3 bags of dolly mixtures for a £1 instead of 39p each, right I'll be sensible and get 3 - but of course I've scoffed the lot!
Multipack of crisps, handy to have in.....no, only 1 pack left!

? !!!!

Oh dear, I am not a fan of dolly mixtures but anything similar and I would have had a pack a day. I have some self control, not a lot!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 21-Jun-16 13:30:39

[shock Don't buy! Ignore the "bargains". Tell y ourself they are only cheap because other, thinner, folk don't want to buy them.

Turkish delight. 3 for £1 in Tesco . I don't let's myself shop there. Local shop PO has one pack of Turkish Delight 89p. Far too expensive. Therefore Very kind to my waistline .

Wish I'd read that a couple of hours ago Stansgran I've just returned from there and I love Turkish delight.

My OH does this. On my kitchen table are 2 bags of dolly mixtures, 2 bags of foamy bananas, 1 bag of fudge and 1 bag of chocolate raisins. He rarely eats sweets, so it's down to me. Well, it be a pity to waste them!!grin

At least it's not just me then smile
Made the mistake of getting tempted in the pound shop yesterday. Multipack of Milky Bar buttons. I thought "oh they are only 109 calories per bag, handy for when you really fancy something sweet." Thing is it's 109 calories when you eat just the one (tiny) bag. There os one left at least, can't think where the other three vanished to

Well thats just made me want some Percy Pigs, thanks for that!!

Kateykrunch Tue 21-Jun-16 16:18:21

Kateykrunch Tue 21-Jun-16 16:19:15

Ooooo jingle, so right.....

Kateykrunch Tue 21-Jun-16 16:20:24

And I also crave turkish delight and chocolate buttons, you lot are no help at all...well, jingle was at least.

Badenkate Tue 21-Jun-16 18:21:31

I am as weak-willed as you Katey so I DON'T BUY!!! If I do, then I can hear them calling me from wherever I've hidden them out of sight. I suggest you do the same sad

rosesarered Tue 21-Jun-16 18:43:59

Heehee, yes, it's a siren call isn't it?From the depths of the drawer/cupboard or wherever we have stashed them away.Who can resist?

Every time I go to The Range I can't leave without buying sweets. It's become a habit blush. The other day it was a bag of peppermint creams. They were individually wrapped so I thought that would slow down the scoffing. No chance> Let me tell you it is very easy to unwrap peppermint creams while driving.
I've either got to break this habit, or stop going to The Range hmm

Indinana Tue 21-Jun-16 19:08:04

Don't know why that > crept in there. Oh yes, I know! I held down the shift key when I wanted a fullstop!

Well thanks a bunch, you lot. Reading about all your gluttony has prompted me to raid the DGS's treat tin - 2 Freddos and a packet (a teensy, tiny packet) of chocolate Buttons later, I'm now thinking about their choc ices, hidden away in the depths of the cellar freezer.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 21-Jun-16 19:51:01

Maggiemaybe there's a ghost down there.

grannylyn65 Tue 21-Jun-16 22:15:28

Well we just had new Range opened!
And 'proper' Turkish Delight; tried to make some. It did go well sad

Maggiemaybe Tue 21-Jun-16 23:07:34

Good try, jingl grin

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 21-Jun-16 23:09:14

Bet you still went down there. grin

Maggiemaybe Tue 21-Jun-16 23:18:52

I'm fearless, me (and some might say incredibly greedy).

Kateykrunch Mon 04-Jul-16 17:39:46

Ooooo heck!, Asda online shop and it was 5 for a £1, I've had the Refresher Bursts, they were lovely!, 2 bags of Dolly Mixtures, another Refresher Burst and a Mix Up, should last me days - in my dreams lol.

I bought some low fat Rich Tea biscuits and then went and spread Nutella on them....fail!
