Selection boxes are a rip off. You can bye the sweets in them singly for less, it's just the packaging you pay for.

I was in ~Iceland yesterday, and they have deals of 2for£1.50 which you can mix, and big bags of Haribo individuals small pkts for £1.

A woman on the boards told me she worked in Wollies and they had the easter eggs on the shelves on Christmas eve.

I STILL BYE ADVENT CALENDERS

YEEEESSSS
4wks til the tress go up in my house, can't wait

I've bought a chocolate advent calendar - just for me!

Still give OH's kids Terrys Chocolate Oranges even though they're all in their 30's. My brother-in-law used to get a brown paper bagful of monkey nuts every Xmas from his Mum!

Before you know it christmas will be over and they'll have the easter eggs on the shelves. No wonder people get into debt. it's too commercialised
