incidentally before you go rushing out to stock up on Christmas food, check the sell by date, supermarkets’ eagerness to bring out Christmas food earlier than ever means many festive treats bought this month are already past their sell-by date, and must be eaten before they go off, a survey this week found a Sainsbury’s chocolate yule log that must be eaten by November 1 to ensure it doesn’t go stale, a pack of Marks & Spencer Classic Butter Rich Mince Pies with a best before date of October 27 and M&S Iced Rich Fruit Slices with a date of October 21, are just some yule time treats that will spoil before Christmas day, similarly, a Cadbury chocolate yule log at Tesco had a best before date of Bonfire Night, while in Waitrose a pack of mini mince pies had a date limit of December 15, Tesco's 'Christmas 6 Iced Top Mince Pies' had a best before date of November 5, while its pack of Finest 12 Mince Pies with Courvoisier, should be eaten before November 13th,
the store's Christmas Syrup Sponge pudding should be eaten by December 14, which is rather stretching the time limit for eating a Christmas dinner, Waitrose is also using the ploy, offering 12 Shortcrust Mince Pies by November 24 and 12 Mini Star Mince Pies to be eaten by December 12, the best before date for Sainsbury's Deep Mince Pies was November 29, so buy early and Christmas treats could come twice a year! did I mention not including today there are only 8 Saturdays to go?
