To hide the good stuff?

My family are well catered for and want for nothing. If I have something particularly delicious I tend to squirrel it away and eat it in secret.
Am I a monster?

You are a monster. I would never hide M and S biscuits in the ironing pile

@Sexnotgender disgusting behaviour to be honest.

I'd never hide a bar of galaxy at the back of the salad drawer.

jent85 · 06/08/2019 15:56

I've got a bottle of wine hidden under the spinach in the salad drawer as we speak.....Blush

The delicious-ness of whatever is hidden in the fridge increases if you eat it in secret. This is a well-known fact.

I put my nice (v expensive) cereal in an old bran flakes box....

None of the kids would ever consider looking in there!!

Pinkfoxglove · 06/08/2019 15:59

It would be very wrong to hide a big for of Galaxy in an empty flour box.

WhenDoISleep · 06/08/2019 16:01

A truly terrible thing to do - sharing is caring and all that!

I need a new hiding spot as my current favoured one is regularly raided by DH as well as the DC - am thinking of branching out from the kitchen and using my sock drawer or similar to completely outfox them.

I have never put a pack of dark chocolate digestives in the drawer of my office desk.

And I have certainly never put good chocolate in a cupboard that the kids can't reach. Not once.

Ever.

WellTidy · 06/08/2019 16:03

I definitely don't have a half-eaten box of After Eights under the chair in the front room.

justthecat · 06/08/2019 16:06

I hide all the good stuff in the salad drawer, nobody goes in there except me 😇

tabbycat985 · 06/08/2019 16:11

I most definitely do not have the contents of a sweet shop located at the back of my PJ drawerGrin

Haha, my stash usually lives in the small cupboard above the cooker. DD can’t reach itSmile

I most definitely do not have the sweeties for our holiday trip wrapped in a bag, on a low shelf in the pantry, underneath an upturned measuring jug...

FiveLittlePigs · 06/08/2019 16:14

If you don't look in the skimmed milk powder tub in the baking cupboard you'll not find the hobnobs or the green &blacks chocolate.

I hope that we never have a need to use skimmed milk powder Grin

A88ie1 · 06/08/2019 16:14

I Don't think its wrong. My Husband has no issue ploughing through the chocolate tin. I used to spend 20 quid in a month just on snacks he and his son thought were free so I now hide them in the locked insulin compartment in the fridge as they suffer from lack of self control lol.

I messed up last week and didn't hide the DR Pepper quick enough and the husband was already in it lol.

whitebowls · 06/08/2019 16:15

I don't have marmite flatbreads hidden in my birthday card drawer. Or chocolate hidden under the frozen veggies.
That'd be selfish. Smile

Tartsamazeballs · 06/08/2019 16:15

Hidden in a Costco style bulk buy tampon box here Grin will have to review once daughter reaches a certain age. Either removal or doubling up, depending on how much of an arsey teen she is Wink

Justonemoremojito · 06/08/2019 16:17

Absolutely no sweets hidden in the cool box in the shed, nope none, none at all

MaudebeGonne · 06/08/2019 16:17

I can't imagine hiding a tub of hagaan das salted caramel icecream under a frozen joint of pork. Nope, would never do that....

Time40 · 06/08/2019 16:20

I make my DP hide the chocolate in his study, to save me from myself. It comes out once a day and then gets hidden again. There would be no point my my having a secret store of anything, because it wouldn't last two minutes.

Time40 · 06/08/2019 16:21

... in my, that should say, not my my. Ooooh, I do with we had a edit function.

Time40 · 06/08/2019 16:21

... or even wish

squishee · 06/08/2019 16:23

A stack of Aldi chocolate and tins of dulce de leche tucked away in the baking cupboard? Never.

iklboo · 06/08/2019 16:23

This is disgraceful behaviour. I would never do this. My socks just look like a bar of posh dark chocolate. It's....erm....the packaging! Yes, packaging.

whothedaddy · 06/08/2019 16:23

I don't have to hide anything. My OH can't look properly to save his life...he will still accuse me of hiding snacks and treats in the well known about snacks and treats cupboard. Confused
