Champagne :rotfl: Preferably Pink Taittinger, but bubbles is a must-have

Was in Tesco this afternoon and thought of many more items! Its fine if I just buy them for christmas but the problem is its just so tempting to sneak things like party food & crisps/dips into the weekly shops! Not to mention the mulled wine! Im going to double my vouchers in tesco and buy some finest wine to put away. Order my turkey chippolatas & stuffing from the butchers this year as my first day off will be the weekend...don't fancy the battle to get the last turkey...or at least the last reasonably priced one!

All year I save my nector, tesco and M&S points all year and use them for xmas treats. I love a cheese selection, pate, twiglets, baileys, honey roast cashews, chippolatas, party food (mini treats), duck fat for roasts, stuffing...what food do you really like to buy at christmas time?

Have you been peeking at my shopping list? :rotfl::rotfl: I do like a nice tin of Rose or Quality street too, and a choc orange

I've got nectar points and an m&s voucher. We will get a gammon joint but other than that it's snacky treats we like. Popcorn, crisps, nuts, choccies, crackers and dips and jars of antipasti. Baileys although I had a bottle last year as a gift so we'll use that. We will get profiteroles as they were my late dh's favourite. That's Christmas pudding.

have you noticed the weight has gone down to 850gm a tin, i'm sure last year they were 900-950gm.

DH has a thing about cheese footballs. I don't get it myself but we have them in the cupboard stashed for when Christmas has arrived

I always have ham and pickles (this is the first year that I've made my own in pretty jars so looking forward to parading them out), at least 2 different types of cheese, a little port, Baileys (I only drink it at Christmas), LOTS of Christmas tree chocolates, nuts in their shells, 'chips n dips' and of course...satsumas

I'm off now to make myself some snacks

Just had to edit to include sprouts - I really do love them!

For me Christmas must haves are :

Pigs in blankets and sausagemeat stuffing
Crackers with smoked cheese and Boursin (love this but only ever seem to eat it at Christmas!!):rotfl:
My Mum always buys a nice joint of ham so I always pick at that
A bottle of asti
Pringles and big bags of crisps

And not forgetting tubs of chocolates- preferably heros and roses!!

Oh I feel very hungry now!!:D
