Got mine from Aldi's this year as they did well in the pudding tests.
I know! Do they think we button up the back or something?! I got a 454gm one (the medium sized one) from Waitrose for half price last week, which meant that instead of £4.99, I paid £2.49 for it!!! Richly fruited with brandy and sherry in it - quality! That it was half price made me buy it now instead of waiting 'til closer to Christmas, but in the past I've always paid around the fiver mark for my Christmas pud, and I'm happy enough to do that. But 23 quid?!! Was it huge or something, with a silver coin hidden inside it?

Yes get thee to Aldi or Lidl- gorgeous rich, fruity, boozy puds for under £3 and they feed about 8 at least. Got mine!

I suppose if someones loaded with money and doesnt have to compare prices and stick to an overall budget, then why wouldnt they pay these prices but thank heavens there are perfectly good, cheaper alternatives out there. Bon appetit everyone :tongue:

bonkers price. We don't like Christmas pud in our house so I always make a very gooey very lovely chocolate cake filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit then top it with indoor sparklers for the "flame" effect.

I've bought a Sainsburys Taste the Difference for £6, which was half price.
I'm one of the few people who doesn't/don't like pudding and mincemeat. :boo, hiss: Mincemeat to me, is MincedBeef. lol Mother made 7layer tortes and I love anything with hazelnuts. Put a jar of Nutella near me and my lip curls, I bare my teeth, my hackles rise and my claws extend. x Snarly'sDenFreeFromDaPuddin'

Does it come with the 30 day MBG? If so, I might just order one, eat 49% of it and return it. Get yourselves on waitlist for the remaining 51%. I'll even stick a teabag in it for you. :devil:

another Aldi vote!
Oops Karen..Waitrose was about 2/10 and the Aldi one 8 or 9 out of 10 in our paper!
I have a problem with these food shows and that is I hate and I mean really hate the sound of people eating, it makes want to barf.
Craig earlier was talking with a gob full of pie and I could hear it through his mike. Half hartedly covering the mouth while talking doesnt help much.
I know it might be just me cos there are a lot of things I cant handle that other people find OK but I had to turn over
