[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1680811, member: 459333"] I'm afraid I am someone who is incapable of such things, especially with one of my weaknesses: big bags of Revels. They can cost £3 very often in local shops, and I never bought them at that price. But they often go on offer for £1 in supermarkets, and I often bought (several of) them. I was actually quite good at making a bag last - I could normally make a bag last for the duration of a cup of tea. Sometimes I'd be especially good, and only have half a bag with a cup of tea. I'd then immediately make another cup of tea to have the rest with. I think we have more of a nanny state than we realise - we are blind to the things we grow up with. Motorway speed limits are there to help us all behave and not hurt each other and ourselves, but we don't often see that as an example of a nanny state. I wish I knew what the solution to things like big bags of chocolate was. I've never spent £3 on one, but if they were never available for less, maybe I would? I'm all for any sensible government measures that save me from my own inability to look after myself :) Haven't had a bag for months now anyway, so hopefully that's under control for the time being.
