From Tesco. My daughter and I wanted a tasty dinner, so we decided to check out the festive wrap selection at the local Tesco. I’m not entirely sure, but I think there were more as well, but we went for these. Prices are £3 for the Veggie option and just 25p more for the ‘meaties’.

By ALDI. My Thanks goes to Josh who took me to see what ALDI had to offer this year. There was a lot! And I took a few photos of some products I might come back and get at a later date. Everytime I think Lidl has a great offering, I head to ALDI and

Tesco finest As of 22 November these are half price when you use your club card. From £3.50 down to £1.75. Hi, Mrs Phil here again. The box is nicely presented. There’s a mince pie which has been bitten into, a piece of lemon peel and either the top of a glass of something or

Iceland’s flagship pies. Hi, this is Mrs Phil Reviews Mince Pies having an attempt. I don’t have the same way with words as my husband, but I will give it my best shot. The box is nicely presented albeit quite simplistic. The mince pies are displayed on some slate. The mince pies look quite nice

Classic. This is the classic festive sandwich in my opinion. Yeah, it’s quite bold but you’ve got the main ingredients of a Christmas dinner here.

Okay, can you tell I’ve been to CO-OP recently? These were £1.50. There are few more items to come, but i’m all for it. They usually have decent food, so who am I to ignore that? My phone camera is pretty good, but even it couldn’t make these look any less like they’d been dropped.

Every Year I look for mince pies, and every year Mr Kipling has their Deep Filled pies out. They’re a reliable staple, like the fact you’ll receive socks on the special day or your mum always has ham in the fridge to snack on when you go and visit (okay, that might just be me).

What a lovely neat package of pies these are. The pastry is a beautiful golden colour, which is ‘all butter’, and each pie wishes me a Merry Christmas. Or at least that was the intention. The lid of the pies is more bumpy than i’d expect for a pastry surface you were going to write

“Crumbly, All butter Shortcrust pastry cases, generously deep filled with lightly spiced mincemeat laced with brandy and finished with a sweet dusting.“ Who could say no to that? And for £2.29 I was pleased with this particular pastry purchase. This is the first box thus far with a picture of the pies’ insides and a

What a mouthful. You can decide for yourselves how I meant that, later. I wandered down the local village for lunch, after the thought of a baked potato didn’t fill me with enough joy. I persuaded my colleague to come along for good company. There’s only one local shop, a Co Op. This one had
