To be absolutely fuming at Asda for ruining my night

Dp is out tonight, which means I only need to feed myself. I decided that I didn't want a proper meal, I wanted maltesers and Greek yoghurt (not together). There is a tesco about 6-7min drive from me, and an Asda about 15mins. Tesco's maltesers were full price, whereas Asda was selling them for £1 (I googled this prior to setting off), so off I went to Asda. To my horror, they had sold out of maltesers!! I circled the store several times in the hope that they would be stocked up by the time I returned to them, but nope, the shelf remained empty. I was so angry at this point, and I didn't have a backup plan for dinner. Reluctantly, I grabbed a bag of m&ms and a Terry's chocolate orange and went to the tills. Near the tills they had fucking 'treat bags' of maltesers. Treat bags?? They were the same price as the share bags, but you get about a third less in them! It is such a con. So now instead of enjoying a nice big bag of maltesers, I have a handful of maltesers, and I need to force down m&ms AND a choc orange. Oh and I wasted extra petrol, and I've come home in a mood :(

I'm weighing up whether to travel 8hrs to you for a free bag, or 15 mins tomorrow for a £1 bag....hmmm I do love a bargain.

8 hours, for a free BOX, not bag...something to consider! By the way, please don't let the cat out, I can hear him trying to get out to finish off the mouse I rescued earlier. Ta.

I've been to bed then got up twice already to settle baby and toddler. Would I be unreasonable to wake DH up, tell him to sort them while I get dressed and go to tesco for a chocolate orange?
This reminds me I that Father Ted episode where he dreams about being chased by giant peanuts. That'll be me now - only I'll be chased by giant chocolate orange.
Damn you all!!

I got a toblerone in Poundland today even though I'd been to ASDA and Morrisons first. Poundland. Full size toblerone.

I've just eaten it in secret all by myself because I sent DH to bed and said I'd let the dogs out before I went up when really I meant I would be MNing and eating toblerone.
