Tesco do their own 85% bars at £1 a bar I think, Lidl do an 81% bar that's rather nice too, Lindt bars are currently on offer at £1.60 a bar at Tesco, sorry that's all I know at the moment xx
 
No treats for me, but I am making an Easter cake, cupcakes, Cadburys mini creme egg rocky road for the family that will be visiting for the annual Easter egg hunt. Hubby did say he will go without an Easter egg this year, but I have asked my daughter to get him one from the grand-kids. He can eat it while I am not around. Part of me wants to have a hot cross bun on Easter, but part of me thinks is it worth the bg rise I will see later. Luckily daughter sorts our and hides all the eggs and treats for the kids.
 
I never know any sweet stuff's price or if it's on offer since I never look. Supermarket shopping is no joy and whilst I may browse the deli sections or the fruit and veg and meat (noticed awful beef joints on display in Tesco today - not a millimetre of 'marbling' to be seen - be as tough as old Nick) cos I like them - why go down the aisle if you don't wish to buy stuff from it?

I am very easily persuaded to buy a pack of eg Tunnocks wafers or dark chocolate wafer biscuits etc - so that is exactly why I behave as I do in such establishments!

I only ever buy meat from the Great British Meat company when I am at home. Delivered fresh not frozen also and is first class.
I have also bought in the past from Donald Russel but it is shipped frozen.

I only buy my meat from Waitrose. Not expensive as they do 3 for £10. Wouldn’t trust most of supermarkets.
 
I ate a full 100gr bar of Carrefour Special 90% Choc yesterday afternoon 😱 My levels actually dropped lol :D 16 gr/carbs per 100gr/wt.
That is very dangerous knowledge to possess.
