    Was due to be in Edinburgh this weekend and was looking forward to the Christmas shop but Covid (not me) torpedoed the plans. Kinda relieved not to be flying through the storm tomorrow though

    10 pts. Yeah I wouldn’t fancy flying in that storm either. The ferry video from earlier today is terrifying enough.

    The one where the front glass smashes? If that one, then yea seemed pretty scary, apart from the person recording it who seemed very calm!!

    Not sure if this will count, Christmas flavour Digestives (mince pie, gingerbread and seasonal edition)on special offer in Supervalu. Don't ask me what the special offer is, there was no price on them 😆

    30 points scored. Big jump you’re in 3rd place now.

    Also I’ll pay good money for that box of puds.

    The image on that candle in the last photo is one I've used in the weekly countdown previously. Have seen it around a few times.

    OMG they have a box of Cadbury's Puds on the checkout counter at the local SuperValu and I never thought of snapping a pic. Will have to try and do a stealthy one next time I am in the queue 😁 or else buy a couple of them, haha

    Same. Missing them badly, stupid Dunnes clearing their stock away so early.

    I'd say about 70%+ of the posts are food related. Be interesting to see if that continues as the year goes on. I think it will drop off as stock is finally bought or taken off the shelves.

    That's the nature of the game, the longer it goes the harder it will be to find a pic.

    I actually was going to stop the game on the first of August as I reckon by mid/end August you'd start seeing Christmas stock arrive in most places.

    I really do like the idea of increasing the points, might go 5 points extra each month, 15 for March, 20 for April, etc.

    Can we just finish now 😂 I'm just lucky the people of Castleknock don't like Lidl's festive fare, wasn't expecting anything at all so I went into child at Christmas mode. Glad we still have to wear masks so nobody heard my mini cheers every time 😉
