Mince pies ffs

[Moneymoneymoney1979]

Went to Morrisons to buy some bread this morning. There in the bread & cake section were flipping mince pies and Christmas cakes! Best before date of mince pies 10.10.22. It's August. August FFS. Best before date more than 2 months before Christmas.

And yes I bloody did buy some 🤣

I got hot cross buns in Tesco today! Didn’t realise they sold them year round! Mince pies are going the same way!

Ooh whoopee. I freeze a few boxes after Christmas to last until the next one but non left now so will be off to stock up .

Wahoooooo! Love a mince pie.
I've just picked up my onions for pickling, can't wait to get started

There were Halloween cupcakes in my local coffee shop today. Fresh cupcakes to be eaten ASAP, not even anything you could keep for two months. Nuts.

Great , hope Costco start doing theirs soon , love a mince pie .

Everyone knows they come out from now so that several varieties can be sampled before pinning down your favourite for Christmas Day.

Can you freeze them?

What great news! Thanks for sharing @Moneymoneymoney1979

Let people enjoy things

I shall be checking next shop, love mince pies and christmas cake.

Ooooooh I love a mince pie. If they are available from Asda then they're being added to the online shop tomorrow (no Morrisson's close enough for delivery here).

@chillipenguin
Yes ! I always freeze a few boxes and when I am desperate for a bit of christmas the rest of the year I defrost one in a warm oven and enjoy . YUM

Genius

I love the last sentence!

Mince pies, you say ? <goes to amend Morrisons delivery>

I love M&S puff pastry mince pies.
Aways buy 3 or 4 boxes and freeze them.

Oooooh mince pies! Thanks for the tip off @Moneymoneymoney1979.

I need to find some then i think 10th September was my previous record
Hate the things but my 10 year old loves them

Great news, I love mince pies, so does DS2 I will be looking out for them.

Halloween merchandise and food in August or even September, I think is awful. Indeed Halloween merchandise at any time of year.

Mince pies each to their own, just don't fancy them in warm weather.

Hot cross buns are on the shelves all year round where as mince pies are not but should be.

Thanks for the head up OP! I'm off to stock up.

She does say she bought some!

Excellent news on the mince pie front...just need the weather to capitulate and we've made it to Autumn (Meteorological on Thurs)

“And yes I bloody did buy some 🤣“

So relatable! I’m imagining myself angrily putting them in my basket!

Christmas traditionally began at the end of August when X Factor auditions started, so they are right on time
