Tesco Deep Filled Mince Pies

These deep filled Mince Pies are currently on offer in Tesco - 2 boxes of 6 for £1.80, which means an average of 15p per pie. Evidently great value, but does the low price represent poor quality? The fact that these mince pies are so cheap makes them great snacks with a cup of tea in the afternoon and for myself, being a student, I'm a huge fan. I opted for the Tesco brand over the others purely because of the cheaper price, although I was a little apprehensive about whether or not the taste would be compromised due to the lower price! The mince pies come in boxes of 6, and are each in a small silver casing (as with regular mince pies!) They are ...  Read the complete review

So it is getting close to that time of year again, some of us dread it, some of us love it but Christmas is soon approaching. The shops have been full of all things Christmas for a while but now the Supermarkets are full of all the tasty treats and that includes Mince Pies. At work, we have a little competition where we all rate a variety of Supermarkets and shops Mince Pies. When it came to my turn to getting the Mince pies I popped along to my local Tesco as it had been decided I would buy their brand. As I was looking at the shelves I was shocked at how many different varieties of Mice Pies that Tesco produced just under their brand names, as well as ...  Read the complete review

Tesco mince pies are scrumptious!! First of all, I brought these last Saturday and I could not wait to get home to try one! They were only around 70p and I thought this was an absolute bargain! Mice pies like these only come out at Christmas so it is quite a shame really because they are lovely! The Packaging As would be expected these mince pies come in packs of sixes and they are in a plastic tray with the foil cases which is handy as they get messy! The packet is Christmas themed and gets you really in the mood. The Product The actual mince pies are lovely. I prefer these to any other sort because, the pastry is ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION It was my birthday last week so I was wandering around Tesco's last looking for some tasty cakes for the workmates. Much to my surprise, I found a dedicated aisle to xmas biscuits, confectionary, nuts and of course... mince pies. I did a quick double take - are Tesco's really selling Xmas stuff a whole two and a half months before Jolly Old Saint Nic delivers his pressies? They sure are. In these times of economic strife, probably the last thing you want to think about is finding money for Xmas groceries. I would have thought Tesco's could at least let the clocks go back, let us fend off the trick or treaters and celebrate Guy Fawkes night before ...  Read the complete review

I love home made mince pies and have a box in the freezer but I purchased some shop made ones for church to meet the Health and hygiene requirements! Too many boxes were handed in and I found myself having to take mine home. The cardboard box was opened and revealed 6 mince pies, in foil cases, in a red plastic tray and wrapped in sealed cellophane. I know the packing keeps the mince pies from being damaged and the cellophane keeps them fresh longer but it is a lot of waste and expense. The shortcrust pastry hangs over the little foil case and makes it quite difficult to remove the pie. Sometimes I succeed and get it out whole, other times the ...  Read the complete review
