Can’t believe the price of chocolate

Slightly light hearted, but today, having not really bought chocolate for a good few months, I had the urge whilst buying petrol to get a chocolate bar and I really couldn’t get over the price of anything that is chocolate based.

I really really wanted Smarties. I couldn’t bring myself to pay what they cost. Suppose my waistline will thank me. A Cadbury cream egg was 99p.

I’d forgotten I started this.

I stopped buying chocolate awhile ago and decided to just get myself a bar of dark 70% chocolate which I’m not a fan of and I’ve had the same bar in the fridge for at least two weeks with a good quarter of it left.

I also stopped buying biscuits and I was hoping I’d see some weight reduction but alas I turned to crumpets 😀

Honestly it's helped my chocolate habit no end

£4.20 for a bag of Minstrels in Waitrose last week. I put them back on the shelf!

It seems a strange world where the price of illegal “recreational” drugs is coming down (so I have read) whilst the price of perfectly legal chocolate goes up.

Interesting re the drugs… no way am I going back to my clubbing days though! Too old.
