Bargain Mince Pies!!!
 
Today in Carrefour in La Linea we saw a pack of 6 Walkers mince pies for 9.50 Euros

Don't all rush at once.

I would never pay that much for mince pies, it is daylight robbery. Will make my own using the mincemeat that my OH made for me.

Well I like to think (though I'm out of touch) that for six mince pies that could be as low as 95c in the right supermarket-war economic climate.

In the UK!!!!

You would only have to walk over the border to Morrisons and get them for £1:D

It is strange how when living in Spain you really enjoy stuff and then when in the UK never eat them. We used to eat a pork pie coming back from Gibraltar, look forward to British sausages, pork with herbs/apple etc. Steak n' ale pies. Never bother now I am back in the UK:rofl:

You are right! In our case it is a still-warm sausage roll or maybe a scotch egg scoffed while negotiating the La Linea roundabouts with one hand on the wheel. Hardly ever eat either in the UK.
