Love having a good snacky cupboard at Christmas

Apricot filled milk chocolate liebkuchen hearts from Lidl. Dark chocolate gingers. Extra special florentines from Aldi. Very merry munch from m and s. Strawberry and some pistachio lindor balls with a mixed box thrown in for variety. Dancake rum balls in 3 flavours.

Cheeslets (the Xmas tree shaped cheese crackers) so so delicious

I’ve bought Baileys does that count as a snack?

Oh I love Xmas trees!

I haven't started yet as I'm a greedy bitch and would eat the lot

I cannot wait to sit in front of the tv with a brew, the Christmas tree lights on and my hands in the tub of celebrations!!

Bugger all, as I'd eat the lot before December!!

I will start getting a few bits mid November ish. Last year I bought -

Nice crackers
Christmas animals (Cadbury)
Gingerbread
Chocolates for my sweet bowl

Week before Christmas we go and buy loads of cheeeeesssseeee!!

Oh and I'm eyeing up baileys chocolate - even though I'm pretty much tee total

They wouldn't make it out of October. We ate the Christmas pudding I bought (grabbed it as it was vegan for my db)

M and s black pepper cashews
Toffifee
Twiglets
Cheese balls

Nothing yet as I have no willpower!

I have some stashed away but it's nearly all for others!😂I have chocolate coins for everyone, selection boxes, Terry's Chocolate Oranges, chocolate advent calendars (Bit of a chocolate theme there!). For me I have been stocking up on Pepsi Max, and for the day it self, 2 bottles of Shloer. I need to get a nice white chocolate hamper for a relative as a gift but haven't found a suitable one yet.

hmm i have tried this before and we either end up with to much or it gets eaten.Personally on the big christmas shop i tell each of the children you may pick any 3 christmas snacks to eat over the festive period within reason.That way everyone gets something they want without going over the top .ME and my other half may pick up a few bits sooner when we do the presents shop like get a tin of shortbread or something nice from m&s

Nowt! would be too tempting !

Will start at beginning of December - can’t wait!

Where did you get the rum balls from? I bloody love them and nowhere seems to stock them any more.

@PinkArt

Iceland always seem to have them at this time of the year and I’ve had no issues getting all 3 flavours. I stock up and try to squirrel stash them in several places so I don’t eat them all at once.

Sadly me neither. I never get anything until mid December then I have a big Xmas treats shop.

I bought some florentines but I ate them. ☺️

They were nice though. I have no regrets.

Yes, absolutely. I don't buy Christmas anything before December though.

So far-

last years Christmas pudding ..or might be the year before ! Still in there
Lemon panettonne 1 large , 1 mini . The small one will get eaten in November
Waitrose lemon curd
I ordered some Hotel Chocolat , some for the DC and some for me , I love chocolate marzipan but rarely eat chocolate now so look forward to it
Fentimans ginger beer
Aperol for DD, soda and prosecco

I'll buy the rest in November/December or it'll get eaten.

We’ve only got two big tins of quality street so far. Usually we have more stashed by now, but I’ve been concentrating on presents and we’re 90% done now so can start stocking the food up this month.

on my list to add on to this weeks food shop:

caramelised onion chutney
3x pigs in blankets for the freezer
2x stuffing mix
Christmas flavour crisps

Ha, same!

DD2 and I were in Tesco salivating in the Christmas snack aisle! 😂 There were loads of new things in that we can't wait to try!

So far we've only bought a couple of boxes of mint match makers and some After eight mints and elizabeth Shaw mints because we've been concentrating on getting the stockings done(I have 8 of them to do)and picking up presents.

Hopefully I'll have most of the present shoping down by the middle of November and then I can go and buy the Christmas food and drinks goodies.

So far I've got:

Chocolate coins for the stockings
Terrys chocolate orange minis - the popping candy ones
Marzipan fruits 😋
Lindt reindeers x8 (stockings!)
A 'proper' tin of heroes. Not the plasticy half sized nonsense :P

Basically the stuff I know might sell out. Don't trust myself with anything I know I could replace 😂

I’ve just got in some dark chocolate covered ginger, maple brazils, orangettes and some mini Lebkuchen. The Lebkuchen might have been a replacement for a bag we polished off already
Very tempted to get some marrons glacés as well but not sure they will survive until Christmas and they are pricy!

I think mine will have to go in the loft or I will eat it.
