And I don't feel even the slightest bit unreasonable. In fact, I bought them knowing that I'd sit and eat them all as soon as I got home.

What do you regularly buy, knowing that you will use/eat the lot of it?

Chocolate fingers
Tubs of ice cold crispy cherry tomatoes

Sweet / salty popcorn

Good grief but I still look wistfully in the freezers for the Sara Lee choc gateau from time to time. I never ate the whole thing as I'd leave a lot of the actual cake stuff in the middle (when too full) but the soft chocolate cream around the outside was lush.

Also French stick, and garlic cheese

Me too! Getting peckish just thinking about it now haha

I love this thread. Is full of my people.

I try not to buy a "sharing" bag of crisps as they get demolished the same day as they were opened. I think "share with who?".

Oh I forgot these! Wasabi coated peanuts

Miget gems I can eat a whole bag between the coop and my house which is only about a mile and a half.

Moggyd · 29/08/2022 23:57

Another vote for the custard cream, biscuit royalty. I now don't buy them because I will not stop until they have all gone and then I feel very sick! I miss them ...

PeloAddict · 29/08/2022 23:40

I like the flavour of wasabi, but every other bite of whatever is coated in it ends up in my nostrils... and it burns!

PeloAddict · 30/08/2022 00:03

@XenoBitch that's the only reason I can't eat the lot - my nose is on fire Grin

I cannot buy the biscoff spread - I will just eat it by the spoonful

I have been on a shake diet for a year nearly so not heard of biscoff spread - omfg!

maddening · 30/08/2022 00:04

And s 1200 cal soup diet for 2 years before that 🥺

Make a Biscoff shake Grin

IcakethereforeIam · 30/08/2022 00:06

@maddening I have no idea what a shake diet is*, but biscoff spread is great in milkshakes.

*sounds dreadful, commiserations Flowers.

maddening · 30/08/2022 00:12

@IcakethereforeIam it is exante 800 cals plan. Thanks It is depressing but working better than the 1200 cals (shit metabolism- pcos and hashimoto) so hard going. I wish that adding it to shakes would not defeat the purpose but will look our for it when I have reprises like Christmas!

IcakethereforeIam · 30/08/2022 00:23

I'm glad you've got some respite, roll on Xmas!

Bought a big bag of sweet chilli crisps today. Opened and finished them tonight. Nobody will ever know 😂

Ineedhelp1981 · 30/08/2022 01:35

I can eat a whole:
Tesco Oaties biscuit dipped in tea (me yesterday)
Sweet popcorn (me yesterday)
Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli - the big bag (me last Thursday)
Walkers Sensations Roast Chicken and Thyme - the big bag (me last Friday)

Yes, I'm going on a diet on Monday and need to get all my favourites out the way 🥴

I miss Sara Lee pecan danish. Does anywhere still do the raspberry jam-filled pink iced buns or the lemon curd-filled yellow iced ones? Could eat all 5 of those too. If you don’t separate them surely they’re just one cake…

Yes! M&S food do the raspberry jam ones!

Oh, that means I can get them from Ocado… Will remember that next time I do a ‘posh shop’ instead of the usual budget one, thank you!

lickenchugget · 30/08/2022 05:03

Whole loaves of sourdough and lurpak
The mixed party snack crisps from M&S - black pepper flavour
Pralines and cream haagen daas

Thirdsummerofourdiscontent · 30/08/2022 05:32

I just ate a quarter of a packet of oven fries. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Might help me sleep this morning.

GreengrocerFriend · 30/08/2022 05:45

Those Maoam sweets. Something about the lactic acid. I once started eating some in the street and I was like an animal, no pause between them.
It was embarrassing, so I put half the packet in a bin.
