look at channel 52 (round here at least) on Freeview then. Don't know when it started, but the guide goes back a week with the same programming. On the EE TV box the channel name has also been changed.

I can confirm they're available year-round. Nom.

Me and youngest son finished off a Christmas pud last week. He complained that I hadn't quite sweetened the custard enough!
