Enjoy the things you can afford
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: 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: 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: Metcalf’s Found at: Tesco Cost: : £1 Rice cakes can do many things very well, but desert, it seems, is not one of them. I enjoyed the chocolate coating on these cakes, and the flavor of the rice was pretty good, but somewhere in the combination process, the dark chocolate leeched into the... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nestle Found at: Tesco Cost: £1 There is no betrayal like the betrayal of a bad chocolate. When you are at your most vulnerable, when you need the most comfort in life, you turn to a chocolate bar for some little bit of solace. When that chocolate then turns out to be disgusting,...

Brand: Cobbs Found at: University of Glasgow Library Cost: £1 I’m a girl who can appreciate me a good library. Let me loose in a big building full of books, and I will happily wander around for hours until I find myself a quiet sconce to happily ensconce myself. I like to touch the... Continue Reading →
Brand: Tunnock’s Cost: £1 for 4 Found at: Sainsbury’s I don’t often buy candy in a brick, but when it comes to these biscuits, brick seems to be the best unit of measurement. There is a heft to this package of four cookies it that I do not usually associate with sweets, but there... Continue Reading →
Brand: McVitie’s Cost: £1.50 Found at: Morrisons We live in a time where I can access the combined knowledge of humanity from my cozy bedroom; a time of facial recognition, virtual reality, 3D printing, robotic surgery, privatized space travel, cryptocurrency, drones, and a thousand podcasts about serial killers. And yet somehow, in this amazing,... Continue Reading →
Brand: Tunnock’s Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s I arrived in Scotland as I arrive in every new country: jetlagged, bewildered and smelling of sweat and sleeplessness. Just because I travel a lot does not mean that I travel well. And the last thing I wanted upon my arrival was a new experience: I wanted a... Continue Reading →
Brand: Marabou Cost: 10.95KR Found at: Coop This chocolate bar has tiny little Tuc crackers in it. Not cracker crumbs or crunchy cracker fragments, but whole, miniature Tuc crackers. It is possibly the most adorable chocolate I have ever seen. Now, I love Tuc crackers on their own – they are crunchy and salty... Continue Reading →
