😂😂😂 my stash keeps getting eaten and re-topped up

orangegato · 30/10/2023 22:03

I’ve done this at least three times this month.

I did the same thing, I bought a multipack of sweets which contained 18 little bags of Haribo and ate them all myself, my kids didn't even get any. In my defense, one bag was used as an emergency snack during a hypo but I'm still very annoyed at myself.
Will have to visit the shop again tomorrow to restock

You know those huge buckets with swizzels lollies in that Costco do?
Well we bought one the other year and I ended up eating most of them because we were out for dinner on Halloween. It was bliss but I've not bought any since.

ReginaPerrin · 30/10/2023 22:14

Yep. Same with Easter eggs!

And selection boxes 🐷

TheYearOfSmallThings · 30/10/2023 22:17

I got wise to myself after last year's debacle, and bought mini haribo bags instead of malteasers etc. I haven't even been tempted!

Ponderingwindow · 30/10/2023 22:17

We learned our lesson years ago, none of the packages get opened until we are setting up to start handing out.

JobMatch3000 · 30/10/2023 22:19

I have already bought and eaten four nets of Christmas chocolate coins!

Goldmember · 30/10/2023 22:21

I've bought sweets I don't like for this exact reason 😄

ShutTheDoorBabe · 30/10/2023 22:22

Yea I bought a swizzels tub. I lasted 3 days before I caved and ate all the ones I like, intending on replacing it. There were none left in the shops I went in today...

botheredand · 30/10/2023 22:25

We don't get TOT's as we're very rural and only neighbours don't celebrate Halloween. But I still bought many many bags and boxes of sweets and chocolates 'just in case'. If we have any surprise visitors tomorrow I'll have to ask for tricks, there are no treats to be seen

Frostine · 30/10/2023 22:26

We close our curtains and don't answer the door ! Boo !👻

Caggers · 30/10/2023 22:26

I’m on a diet so have bought sweets that won’t tempt me.

Poor kids. Last year they had fun size backs of Maltesers and Twix, this year it’s Wham bars and Haribo.

Pinkpinkpink15 · 30/10/2023 22:30

My friends SIL has had to resort to getting me to buy the advent calendars & chocolate coins 'she' gets the kids for Christmas or else she replaces them far too many times before she gives them to the kids.

🙄🙄

weirdly if the chocolates/sweets are for others they don't tempt me at all.

im no Saint, no self control required, they just don't call to me.

AdoraBell · 30/10/2023 22:32

We bought mini Haribo bags today, I’ve only had 1. The Quality Street I stashed away for Christmas is another story 🤦‍♀️

CopperLion · 30/10/2023 22:37

Glad it’s not just me! I didn’t think to buy something unappealing. Next year I will do better. That was a LOT of chocolate in two days!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 30/10/2023 22:43

DH put all the sweets on a high shelf that I can't reach. He's flying out tomorrow so he'd better remember to get the down before he goes. Grin

Lizzieregina · 30/10/2023 22:47

I buy Reese’s peanut butter cups because I don’t find them tempting at all and if I don’t get any kids knocking (happens a lot!) then DS eats them because he loves them!

However I also usually buy something nut free last minute just in case.

I’ve already eaten two boxes of Godiva chocolate that I bought for Christmas presents 😭

PawsisShady · 30/10/2023 22:50

I've bought and eaten a tin of that M&S merry munch. And a refill pack

JayJayEl · 30/10/2023 23:20

Ah, but have you ever (as a drunken 20 year old - long time ago!) opened a box of chocolates from under the Christmas tree - that you wrapped as a gift for someone else - and eaten them?! 😭😂

CopperLion · 31/10/2023 15:42

@Lizzieregina it WAS Reece’s peanut butter cups. How can you resist them??

I don’t care for peanut butter, so this is an easy one for me! Probably the only chocolatey thing I can resist unfortunately!
