OK own up who has bought their Christmas tins of sweets then?

[captainbovine]

no, but I've bought a box of chocklits as a Christmas present.

have you noticed they've gone smaller than last year too Ed? only 740gms I think, I'm sure they were 980gm last year.

OH just noms them if I get some too early. I can't (shouldn't) have them.

[brynteg11]

Nope, wouldn't last until Christmas here either!

[ed_blackadder_1]

Yes they are smaller, went down to £4.00 today, Last year I bought one early. ate it by the end of September then bought another and so on and so on, I am not going to do it this year .

September payday is the time OH and I invade Aldi and buy all the Christmas goodies - they have an impressive range of continental goodies but they quickly sell out and there's only the junk stuff left - oh, and a few bottles of whisky, gin and Calvados to was it down with of course...

FWIW, I've made all my Christmas cards for this year too

[xtf70]

Doh!  * wash *

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh no don't you just hate organised people .  

[captainbovine]

what's FWIW? is fick........

I often buy stuff for Christmas early on, tinned stuff and bits and bobs that will sell out quick. I love Aldi Christmas stuff, OH loves their chocklit, and I have a friend who loves marzipan, which they sell in fancy wrappings. I bought her tons of it last year.

[ilove2patch]

They were £5 in my Tesco today.

[ed_blackadder_1]

I think 3 sorts were £4 and 1 celebrations was 5

[ilove2patch]

Roses were £5 as I was a teeny bit tempted! lol

[ed_blackadder_1]

Unusual usually the same price everywhere.   I am always tempted but I really mustn't. no really I musn't

[notgrumpyreally]

So this is the time of the year I tip away the left over ones from last year? The end of the Easter eggs might as well go too. I like those red ball things with the gooey centres though.

[stan3502]

I'm more of a nut's kinda gal............................ no not those ones before you say anything grumpy.. the chestnut variety

Nope - being a bah humbug this year and not going to buy any.  They are getting less and less in them so I will spend my money on something else

[**roofie**]

For what it's worth CB.

[hansrey64]

I am not buying any tins of sweets or anything of that matter until Christmas. No need to buy it all now as you send a lot more.
