To spend £15 on a bag of pic n mix

I am craving pic n mix. We try not to go out unless really necessary. I have found an online store that will send you 700g of pic n mix for £10 + £4.95 delivery. Is that just a ridiculous amount to spend?

YABU = No Pic N Mix
YANBU = Yes get Pic N Mix

That’s extortion. You can get 3kg of dolly mixtures for £15 delivered from Amazon!

YANBU Enjoy 🍬

If you can afford it, and it will cheer you up, then go for it. I will be jealous, though, and I am now craving Pick ‘n Mix too - and that is your fault! I’ll let you off, though. WinkGrin

I would love a pick n mix - do it!

Fred578 · 08/05/2020 15:38

It depends on the calibre of the pic n mix

ssd · 08/05/2020 15:38

Of course it crazy. But if you can afford it get it. Hard Times, life's too short etc.
In actual fact, just think fuck it.

What's in pik n mix

SpratsOnParade · 08/05/2020 15:41

YABU. You can get more for your money. Dream Candy are doing two 1 kilo pic and mix for £20 with free delivery.

AuntieDolly · 08/05/2020 15:41

I can get 1kg for £10 delivered from a local Facebook business

SpratsOnParade · 08/05/2020 15:41

dreamcandy.co.uk

And you can possibly get cheaper elsewhere if you look.

YANBU but can I recommend this one. It's a local to me shop that has started shipping nationwide recently - it's 1kg for £10.50 and you can get premixed bags or choose your own selection.
Might as well get as many sweets as you can for your money Wink

I just paid £24 for pick n mix from a quarter of website Shock

nikkylou · 08/05/2020 15:50

Not unreasonable to want pick and mix.

Totally unreasonable to pay that price. That's £1.40+ per 100g plus then delivery....

I'm sure you can find cheaper. Are you after a random selection, or want to pick the sweets? If you want to pick, do you want to have little bits of lots, or a lot of a little, if that makes sense?

I've used aquarterof before, which is good if you want a lot of a little as they sell everything in 250g

skankingpiglet · 08/05/2020 15:51

I may be enticed into spending that much if I was able to do the picking. There's no way I'd pay that for something containing eg a load of foam bananas (or any foam sweets for that matter). I love pick'n'mix, but I'm fussy over which bits.
Are you not going out at all? Can you not buy loads of those 25p bags of penny sweets in your next big shop and mix them yourself once home? Once delivery time is accounted for, there may be little difference in when you would be tucking into them.

Wilkos are still open around here. They may still have their P&M out?

Eeyoresstickhouse · 08/05/2020 15:51

I just bought 1kg of gelato to be delivered tomorrow from the local gelato place. Cost me £15.50 but will be worth it.

Winter2020 · 08/05/2020 15:54

We made our own pick and mix buying bags of sweets at tesco (chocolate raisons, pastilles, winegums, squashies, laces, fudge, dolly mixture). It was also not cheap.

tealandteal · 08/05/2020 15:54

I bought about 700g of pick and mix and some fudge for £15 inc delivery. I could choose random pick and mix or just the sweets I wanted which was fab as I am fussy! Was so worth it

alfagirl73 · 08/05/2020 15:54

I really want pixie mix now! Get it and enjoy it! :-)

HoyaFlower · 08/05/2020 15:55

You can never be unreasonable to buy sweets

nevermorelenore · 08/05/2020 15:56

You can get bulk bags of haribo from amazon for that. Mmm 3kg of gummy bears.

mogloveseggs · 08/05/2020 15:59

Why did I click on @SpratsOnParade link! I want pick and mix now Sad

Doidontimmm · 08/05/2020 16:00

My boyfriend has some very particular ones he likes so I was very choosy as it’s a little lift me up for him!

Puddlesplasher · 08/05/2020 16:04

Far cheaper on Amazon!

QuixoticQuokka · 08/05/2020 16:05

I would just buy sweets with my next shop. Unless you are only shopping fortnightly?

Hwyrynos · 08/05/2020 16:11

Only if it includes coconut mushrooms and haribo jelly babies 😋
