Sorry for the double post but the Lidl Deluxe Mince Pies are really nice. I'm not usually a huge fan of mince pies but had one round my Dads and they were very good.

Going to go and get a box tomorrow. Good price at £1.50 too.

And it was then that I realised that there was no price so low that it would cause me to purchase one of these

Yeah, I live for good yellow sticker deals (line up ladies and gents) but even I ain't touching that one.

The Greggs mince pie has become the mince pie of choice in our house this year and have been a staple since early November. I was buying two boxes of the fucking things a week at one point. None of the supermarket brand ones come close.

The mega cheap Christmas veg has hit supermarkets today.

Lidl seem the best bet, as they have gazumped everyone by selling it all for 5p. Plus they have Deluxe shallots in their selection.

Morrisons have done the same. It's going to be hell isn't it?

Pretty much yeah, best to go very early, or very late and hope they have restocked.

Not so much a hint, more a Party Political Broadcast.
