"If it's a triple-pack of Turkish Delight then it doesn't see the light of day but just the blackness of my stomach. 🤤" I agree, it wouldn't see the light of day because that would stay in the back of my cupboard 🤢😜 | |||

"Yes and when I usually want it,it's gone as one of my kids(usually the daughter) has had it." I hide my food in rogue bags of frozen veg or tupperwear, they don't go looking that far 😂 | |||

"When my family visit, they bring things I can't get here. I allow myself a bit of a binge then save the rest." Tim Tams are available in UK supermarkets now 😉 | |||

"No, I save food. I've got a 4 pack Star Bar in the freezer, well, I say 4, it's now 2 😋 " In the freezer?! How are you not breaking a tooth on that caramel and peanut? 😳😂 | |||

"I save special food for special occasions or a treat at the end of the week if I've been disciplined. I've done it with baklava, dark chocolate, donuts, supermalt (do drinks count?) and other desserts." I've never had a Supermalt before! But that's really good as a motivator. How well do they keep if you're saving them? | |||

"I go through phases where eating just feels like a chore I have to do, and phases where I’ll eat anything that doesn’t move. How long food stays around depends on that really. Fry’s Turkish Delight is an exception and gets promptly demolished. " I get that with chocolate. Sometimes I won't fancy it and other times I'm turning the house upside down hoping for something I may have forgotten about 🙈 | |||

How well do they keep if you're saving them?" Chocolates and drinks can usually survive weeks, maybe months. They usually survive a couple of weeks with me. | |||

"If I don't eat it the same day i buy it, i guarantee someone in this house will steal it! It would be nice not having to devour a share bag of M&M's in one sitting, but fortunately....i mean unfortunately I have to🙄" I only have a glimpse of that when my sister, niece and nephew visit. They'll look at me eating something and I'm like "Can you control your kids, please?" before giving in 😂 | |||

Seriously, is parenthood just giving everything you have to them? 🫣 | |||

"When it comes to Easter, the rising price of eggs over the last 6 years had me hedging my bets and buying two luxury eggs that year. Sticking the surplus one in a sealed freezer bag, I put it in the back of the fridge and kept it until next Easter. Sure enough, the dark chocolate Lindt egg was in perfect condition when taken out a year later - no degradation or deterioration at all! Since then, as a safeguard against rising prices, I have always been one ahead, buying a new one and sticking it in the fridge. Given the alarming reduction of range in supermarkets this year, it was a good call." I'd never considered freezing one for the next year! I usually just nab a few in the sale over the week after 😆 | |||

"I'd never considered freezing one for the next year! I usually just nab a few in the sale over the week after 😆" Get a couple cheap and stick 'em in the fridge for next year! It's not even a case of freezing them, as they just sit quietly in the back of the fridge until next year. It might be that the dark chocolate nature of my Easter eggs plays a factor in their making it through with no deterioration, as milk (let alone white!) chocolate has a higher dairy content which might cause problems. And that conclude this lecture on being a cheapskate around religious festivals. Next up: the cheapest pancakes EVER!!! | |||
