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?

But decoy stashes! This shit's just gone up another level!

GreenTulips · 09/08/2019 19:13

Defiantly no eating cake outside the supermarket here!

And no chocolate or delicious biscuits hiding in the empty space above the built in freezer - I mean that would be a bit weird wouldn’t it?

This thread has made me chuckle. Knicker drawer used to be my spot until DH started doing the laundry. One day he was putting away and found it, then asked me with great concern if I had an eating disorder...

I buy stuff during the day and eat it, my family thinks I'm some sort of snack-resisting, sugar-phobic weirdo. However, if I buy chocolate, I have to hide it in the utility room cupboards because the lot of them are like sniffer dogs and know there's chocolate in the house as soon as they walk through the door.

I do hide my cheese though, right at the back of the fridge under the veg.

notbloodylikely · 09/08/2019 21:12

And yes to decoy stashes here too, especially ice-cream.

Dementedswan · 09/08/2019 21:14

I definitely dont hide my aldi fruit and nut choc bar at the very top of the shit cupboard... no one ever goes in there, apart from shovelling more shit into it.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 09/08/2019 22:55

You see, my problem is that nothing I buy lasts long enough to be a stash.

In fact, I recon DH has stuff he hides from me because I'd definitely eat it.

DC are too young to stash things yet but their time will come.

CherryBathBomb · 09/08/2019 23:14

Don't ever hide mini vodkas in the box of liquid tabs

j3mz · 09/08/2019 23:36

fedupntired · 09/08/2019 23:51

Crisps under the stairs!

bonbonours · 09/08/2019 23:53

I keep my salted caramel haagendasz (can't spell it) in the frozen veg drawer.

greengrower · 10/08/2019 00:25

I have a very large cupboard for craft workshop supplies in my study/office. It's locked. I have all the keys. It's got lots of goodies stashed away, just for meeeee! And yy to a decoy stash downstairs

IDrinkAndISewThings · 10/08/2019 00:38

This thread is awesome!

stayathomer · 10/08/2019 00:44

Large glenisk yoghurt in veggie drawer in fridge, chocolate biccies behind pasta, and jellies in medicine cabinet. Cough.

MazDazzle · 10/08/2019 00:47

My DM stashed a portion of pavlova on Christmas Day. She forgot all about it until she opened one of her cupboards... 2 months later!

It was unrecognisable.

allhalekale · 10/08/2019 00:52

This thread is making me want chocolate and it’s nearly 1am!

TrySinging · 10/08/2019 01:28

"I once told my daughter that she wouldn't like an apple tturnover because it was to spicy"

YY - I follow a similar vein when I want to eat treats on the sofa, rather than in the bathroom.

Me, enjoying a white chocolate Magnum...

DD - Mummy, can I have one of those too?

Me - Of course DD. You like carrots, right?

DD - Ew! No!

Me - Oh, don't you? Oh, that's a shame cause these are carrot flavoured ones. Never mind, you can go and get yourself a Mini Milk if you like?

DD - Thanks Mummy!

Me - hehehe 😈

twilightcafe · 10/08/2019 12:35

There are no treats hidden on top of my wardrobe. Or in the utility room.

billy1966 · 10/08/2019 12:56

I was out for coffee with some friends one day and we had the conversation about best hiding places etc.

I had saluted a boy that my son had gone to school with, but wouldn't have been close friends with, at a table nearby.

My son told me some months later that he met him in passing soon afterwards, and he told him to "check the bottom of the ironing bin in you house, you can thank me later!".
My son obviously thought it was strange, but did as he was bid, and was rewarded with my huge stock of fruit and nut chocolate 😜

Lovemenorca · 10/08/2019 12:58

@billy1966. Love that story!

MaidofKent78 · 10/08/2019 21:30

@TrySinging we have mushroom flavoured biscuits in our house

RevSeptimusHarding · 10/08/2019 22:07

Well all I can say is that no man would ever stoop so low as to hide chocolate or other goodies in the house. If they are bought in the hose then they are openly available for all to share. That is only right.
What's in his shed is another matter entirely!

RevSeptimusHarding · 10/08/2019 22:09

house

Fromage · 12/08/2019 12:40

Just wanted to add I did NOT spend 20 minutes last night in search of my own treats that I put there.

twilightcafe · 15/08/2019 20:56

Bugger. Kids and DH have just discovered my chocolate stash.
