I'd like to think it's to help people spread the cost of the holiday season but the cynic in me thinks it's to sell more sweets. It seems the retail sector isn't wholly on board with the childhood obesity thing. |

would be interesting to see the sellby dates on them! i am sure oneof the supermarkets were selling short date mince pies early last year meaning people were buying twice as many thinking they were being clever getting in early.
quite tip though folks.....just because there is christmas stuff in the shops.....doesnt mean you have to buy it lol |

Of course it's to sell more sweets 'cos people like me buy them now but can't resist eating them and then have to buy more before Xmas!

"Tesco have their tubs of christmas sweets on the shelves  "
I usually laugh when the mince pies appear on the shelves with sell by dates that are before Christmas!!! |

"And to think you cannot get a double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal at 10.31 am a minute to late "
Apparently the USA McDonalds do breakfast all day long now. I've not been in one to try and I detest the stuff called bacon here that's worse and fattier than streaky. |
