I LOVE to get into the Christmas spirit with some seriously seasonal snacks to nibble.
Thankfully, the supermarkets have created some fantastically festive flavours — and here are some of my favourites.
MERRY CRISP-MAS: I love the seasonal crisps available at the moment and they make a perfect, cheap snack while we’re stuck indoors more.
M&S has a great selection and my two favourites have to be the Pigs In Blankets Hand Cooked Crisps and the Beef Wellington Crisps, both £1.75 per bag. But if you want to save a few pennies, Tesco has a great swap with its Finest Limited Edition Pigs In Blankets Crisps for £1.
SAVING: 75p
NOT HALF-BAKED: Greggs fans can get a festive hit on the cheap at home — after first heading to Iceland. The supermarket is now selling two-packs of the popular Greggs Festive Bakes for £2, or just £1 per bake. In comparison, Greggs is typically selling them for £1.60 each. What’s not to like?
SAVING: 60p
PIE CRIKEY: Marks and Spencer has amazing all-butter spiced Mince Pie cookies for £1. They are topped with a dollop of mincemeat and taste amazing.
They make a great treat on the cheap, but if you want something smaller and similar (and save dosh) check out Asda’s Extra Special 8 Mince Pie Cookies, £1.50.
CHOC STOCK: My advent calendar puts me in the mood for more chocolate. If, like me, you’re a sucker for Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, make sure you check out the limited-edition Winter Gingerbread flavour. It tastes seriously festive and goes perfectly with a cuppa.
A bar usually costs £1.49, but you can nab it now for just £1 at Asda.
SAVING: 49p
Deal of the day
GET two for £14 on selected entertainment products at Asda. Why not go for the Mulan DVD, usually £10 and the 2021 Ministry Of Sound CD, also £10?
SAVE: £6
Cheap treat
A BOX of two melting cheese nut roasts at Sainsbury’s is just £2, down from £3.75.
SAVE: £1.75
Top swap
DON’T pay £15 for Tesco’s Finest croquembouche. Instead, go to Iceland and pick one up for just £5.
SAVE: £10
Giselle’s little helper
DON’T miss out on Lidl vouchers for £10 off a £40 spend. You can find today’s final one on Page 28.
