I was on Sainsbury’s at the time and these were near the till. I obligingly bought them as they were a cool pound. I brought … More Sainsbury’s Bakery Puff Pastry mince pies

Hello and welcome to another year of my mince pie reviews. In 2019 I reviewed less than 10 mince pies, although the volume I consumed was much, much more.

£2.29 per pack and 38 pence per pie. There’s recently been a new LIDL planted quite close to my house and as a result, I’ve visited them more often. On a recent trip, I managed to find gingerbread mince pies. “A new flavoured pie”, I said to myself. Silently. The star-studded-gingerbread-coloured box was what caught … More 6 Deluxe Gingerbread mince pies, by LIDL
