Anything chocolate based has shot up, just look at the biscuit prices with choc on as well. It does gripe me that Home Bargains and B&M can sell the 180g bars of Cadburys for £1.89 yet the bog standard Aldi chocolate is now more expensive (subjective if its better, sometimes the Dairy Milk still made in the UK can be good) and the Aldi Milk Chocolate can be more bitter.1

Has anyone else noticed that Lidl's maple syrup no longer specifies a country of origin? previously they'd proudly shown a maple leaf and said Canada Grade A or whatever. Now the back label just gives the address of the Lidl UK office. Wondering if it's an attempt to avoid tariffs if they are providing the same bottles to the US or if they don't want to admit they are selling US syrup. Or syrup from somewhere completely other.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

I remember my school cook was getting hassle from a parent who was forcing her DD to eat vegetarian. The child obviously didn't want to as she kept asking for the meat option. The parent was adamant that her child wasn't to eat 'anything with a face'.
I told the cook to be sure never to give her potato smileys! At least it cheered the cook up. 🤣4 -

@robrymond - I popped into Poundstretcher yesterday and was taken aback by a basket of McVities chocolate biscuits. The packs looked to be about 400g and cost £2.99!! Prices are just crazy.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
