Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Nestle Cost: £1.50 Found at: Morrisons Once again, Nestle has me feeling deceived. Everything about these chocolates says elegance and sophistication. They come in a long, dark green box with a provocative name. Each square of chocolate is individually wrapped in its own little paper sleeve. When I reach for one, I feel... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cloetta Cost: 5.50 KR Found at: Coop It's not a Nordic Christmas without strawberry marshmallow Santas! I actually really like these – they’re cute little marshmallow Santas in little, pink marshmallow Santa suits. They are about the consistency of a circus peanut and have that wonderful artificial strawberry flavor that instantly transports you... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £1.15 Found at: Morrisons In my head, this chocolate bar was supposed to taste like munching on a box of chocolates while sipping on a Gin and Tonic. In the cold, damp Scottish winter, this chocolate bar promised to transport me to the Cairo of Death on The Nile – all... Continue Reading →
Brand: Apotekarnes Cost: 14 KR Found at: Coop It's a long time coming, but I’ve finally gotten what’s coming to me. For years, I have delighted in watching non-Americans try root beer: gleeful in their reactions of disgust and horror. I was raised on the stuff, so I can drink it like water,... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: £0.40 Found at: Tesco I did not know what Turkish delight was until just now, so for all those out there who (like me) only know it as a Narnia reference, Turkish delight is basically rose-flavored gelatine (about the consistency of a gummy bear on a hot day). This Cadbury Turkish... Continue Reading →
Brand: Lyx Cost: 39 KR Found at: Coop In the spirit of Christmas, today’s post will be set to the tune of “Away in a Manger.” ~*~ I found them while shopping Couldn’t understand why - Five marzipan piglets All lined up to buy. I asked my Swede boyfriend The reason and rhyme.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Deliciously Ella Cost: £1.80 Found at: Morrisons This snack is offensive. I am offended by this snack. It is such a flagrant waste of money. Worse still, it’s genuinely unappetizing. It’s a luxury tax on health nuts, and while I love me a tax on the wealthy, this blatant highway robbery makes... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £2 Found at: Morrison's In the flurry of holiday fervor and election drama, I decided to splash out on a holiday treat that simultaneously projects my liberal sensibilities. And what better option than a Florentine? This collection of nuts held together by caramel, and dipped in chocolate is truly a Brexiter’s... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: 70p Found at: Tesco There is not enough yes in the world to describe how I feel about this candy bar. I’ve been playing candy bar junior varsity my whole life, and I’ve just been brought up to the big leagues. This candy bar is positively phe-no-me-nal. There are some... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £3 Found at: Morrisons I have always insisted (and quite loudly, too) that to truly enjoy vegan food, you need to stop trying to re-create non-vegan dishes. Stop trying to make meat happen, Gretchen. It’s not going to happen. After all, there are SO many incredible dishes out there that... Continue Reading →
