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

These are all good ideas. I could go to the shop to get a selection and mix them together like @skankingpiglet suggested but we don’t need anything else and shopping just for pic n mix seems wrong.
I suppose I could just wait until we need more items ☹️.

You could just go and get it yourself. Lots of supermarkets near me sell pick n mix. The only difference with getting it delivered is that all the people who pick, pack and deliver will be putting themselves at risk for your pick n mix instead of you.

We got a pick and mix plus giant cables etc delivered by a local business on Facebook I'm sure you can find one. He put it on the doorstep and then waited outside the gate whilst I opened the door and picked it up. Totally worth it

You should definitely get pick and mix. It's just that you can get more for your money from other sites, or shops as some suggested. Asda are particularly good for pic and mix type sweets imho.

Go to Wilko's for 'paracetamol' Wink

Racoonworld · 08/05/2020 16:21

I did this a couple of weeks ago abc it was so good, much better than supermarket packet sweets. You should do it Grin

twinboymumma · 08/05/2020 16:26

Google "sweetzy" - I'm sure they're much cheaper and delicious.

Erictheavocado · 08/05/2020 16:31

I was going to say yabu. Then I remembered that only this morning I've 'filled' a box with pick and mix Lindt balls from the Lindt website. It's about the same price as you are contemplating, so who am I to say you shouldn't! Now off to complete my purchase.

EasterIssland · 08/05/2020 16:37

Yabu. Now you’ve made me want pick n mix and not sure where to get it from !I want one for myself Grin

MoroseMoose · 08/05/2020 16:38

Try Sweetzy or there are loads of local Facebook businesses which are delivering pick and mix (at least in my area). And no yanbu to want some 😋

SpratsOnParade · 08/05/2020 16:40

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

Sorry. I want pick and mix too now. I'd ordered from the site for a friend's birthday but I neglected to get some for myself but I'll certainly being doing so soon.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 08/05/2020 16:40

You can get bulk bags of haribo from amazon for that. Mmm 3kg of gummy bears. Just don’t get the sugar free ones.

Ilikeanimalsmorethanpeople · 08/05/2020 16:43

Just to say Sweetzy are brilliant I ordered 2kg and them are them all in 5 days.

Cityonlockdown · 08/05/2020 16:58

How have I got it so wrong, on Sweetzy?

Strawberry Bonbon × 1

Haribo Heart Throbs × 7

= £5.99

Cityonlockdown · 08/05/2020 17:00

Haribo Turtles × 35 = £16.99.

I think it's a no from me.

z0fl0ra · 08/05/2020 17:03

I ordered a 1.5kg choose your own pick n mix from a website called Fudge and Candy Shack, they had so much choice and you could choose your own I deffo recommend

SpratsOnParade · 08/05/2020 17:05

*Haribo Turtles × 35 = £16.99.

I think it's a no from me.*

That doesn't seem bad for 1750 g of sweets?

lockeddownandcrazy · 08/05/2020 17:09

The thing about pick and mix is it has been handled - for me thats a no go, especially at the moment.

Daisyhut · 08/05/2020 17:14

@z0fl0ra how much did that cost?

Inthemuckheap · 08/05/2020 17:16

Bloody expensive bag of sugar!

UnderLockdown · 08/05/2020 17:22

YABU it is essentially a bag of sugar. You don't want dental issues during this pandemic- I would move away from the sweets

Coffeeandteach · 08/05/2020 17:30

We got a KG on ebay for much cheaper than that.

mum11970 · 08/05/2020 17:44

Gees just go to the local supermarket or corner shop.

VeganCow · 08/05/2020 17:50

Swizzels are cheap you can get direct from them or on Amazon

abcde11 · 08/05/2020 18:01

B&M sell a movie mix sweet bag for about £2!
