It's my anniversary
And we aren't going away
No budget really
What food shall I get in

My husband doesn't drink because he is a plonker, but I do like a wine

Walk to the icecream section. Find the white chocolate and raspberry ice-cream lollies (Magnum shaped) and also the dark chocolate and orange ice-cream lollies. Put as many of each into your trolley as you possibly can. You won't regret it.

HollowTalk · 13/03/2020 13:58

Also the lemon meringue pies. Leave room for them.

Dirty fries. Definitely dirty fries.

Ooh and a tub of brownies and millionaire mini bites - you can usually get a deal 2 for something.

But don’t forget the dirty fries

showmewhatyougot · 13/03/2020 14:32

Bakery items are great there!

Yum nuts (love baby of a donut and a yum yum)
Chocolate cookies
Percy muffins
Apple turn overs

Also if you like milkshake, their special vanilla chocolate one is unbelievable!

All so good!

Oh god I'm pregnant and making myself hungry now.

For me it is red delicious apples. I do love my sweet treats but you can basically get them anywhere - but I can't find red delicious apples anywhere else.

PunishmentSnart · 13/03/2020 15:04

@Tiredtiredtiredtiredtired Dirty fries - they sound delicious, what are they?

I agree with posters saying the little buckets of millionaire bites etc, and also the beef flavour crisps are heaven!

I'm obsessed with their jaffa cakes, I can polish off a double pack no problem Blush they are thin and rectangular shape, much nicer than normal jaffa cakes!

Palavah · 13/03/2020 15:13

Deli picky bits like manchego wrapped in chorizo, feta parcels and chargrilled artichokes.

Loo roll.

TheDuchessofDukeStreet · 13/03/2020 15:16

Their Eve’s pudding is very good. Their grapes, fresh fruit in general. And salt and vinegar chipsticks.

Gronky · 13/03/2020 15:19

Definitely their chocolate orange biscuits (really, more a slab of orange flavoured chocolate with some token shortbread hiding inside).

Lippy1234 · 13/03/2020 15:22

White chocolate mountain bar.

LaurieMarlow · 13/03/2020 15:25

They have some cookie dough bite things that are AMAZING.

Just don’t look at the calories 🙈

I agree on the deli bits. I also love their pies.

Ooh Scones, jam and clotted cream.

Grumpbum123 · 13/03/2020 15:26

They do a salad which comes in a brown round tub, the blue cheese, butternut squash, beetroot with candied pecans is amazing!

itsstillgood · 13/03/2020 15:32

Victoria sponge muffins.
Swiss rolls - coffee is the best but like them all.
Cornish cruncher cheese

Percy pigs
Still lemonade
Sausage rolls with crispy bacon on top

No M&S locally any more. Makes me sad.

APurpleSquirrel · 13/03/2020 15:36

Sweet Chilli Crinkle Cut Crisp

dottiedodah · 13/03/2020 15:38

A nice couple of steaks ,some wine for you,something non alcoholic for hubs and I love their lemon meringue roulade too ! Round off with some nice chocolates ! Have a great evening and congrats to you both xx

buttermilkwaffles · 13/03/2020 15:40

Box of Operetta chocolates, they are on offer at £2 and basically a copy of Ferrero Rocher, so if you like Ferrero Rocher...

The lemon and lime curd small yoghurts.

Agree with the Serrano ham crisps, got some the other day reduced to 50p.

I like the little Middle Eastern style lamb and harrissa pastries, usually get them in the 3 for £7 deli offer along with Kalamata olives and marinated anchovies or when yellow sticker reduced.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 13/03/2020 15:42

I am all about the Marmite cream cheese on toasted bagels.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 13/03/2020 15:43

@GinDrinker00 😉😁😉

buttermilkwaffles · 13/03/2020 15:48

By the way, the Serrano ham crisps are not flavoured potato crisps, they are literally crispy pieces of Serrano ham and so are in the same section as the other deli meats, not in the crisps section. Smile

SuperMeerkat · 13/03/2020 16:00

I don’t get the obsession with Percy pigs, average at best. Pretty much any of their cheesecakes are great and the 4 pack dips (thousand island etc) with some crisps. 😋

Skittlesss · 13/03/2020 16:09

They do these amazing rice cakes with Belgian chocolate on. They’re gorgeous.

united4ever · 13/03/2020 16:26

candy floss grapes, or the really black grapes they do. the Currys are good....especially the dahl. agree about the jaffa cakes too...way better than mcvities

pinksquash13 · 13/03/2020 16:35

Mini colin the caterpillars

NoveltyFunsies · 13/03/2020 16:36

Their mini Colin the caterpillars are AMAZING!
