I’m usually a bit stingy with shop-bought treats, but today in M&S I picked up a big pack of mango chunks. We’ll have them for ‘pudding’ 😋

Not today, but now that you mention it, I’m thinking of grabbing something later. I’ve been eyeing a few items from KFC lately—been checking out the kentucky menu South Africa to see what’s new. Sometimes a little treat like that hits the spot after a long day!

Didn't buy them today, but put some hot cross buns in the freezer when they were in the shops. Had one today toasted and slathered in butter. Delish.

A cheese and Marmite loaf from my village bakery. It is delicious toasted and topped with real butter. I ate 2 doorsteps for breakfast.

Oh my goodness…. I wish I hadn’t seen this. Sounds divine. I am positively salivating.

I have had a lovely treat today, but I didn't buy it for myself. My friend was given a gift voucher for a restaurant meal for two. She chose to invite me to share the meal. smile

A bottle of gin!

I’ve earned it! 😂

I have today, I treated myself to a new patio rose - I’m a sucker for roses, and I really, really didn’t need another one. I’m very pleased with my purchase though, it’s made me happy. 🌹

Not today, I haven’t been out. But yesterday in Marks, a bag of giant chocolate buttons. One a night

You must have a will of iron!

No, but MrB bought me a packet of triple choc biscuits - probably to assuage his guilt at buying treats for himself 🤣

I shall stash them in my emergency supply.

In the freezer section you can buy boxes of 6 cheesecake bites. My favourite are the lemon and mascarpone. Delicious for £3 and always there when you want a treat.

Shinamae Fri 16-May-25 20:01:14

St Agur cheese…

JaneJudge Fri 16-May-25 19:59:34

Thank god for Tesco

4 Cadbury’s Creme Eggs for £1 from our bargain store. And I’ve been so very good lately. Two seem to have mysteriously disappeared since I got home…

Not today but Monday just past, visited extended family member for pre-birthday celebration. Amongst other goodies, we took a Tesco Finest Limoncello Tiramisu. Was very disappointed, over-sweet and not very lemony, tasted artificial tbh. Won’t buy it again.
The Tesco Finest Blueberries were very nice however, two boxes and not a bad one in either.
And what I will definitely buy again is The Delicious Dessert Company Lemon Drizzle Eclairs 2 Pack, from Tesco again. Lovely, lemony, creamy. Just yummy 😋

A classic style linen dress for travelling. Got staff discount so not outrageously expensive.
