You’d be lucky to get any in Lidl. I went in last night and remembered it as I got to the checkout, DP loves pistachio and so I asked if they were selling it.
I live in a small town and apparently people were queuing for it at opening time as they started selling it in store yesterday, the staff member I was speaking to said they sold out within the hour.
I have noticed it for resale on eBay for between £15 and £20.
Amazon sell a pistachio paste I used to buy for £4.99, it was a cross between peanut butter and Nutella and is delicious but very rich.
I don’t understand why people are so easily influenced, there is no way I’d be that desperate and queue for something or buy it unless it really appealed like it would for DP in this situation. The overinflated price should put people off but the desperation to be part of the trend wins every time.
My friends daughter (just turned 12 in February) insisted on expensive skincare and a mini fridge for Christmas, she took some pictures for social media and to show friends but has never used it, her younger sister got more age appropriate things and has ended up having to share.
The skincare is out on display for visiting friends but never gets used properly.
It’s sad kids and adults get manipulated into spending money on things when they don’t really want them and just want to keep up with trends, I’m grateful I didn’t have the same pressure at that age and don’t feel the need to follow it now.
I do want to order some of that pistachio cream though so I’ve been influenced in a roundabout way!
