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 .

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.

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

chillipenguin · 30/08/2022 17:15

Can you freeze them?

Muchtoomuchtodo · 30/08/2022 17:17

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

I love the last sentence!

AnyFucker · 30/08/2022 18:49

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

Rebelmcstreettuff · 30/08/2022 18:56

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

Blossomtoes · 30/08/2022 19:00

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

Figgygal · 30/08/2022 19:02

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

Roselilly36 · 30/08/2022 19:22

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

balalake · 30/08/2022 19:36

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!

HannahSternDefoe · 30/08/2022 19:39

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

OriginalUsername2 · 30/08/2022 19:40

“And yes I bloody did buy some 🤣“

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

RachelGreep87 · 30/08/2022 19:46

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