Have you bought any food/goodies yet?

[Shitfuckoh]

Who's already started on their 'treats' for Christmas?
I like to start buying a few things with the weekly shop and whenever I see anything on offer that we always eat, means it doesn't seem as bad looking at the receipt discovering I've spent £££s on junk!

So far I've got:
2 x Cheeselets (Treeslets) caddys
2 x Victoria biscuits box
1 x Cadburys & oreo biscuit box
2 x Matchmakers
3 x Chocolate Oranes
1 x box of chocolate covered lebkuchen
1 x Quality Street bag

What's your favourite Christmas treat?

@Mummyilovejokes1 thanks for that. Will look in there soon. ☺️

I got some danish butter cookies from Aldi. But tbh I mainly bought them the tin

Is it the cute little tin which they had last year? We got through far too many cookies last year; they're amazing!

I never used to be keen on Danish butter cookies but I haven't tried them since I was (much!) younger so may get some this year to see if that's changed

Like pp I tend to get a one or two items in the weekly shop to put aside. So far I have:

Speculoos biscuits in a tin
Jar of salted caramel sauce
Big box of Cadbury snowy finger (half milk / half white chocolate finger)
Holdsworth Espresso martini chocolates
Ham and cola crisps
I've frozen some pancakes to have christmas morning in the toaster
Adult pop like Appletise, bitter lemon and mint, Shloer.

I have bought so far:
2 x jars of Asda finest mincemeat as it's gorgeous
Cranberry sauce 🤣
2 x boxes of mint matchmakers
2 x boxes of orange matchmakers
After Eights
Terrys Choc Orange
Box of Malteser truffles
Galaxy truffles
Tub of Cadbury Heroes
We ate a tub of Quality Street 🤣🤫

@mummymayhem18 I don't find Quality Street as nice as they used to be! Did you end up with all the 'pennies' left over?!

We went to John Lewis today to buy a personalised Quality Street tin. No toffees at all in our tin as all the DC have braces at the moment. Lots of green triangles and fruit creams

I live white toblerone at Christmas, I've been eyeing them up but I know if I buy one I'll eat it . So no much nearer to Christmas for me to buy treats.

Love not live .

wineisnecessary, Poundland do their own white chocolate "Toblerone" called "Twin Peaks" . Better than the original, big bars too.

So far:

Malteser truffles
Two tubs of roses
Tub of heroes
Two panettones
Some fancy dark chocolate
Cranberry sauce
Ordered the turkey crown
Mincemeat (the brandy infused one from Aldi)

2 stolen (Lidl hazelnut one and Tesco squidgy cherry one)
Neideregger marzipan
Marzipan fruits
Toblerone x3 (trad, dark, milk)
Matchmakers x2
Cashews
Crackers
Olives
2 boxes of chocolates (Aldi & Waitrose
Orange and lemon jellies
Big tub of Bassetts sherbet sweets
Aldi truffles
Violet creams & pink gin creams (also Aldi)

Salted caramel fudge
Ritter Sport fruit & nut chocolate
Chocolate-enrobed nuts & dried fruit
Nice beers
Fake Baileys

That's just what I can remember offhand

Still need: panettone, panforte, knock-off Advocaat

Um, stollen, not been shoplifting (bloody autocorrect!)

No but I was eyeing up some beautiful biscuit trees in the butchers today.Going to make the Christmas Cakes soon.

WoW! Bella we can't order our turkey until 1st Dec.

Shloer was always known as children's wine in our house.

About 7 boxes of matchmakers, all the different flavours!
Some lebruaken(sp) mixed and the large ones from aldi(does anyone wish they still did just the plain white ones instead of mixed with choc ones? Love the white ones!)
2bott,es of straw and cream baileys
2bottles ballycastle faileys
Pretzel stars, two bags
Lots of different flavoured share bag crisps like steak and cheese and rosemary Andy stuffing, about 8 bags as dp is a crisp fiend!
One big box of shortbread-never get given any so buying myself this
Yr!
One tin of butter biscuits with polar bears and music, possibly the most expensive biccies I’ve ever bought but I really wanted the tin!
3 pks of Oreos

Think that’s about it so far, just adding bits weekly as and when I see or if on offer!

2x boxes of M&S chocolates
2x boxes of M&S Belgium biscuits

I have to hide them away in a non-kitchen cupboard or they’d be over before Advent.

Just found irish cream French fancies

Rusty - just added Speculoos to my basket

@Shitfuckoh . Yes we don't really eat the toffees. My favourites are the strawberry and orange creams and the coconut eclair 😋. Last year though my husband bought me one of the tins that you can choose your favourites so you aren't left with any you don't like. 👍

I8toys Speculoos spread or biscuits? I keep eyeing the speculoos biscuits so I doubt they'd even make it to December

Biscuits. There's a spread?

Are you in the UK I8toys? Speculoos is, i believe, the continental European version of Biscoff Lotus spread in the UK. Be warned however, it is crack in a jar!!

Lotus spread

Well I did buy some Christmas chocolate but my dp and I after a night out pissed opened the tin and snaffled half of the contents so we vowed to wait until at least December.

DP is a bit of a chocolate snob so he’ll want some posh chocolate Côte d’Or most likely. I on the other hand would be happy with a tin of Cadbury’s heroes.

My Christmas cake has been made and I’m thinking of making fudge, peppermint creams, mince pies and mini chocolate logs.

Cheese and gin will be consumed by the truckload at our house so I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for some nice offerings.

Four boxes of the chocolate creams from Aldi - rose, orange, violet and strawberry. Need to get the mint ones! And the candy can peppermint gin liquor!
