I just can't decide 🤔

Does anybody else have similar dilemmas?

Can't type properly as the cat is trying to eat my chocolate and I don't want it on my clean sheets

NoWittyNamesAvailable · 12/02/2018 09:24

May i suggest you shop around? Some places do 3 ordinary sized ones for £1.20 (ish). You'll get far more for your money Grin you may have to consult your husband though, as I'm certain he gets the final say.

Are you going to eat them all yourself, or rent them out?

Efferlunt · 12/02/2018 09:24

Chocolate prices will fall soon. I wouldn’t invest.

Independentstateofeyebrows · 12/02/2018 09:24

I'd indulge my love of art and buy four packets of Munch-ies

Jammycustard · 12/02/2018 09:25

Two Toblerones, an Easter egg and some truffles.

Is it the woman who’s young, has a baby, grew up in the Caribbean and has a really rich husband?

Taffeta · 12/02/2018 09:25

I’d get the Norland nanny to choose. I don’t actually go to shops

ASDismynormality · 12/02/2018 09:25

Diversify, 2 small bars of chocolate, a small bag of haribo and a pencil.

If you've got 4 million quid why not get 4 million different chocolate bars? Maybe you could use some of that money to buy yourself a life whilst you're at it.

Bananmanfan · 12/02/2018 09:26

Grin How many choclate bars do you own already?

Bananmanfan · 12/02/2018 09:26

chocolate

JackieReacher · 12/02/2018 09:27

you should leverage your strong position and look at investment into a multipack for best return on investment.

Bowerbird5 · 12/02/2018 09:31

Four. Different flavours. Variety is the spice of life!

BarbaraofSevillle · 12/02/2018 09:32

But no-one wants Northern Chocolate Merryoldgoat, it's cheap for a reason.

As usual, I'd go against the grain and go for one small chocolate bar, as I'm all about quality not quantity. I'd rather have one little selector pack from Hotel Chocolat than a giant tub or Quality Street that costs about the same.

5BlueHydrangea · 12/02/2018 09:33

Dairy Milk isn't what it used to be..
I like the 4 boxes of Maltesers idea myself!
Mind you Yorkie giant chocolate buttons are rather yummy - £1 a bag in Poundland.
And we live in the very expensive SE London area too :)

4 would be easier to hide from your DH and also would mean you still have some left if he found one of your stashes.

But I suppose it really depends on whether you can swim? Eating all that chocolate would have an impact on your bikini readiness.

Is it the woman who’s young, has a baby, grew up in the Caribbean and has a really rich husband?

nah, it's the one who is 15, lives in a 3 bed semi in suburbia and is on school holidays.

Buy 4 small ones. Eat one yourself, hoard the others until the shops are shut, then sell them off for a profit. Repeat until you're a chocolate millionaire. might not work if you live near a 24-hour supermarket

Grumpyoldblonde · 12/02/2018 09:43

Seriously though, this poster pops up every few weeks. Banging on about chocolate like the rest of us have never had any.

She'll be back next month winding us up about Haribo. Don't get sucked in.

pisacake · 12/02/2018 09:43

If it's shit Cadburys American satanic chocolate then £4 is far too much and you'd probably puke.

But if it's posh chocolate than £1 will probably buy one tiny chocolate, so clearly £4 is the answer.

Dagnabit · 12/02/2018 09:46

None. Buy crisps. HTH

Caterpillarx1 · 12/02/2018 09:46

Probably 4 so you get a variety. Unless you only like 1 particular bar, then I’d work out the best value for your money.

k2p2k2tog · 12/02/2018 09:47

Just don't buy anything you can't afford outright.

TerfsUp · 12/02/2018 09:48

Are you buying chocolate in London?
