grammaticality - "Said objects" or "The said objects"

I've always said things like "If you ate the said candy." and "If you count the said rocks."



I've also heard many people say "If you ate said candy." and "If you count said rocks."



This always sounds to me similar to "If you grab chair." It makes sense sometimes, like in instruction manuals, but you don't hear people say that in real life.




Which one is correct?
