Advantages: Tasty and cheap

Disadvantages: Nothing

Finally I have found a packet of cheap biscuits (30p) that I can buy regularly. The kids love them and so do I!

The shortbread fingers are really good value. Each finger is about the same size, maybe not as thick, as the more expensive brands and taste delicous. They are crumbly enough to make you think of real homemade shortbread but not too loose to drop off in your cup of tea.

Although they are not really buttery in taste I actually prefer these to some of the others and they are not too sweet either. When we are running low on sweet treats for lunch boxes I pop a couple of these fingers into the kids lunch and they are perfect. At 30p a packet I don't mind buying 2 or 3 packs a week (4 kids!) as they are very good value.

They are biscuits so the fat content and sugars are not for you if you're on a diet but hey, live life on the wild side and I can reccommend you won't be disappointed.

My hubby likes these and eats far too many because they are so cheap, where as the more expensive ones would last him a week :-)

good idea about putting them in lunch boxes, it can get expensive when you have a few kids.
