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.
