My Mum and husband have been on a mega mince pie kick this year. They've tried them from everywhere and then read a article that said that the tesco value mince pies were the best. They got some and actually agreed and said they were even nicer than the m&s ones. Who'd have thought it. Has anyone else tried them?

(Obviously making your own would be better, but none of us are good at baking - they have tried bakery ones too though)

Haven't tried, but i'm sticking with Greggs for the best mince pies.

I've heard that Sainsbury's value xmas pud is really nice and great value at 98p.

Greggs? I bought a pack of four iced mince pies from there the other day, ate a quarter of one and chucked the rest. Not good.

While I haven't bought any this year, I got some last year after christmas when they were all super reduced. Reduced value pies, so it was something like 4p for a pack of six.

While they don't have as much filling in them as I'd like, they are value after all, they're still pretty good and well worth a punt!

Haven't seen the iced ones, maybe they were trying them out as a special. I get a regular pack of 6, never had a bad one yet.

I thought about trying the value ones but opted for the rank above, then I saw Mr Kipling on a BOGOF so went for those. They aren't bad, especially for the offer,

Best ones are Bells, in the North you can get them in Booths supermarkets but not sure where else.

Supermarket wise, the best are the Sainsburys baked in store ones.

Can't beat homemade or local bakery though,..
