Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?This post made me so happy for a number of reasons. Wispa is in my top 5 FAVOURITE chocolate of all shapes, sizes, varieties of all time. I know the financial failures of buying "bites" but it allows me to have some without having to have a "whole" bar -(Original post by TotoMimo)
Rep up for making me guffaw! AND IT ACTUALLY LET ME REP YOU UP. Wow.
SPIED BUT DID NOT BUY: My local corner shop is selling these "Bitsa Wispa", and I'm sure they're out nationally now. I keep getting suckered in by these Twirl Bites-esque "pay four times as much just because they're the same thing bite-sized" Cadbury are into at the moment, but no doubt they'll eventually get me again with these.

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?
They'll get me too, Melissa, I just know it. I suppose with Wispa the exterior super-smooth chocolate portioning with the bite-sized ones will be of higher ratio, because it's a smaller chunk.
Hahaha, listen to me trying to make up reasoning/excuses to buy 'em... -

I know, Leicester, right? Same goes for the new Philadelphia just out. I saw it in Tesco too.
Just seemed a bit *too* crazy for me. Spied, did not buy indeed!
I'm totally gunna make cheesecake using this(Original post by BioSam)
Surely it's just like a tub of chocolate cheesecake filling? Sounds epic to me!

SPIED DID NOT BUY TODAY:
That Stella Artois Cidre.
Anyone tried it? Is it any good? I like my cider like... REAL cider. Not like Bulmers-easy-going-Smirnoff-Ice-Generation cider.
It's not like real cider.. More like the magnersy strongbowy crap... Drinkable when already drunk, so I actually have no idea what it tastes like sober

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?I tried some when it was on special in Tesco; I still FAR prefer my "Specifically for kids" Paw Ridge!!(Original post by MelissaJayne)
Haha, no excuse needed my good man.
I spied Alpen Porridge a while back, I bought a box today.
Couldn't help myself! -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Yeah didn't like the one I had this morning much. Raisin, raspberry and something. A massive let down, was too bitty and the fruit bits didn't really taste of much. And I'm sure it was just raspberry SEEDS (the worst bit of raspberrys everywhere!)(Original post by TotoMimo)

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Their venison must've went up! I got mine for about six quid odds! SO WORTH IT THOUGH. I've had those scallops, and they are of a quality the human race has yet to make a word for.(Original post by MelissaJayne)
Yesterday I spied and purchased a pack of Wild Atlantic Scallops from M&S (5.99 a pack!!) and some venison leg steaks for about a tenner.
I couldn't help it. I hope they're worth it..
I was in Tesco... SPIED, DID BUY:

Because even though the "Orange for Easter" thing is tenuous, they sounded ace. The orange bubbles reminded me of orange Aero, which I believe is one of the best mergings of chocolate and orange. -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?I can't believe I haven't done this - BUT FINALLY, I see the elusive Peanut butter Kit Kat Chunky.They also had orange and double choc in my local store.(Original post by TotoMimo)

Only 50p as well - bargain, well under the RRP.
I know you didn't like them as you said it lost the wafer integrity, and the peanut butter was a bit salty, but would you recommend leaving it at room temp, or in the fridge? -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?You can still get these?!
I want to the salted flavour.
I have fond memories of them.
An innovation for the lazy student.(Original post by TotoMimo)
Saw these in Sainsbury's earlier today alongside some weird "rounds" things, new to the 50/50 range. Didn't buy, as they're clearly just 4 regular pitta breads cut in half. HOW PRECISELY, ARE THESE AN INNOVATION?!
-
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Twas a double pack I think, but yeah..I'm sure it'll be worth it.(Original post by TotoMimo)

Orange aero > Terrys chocolate orange. -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?My treat to myself in prep. for the stressful weekend I have ahead is a pot of M+S Smoked Salmon Pate... 25% off(Original post by MelissaJayne)
Yesterday I spied and purchased a pack of Wild Atlantic Scallops from M&S (5.99 a pack!!) and some venison leg steaks for about a tenner.
I couldn't help it. I hope they're worth it..
I also nabbed myself some 'Extremely Chocolatey Millionaires Crispies' (which boast at being '150 CALORIES OR LESS', which I don't quite get as on the back is says each individual one is 120 calories, so why not just put that?!) to snack on
I love M+S, especially when the reductions roll around!

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Yep, I'd never seen before I got to uni though - And I can only find them in the train station shop, the 24 hour Spar and sometimes in the petrol station across the road from my house! So if I spy them, I have to buy them(Original post by tehforum)

Know you were asking Toto, but id probably go for the fridge option, might help combat the sickly sweet taste

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?I ate it - it was too hard to resist.(Original post by dani_1991)

It went in the fridge.
