Advantages: Very cheap to buy

Disadvantages: Don't taste as good as the branded versions

***** Introduction *****

After finishing work last on Friday night my other half had to drag me around Tesco as we had nothing in for tea, after a twelve hour shift and my stomach rumbling to high heaven this was a massive mistake.

I found myself wondering down the biscuit and cake alleys, this is something I steer well clear of usually but on this occasion I could not resist as it was something easy to open and eat the second I left the shop.

Looking at the much improved biscuit shelve I settled for these Tesco value rich tea biscuits, I went for the value biscuits as we have had some great experiences with other products in this value range.

***** Tesco Value Rich Tea Biscuits *****

I have to be perfectly honest and say the packaging does not look to appealing as it is very basic and plain, with a white majority and a navy blue and red tesco value logo, but as we all say it's what's inside that counts.

These sell for 24p a packet and you get roughly 24 biscuits in them, which is very good value at a penny a biscuit, I picked these as they were over 40p cheaper than the branding biscuits.

On opening the biscuits the second I left the shop, I found that they looked exactly like the branded versions but I have to say they did not taste the same. Not that biscuits were bad or anything like that but for me they did not seem as sweet as a branded rich tea, which some could say is a bonus but I found them a bit bland compared to the genuine article.

Each biscuit is roughly 2.5 inches in width and only a few mm thick, but I do admit the size of the biscuit is adequate as the width more than makes up for its thinness.

****** My Views *****

Foe the price of these biscuits I can't complain as they are very good value, but they don't taste too good but they did satisfy my grumbling stomach until I got home.

One think I will say is that I don't think these can qualify for a dunking session as they are so thin, they will end up laying on the bottom of your cup, but if you are brave enough I dare you to try it.

I would recommend these for a quick fix but they are not exactly luxurious so I will serve them up to the kids as they won't even notice.

Summary: Recommended for a quick bite of for kids
