Plenty of Twin Peaks in my local store, picked a few up as not tried them before, will do for Christmas

I picked one up today and have tried a bit with my afternoon coffee. It's quite big, so it gave the illusion of value for money at the point of sale.

Plus points: it's sweet, crunchy and tastes vaguely of honey.
Minus points: the chocolate itself is not v nice.
Conclusion: I can live without it.

From Union Street, Glasgow: Infinity Selected Arabica Whole Bean Instant Coffee 60g*, £1

Minecraft Tips And Cheats Annual 2019, £1

And yesterday, in Trongate, Glasgow store, Baptiste Batiste Hide Me Root Concealer For Light Blonde Hair, kits - £1

Trongate also has a pair of Soft Silicone Earplugs £1 (not sure if any good, but boyf usually buys the pink/yellow Howard Leight earplugs).

*Though someone on HUKD says you can get the Infinity Coffee 100g for £1.39 at Poundstretcher - £1.50/100g at Iceland, according to My Supermarket.

Edit: Forgot to add, also from Union Street, Bourjois Brow Design Brow Mascara, 6ml, shade 03 Chatain.​ Currently £7.99 on Superdrug!

Edit: The Infinity Whole Bean Instant is HORRIBLE (in my opinion, may not be yours) - at least I only bought a small tub!

Are they worth investing a pound in? (I am generally a fan of white chocolate).

I saw these near the tills and actually thought they were After Eights, but after a double take realised they weren't. I looked twice because the boxes are good sizes, they looked like 300g to me.

Any feedback on the white chocolate Twin Peaks as yet?

Just had some, tastes good to me, not sure how much it tastes like toblerone, but tastes good in it's own right.

Good enough for me, I'll pick some up at the weekend. It's a 10k round trip on foot, but worth it for a nice treat. (Trying to reduce my carbon footprint).

Now for the bargain element: there was a 50p shelf with various items including scented candles in tins

I started burning this one this evening (more to add a bit of hygge to the room than any other reason!) and am pleasantly surprised. It smells a lot stronger than I expected it to, so for 50p I'm not complaining!
