M&S Fruit Salad Pots

psyman17

I'm trying to eat healthier & decided to get a fruit salad pot each day on my way to work rather than crisps.

The only place that sells them on my journey to work is Marks & Spencers.

Unfortunately, out of the 4 or 5 different pots they sell, every one contains loads of Melon (which I hate!).

Can't M&S just do at least one pot with NO MELON in it?

Azari

How annoying!

I'm not a fan of melon. I don't particularly hate it but it's just like a piece of wet, congealed, nothing so a bit of a waste of money AFAIC.

Can't you make your own?

You can't really buy a decent fruit salad anywhere without melon

Yuck!

As this is a money saving website, I think notanewuser's suggestion is excellent - it takes minutes to put together a fruit salad that would last several days and be far cheaper than a pre packed one.

It aggrieves me hugely that shops don't sell ready to eat blancmange, as I often fancy it when out and about. They sell jelly, but I don't like jelly, I like blancmange.

However, instead of venting on here about the sheer injustice of it all, or firing off petitions to Number 10, I just make my own!!!! Job done!!!

I can recommend it.

I wouldn't pay the money that shops charge for a basic fruit salad.

Much cheaper to make it yourself and pick your own ingredients.

You don't have to avoid threads. Simply add Azari to your block list. Problem solved.
Anyhow, the OP didn't ask where they could get melonless fruit salads from, they were merely venting about M&S's insistence on using melon to pad out their fruit salads. Suggesting the OP makes their own fruit salad is a nice idea, but the OP obviously doesn't for whatever reason, so it's a bit pointless.

Itsu wanted £4 for a small cup of pineapple and mango this lunchtime.

Now if you made it yourself, you could have a weeks worth for that with change ... But apparently such a suggestion is stupid!
