View Full Version : I saw mince pies in Sainsburys on The Moor today! Zebra 05-09-2006, 22:21 Yes it already happened, I saw mince pies in Sainsburys on The Moor today! We are on the downward slope, consumerism is striking once more to make up for the shoddy sales figures during the football. Strike back, do not begin your Xmas shopping until December 1st. bigflesh 05-09-2006, 23:07 ... and only http://home.valornet.com/sabruf2/countchr.html to go! Olewicz 05-09-2006, 23:10 If I was in charge you'd be able to get mince pies 365 days a year....mmmmm medusa 05-09-2006, 23:15 I noticed all of the Christmas cakes and stuff in Tesco today- only 3 months earlier than I want to buy them! Thunzi 05-09-2006, 23:17 If I was in charge you'd be able to get mince pies 365 days a year....mmmmm I agree 100%, mince pies are the best and should be on sale all the time. peterw 06-09-2006, 00:01 Yes it already happened, I saw mince pies in Sainsburys on The Moor today!

My local Tesco doesn’t start for at least another fortnight. And Easter Eggs and Hot-Cross Buns uually appear on the shelves in February. bigbear 06-09-2006, 02:26 the UK misses out on merchandising for Thanksgiving. thankfully. so there's a hole between halloween and christmas to fill as well...

They were on an aisle opposite disposable barbecues and garden parasols!! okka north 06-09-2006, 19:11 Ooh awful things. I want to like them as they always look so lovely, but just can't do it. Where were they in Sainsburys? Actually isn't it about three weeks until the xmas decs start comming out? sjw1705 06-09-2006, 19:13 One of the card shops further down from Sainsburys had a big display of Xmas cards! I walked out in disgust! LOL Joanl 06-09-2006, 19:29 I agree 100%, mince pies are the best and should be on sale all the time. In my local Sainsbury's they are. They might promote them more nearer to Christmas but you can buy them throughout the year. Also Hot-Cross buns aren't confined to Easter.:thumbsup: peterw 06-09-2006, 20:17 In my local Sainsbury's they are.
