I just ate a whole pack of french fancies

[Hawdyerwheesht]

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?

Money was tight when I was a kid, so you couldn't touch anything until it had been opened.
I was 18 when I found out that my mum (with surgical precision) would make a cut on one side of a packet of chocolate digestives. The packet would then be stood on end in the fridge and she would have one with her morning coffee.
On the weekend, as a treat, a plate of biscuits would be produced to universal acclaim.

@spanktastic you sound just like my youngest daughter! She still says the happiest day of her life was when our chest freezer broke & I had to cook about a ton of chicken all at the same time.. :-)

My weakness is brazil nuts.. I tell myself it's fine because they are good for you. Maybe not in the quantities I scoff them.. AND they have after effects.. :-(

My previous fave was trifle. Thank goodness I'm lactose intolerant or I'd be the size of a bloody house. If anyone knows any made without dairy, PLEASE don't tell me!

A pack of 4 cream chocolate éclairs, any share bag of crisps, a box of matchmakers, but I always feel guilty.

Matchmakers are now so small a portion even someone with normal habits would not consider it unreasonable to eat the whole box. I can eat a whole box of crunchy nut cornflakes. I don't like cereal apart from CNC. I never ever buy them now.

You are not BU if it was a box of all lemon ones, however, you are BU if they were mixed.. lemon ones are the best & there should be no upper limit on those..

@AdditionalCharacter OMG Wotsits! They were my pregnancy craving with DD last year! Someone brought a sharing bag to our house at Christmas (I was eight months pregnant) and I went off into a corner with them and growled at anyone who came near 😂

Ah, but are you CRYING and shaking? You've got to be crying too or it just doesn't count on Mumsnet I'm afraid...

Babybelle cheese. I could eat 100’s. 😂

Omg the winter French fancies 🤤🤤 frosty fancies is that what they're called?

I could polish off most things lol. I am a greedy gorb

Ooh my favourite - where do you get them from?

Packet of shortbread

Were you channelling your inner Labrador?

I can't be trusted with fresh, squashy hot cross buns, bannock fruit cake, McCoys Salt n Vinegar or salted peanuts. Can't leave them alone until the whole lot is gone. I don't buy these things anymore.

I can recommend keeping Lemon Fondant Fancies in the freezer. This was my go to indulgence in the summer with a piping hot cup of Yorkshire tea.

M&Ms.

Does anyone remember when Mr Kipling apple pies had custard inside them? I could have eaten them by the lorry load.

A whole multi pack of pickled onion monster munch.

Could easily do that. Nothing to those cakes anymore. Everything has shrunk in size.

A four pack of crème caramel. Not fancy M&S ones the four for a pound from sainsbury or Tesco.

Cheese.

Camembert and bread.

Giant wotsits

Wait - what? Kellogg's Crunchy Nut peanut butter exists? That might have to go straight on the can't be trusted list!

A MASSIVE SALAD.

Only kidding. Colin the Caterpillar cake.

Coconut mushrooms

Tunnucks tea cakes
KitKat's - chunky or regular
Creme eggs - easily 2 boxes
Dairy milk - big bar
Whole loaf of crusty bread (crust very burnt) with real butter
A loaf of toast with above mentioned butter - Waitrose do a nice one with salt crystals in 🤤

@Underthehills the giant ones are very addictive, either the cheese or flaming hot ones the prawn cocktail ones belong in hell.

Big bags of Kettle chips

🤣
