Christmas stock in the shops now! 🎄

[SaraHoliday]

🎄 Harrods Christmas shop is open!

🎄 I'm reliably informed that 'Christmas' is arriving in B&M the first week of September too!

Will you all buy now and save them for Christmas? I know that if I even try that, i will unfortunately be forced to eat them 🙃🙃

Heck No !
I need to sample them then find out what we like and what we don't for repurchasing research .
Didn't like the Mint Ball thingies that were out a couple of years ago ( like a Terry's Chocolate Orange but mint)
Did very much like the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Limencello Panettone so I won't buy the Home Sense ones this year .
Mince Pies need a taste test as soon as humanely possible ( Sainsbury's Bakery Shortcrust)

Bought some mince pies this morning in Sainsburys. DH has just found them....

"LEAH! Mince Pies!!! Really?? It's a slippery slope..." Then he wandered off, muttering something about it being September.

I told him he doesn't have to eat them, but like @70isaLimitNotaTarget I like to sample them so I don't end up with duff ones at Christmas.

I discovered Lebkuchan last year in Aldi, never had them before omg my new favourite thing. Unfortunately dh didn't like them so I had to eat them all including the two boxes I got when they were reduced. I did buy dd a box to take home. Can't wait for this year.

There is a plain type and an iced type - both delicious!

I got the plain but i'm open to trying both.

I support this way of living and will too start purchasing christmas food to taste test them 😏

I second that motion 😁

Why are people always surprised when this happens every September?!

If you lot see me doing a supermarket sweep in m&s on monday, in the name of christmas prep, please dont judge me, i'm having a fabulous time 😄🙈

Christmas decorations are now online in
M & S recently.

They have some nice designs.
Last year I purchased four decorations as they were only £5.00 each.

This year the price is around £8.00 -10.00 each. Just purchased two this year.

Not paying £40.00 for 4 decorations.

I once went a bit mad in John Lewis and spent £120 on not that many decorations!

I now buy them from there in the sale instead.

We've bought a few when we've been on trips this year, such as from the Titantic museum and also the NHM. I don't need to buy more probably still will if anything catches my eye! 🎄

I agree! John Lewis is dangerous to buy Christmas decorations from! 1 becomes 3 then becomes 9....
