The best sort of frugality

Remember this?  

It arrived on February 18th.  See http://frugallychallenged.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/look-what-arrived-today.html







This is what it looks like now.


And as it was for consumer testing I even got paid £10 for emptying it.  I like this frugality malarkey when it's like that!

  1. Did they taste as good as they looked? They would have never made it that long on my house and not because I'd share.

    1. They have been a feature of British life for years. They used to come in tins with Victorian ladies and gentleman on - everybody had a Quality Street tin as a cake tin. They were very popular as Christmas sweets.
