I was in Aldi the other day and saw they had their pumpkin pasta back in stock. The packaging has changed this year. Get them while they are in stock... and half the price of something similar in Waitrose!
Wooden Toys
I had an unexpected gift arrive yesterday in the post. These delightful wooden toys were found on Etsy made by a company called Play & Pretend. The halloween sets are apparently sold out now. But they make delightful decorations too and support a small business hand crafting goods.
Sainsburys 2020
As with Asda, Saisnburys have bought into Disney this year but my local store only had a few hangable decorations. However, they did have a nicely designed trick or treat canas bag and also their witches cauldron mugs that rest on 3 legs were also a bit different from what the other shops are offering. Oh yes, and the cauldron mug changes colours with flames appearing round the bottom when a hot drink is poured into it!
Asda 2020
The last 2 of the big 4 supermarkets in the UK have got their goods out, and rather than showing a photo of the whole display of mainly sweets, childrens' costumes and cheap decorations, I thought I'd pick out a few items that are a bit different this year, from a doll that pulls its own head off to Disney villians glassware and coasters.
Tesco 2020
The local store in Cheriton has a couple of displays but again the usual fare of partyware, costumes and make up; so again reasonably priced goods for childrens' parties. Once in a blue moon they'll do something fantastic for afficienodos and collectors, but not a blue moon year this year sadly.
Morrisons 2020
Well the supermarkets are starting to get in a somewhat limited range for Halloween, which may or may not be such a big event this year due to COVID. The local Morrisons in Folkestone has made a bit more of an effort than other shops, but it is basically the usual fare. They do have the games like thay had last year, e.g. skeleton bone 'Jenga' and a skittles game. And the bird mask was probably the best mask on offer.
