I'm not really into less than 85% chocolate BUT

I am tempted to buy a box of these for myself next time I'm at Lidl, bought for my mum's Christmas but I've given them to Bruce to take down and store at his, not because I'd eat them but because I don't have much room and the presents are being stored in a Tesco bag for life quite close to a radiator lol, now just got to get my dad a Nivea Mens gift set and start my grandads hamper shopping, anyone know of anywhere online to get nice jams and biscuits?

Lakeland do fancy jams and biscuits, @Kaylz - they can be a bit pricey though, and most definitely not diabetes friendly!

Thanks hun, I'd prefer somewhere it's possible to get to though with being able to then see dates etc, he isn't diabetic and doesn't really care, he eats a 100g bar of chocolate every night that has over 50g carbs yet will leave proper food as he's gutsed on biscuits and other c**p through the day xx

I don't know what shops you have near you, other than Tesco and Lidl, but have you considered Amazon for the Jam? There are many options there, some very expensive and if you e mail the seller, they will tell you you the sell buy/use by dates. Such as: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiptree-Jams-Marmalade-Tasting-Selection/dp/B0182IYOJ4?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

Just enter jam gift sets in the search box. 🙂

Thanks @Greymouser but a lot seems to be well out of my price range, I usually just get Mackay's at Tesco, he likes the Bramble one, the company are only about 14 miles from us, I've had a look at B&M and theirs some nice sets there but I wont be there until the end of November so might be pushing it a bit xx

 

[Greymouser]

Yes, B&M have some good sets of little packs, ( or did anyway, ) much cheaper than Amazon, but I didn't know you had a B&M nearby. A good shop for many things. 🙂 They even had packets of crispy, flavoured insects once. Crispy critters I think was the brand. 😱

It's not that "nearby" it's 15 miles away that's why I wont get until the end of November when Bruce's mum takes us to finish our Christmas shopping (hopefully) I'll see if the factory shop has anything next week when I'm in the other town signing on, 😱 not at all interested in the crispy critters though lol xx
