To show you my Christmas treats

Back in the Summer I made it my goal to be able to walk/bus to my local Aldi by myself by Christmas so i could stock up on some Christmas treats ( have ASD and complex mh issues). I have managed to walk there (35 mins) and get there by bus about 3 times now. Today, i went by bus to finally get my christmas treats. (Asda and home bargains were also on my goal list but i havent managed those yet).

So, here they areGrin

By the way, i have tried the frangipane mince pies and they were amazing. They used to be in a turquoise coloured box but now they are in a black box. Also, the choc reindeer was reduced from 89p to 59p oh and the frozen berry and white choc pavlova stack was 4.99
