Has anyone seen candy canes in the shops yet? I usually buy a couple as stocking fillers.

Still managed to leave the 5 i bought a few weeks back untouched. Truth be told had packed them away in.the attic store and forgot about them, had we left them in the kitchen cupboard like we normally would I suspect they'd require replenishing by now... now to try and forget about them again til December!

Crazy! Already been on sale for e4.00 each and will reduce again.Talk about madness of choclate fiends.

While the other supermarkets have been getting better T their festive and 'luxury' ranges id expect them to step up more this year. For the **** year it has been and will people not being able to dine out etc, peolle I think will want to splash out on fancy home catering.

Dunnes, Aldi and Lidl will all have a fancy range out...

I was very tempted to go all out and order stuff from M&S for Christmas this year but with just the two of us I can't really justify it. Everything is for 6/8 people plus the lack of delivery/having to collect it would put me off. That chocolate cake really is calling my name though!!:D

SarahLil

They didn’t have Chocolate stocking fillers in M&S today or Chocolate Santa’s

Looking forward to all the other shops upping their game at all the at home food considering the current climate

M&S seem to have a lot less Christmas food this year, if their online offering is anything to go by! Maybe supplier issues given everything that is happening atm.

There’s no supplier issues with food at all.

Clothes is an issue afaik.

I’d question would they be afraid with lots of stock if people pre ordered it and they put some strange restrictions in place which may make it awkward for people to collect it.

I looked at the M&S website there. I think the reason why there is a lot less stuff on it this year is because they've no real party food on it. I suppose in there eyes people won't be having parties this year.

I just saw this in bargain alerts

Easiest way to describe them is like in Kinder chocolate. I love very sweet and milky chocolate. They are very hard to get in general. They can be in there Advent called and I got a box of them in the new version of Heatons last year.

I love kinder chocolate I'll get my OH to keep an eye out for them when he's out and about.

Perfect timing on the lindor find, had an amazon order ready to go so just ordered 2 boxes of the extra dark & 2 of the coconut ones there (find them both hard to get and by far my two favourite flavours) herself likes the standard red ones so can pick up a large box or 2 of them in Dunnes handily enough. Are they that much cheaper here though?

I think the 200g box is usually in or around 6euro, and the bigger one is about 10euro? I'm on Tesco for my grocery shop and saw this

I found this, it's an assorted box but looks like it includes the milk and white

Ah crap. Just copped the 200g are the little ones, so ordering the cocunut ones for £5 werent really a saving at all. Still, they're hard to get so dont mind really.

They have the 200g of Lindor for €5.90 in Supervalu.

They definitely have the blue/white ones, because I seen them on the shelf and remembered FP had mentioned them here before!

The 200g smaller boxes are about a fiver in Dunnes no?..£3.50 still cheaper than that....
