Jaffa cakes are my favourite biscuit/cake (not getting into that debate!) but I tend to go through the whole box in one or two sittings which makes funding my jaffa cake habit costly! I'd always bought the branded jaffa cakes before retailing at anything from £1-3 depending on where I shopped and if there were any offers. So when I spotted these Sainsbury's basics jaffa cakes for 72p I decided to give them a try. The box contains 24 jaffa cakes and to look at the box is like any other basics product - white with orange writing nothing special or fancy about the packaging. Inside is a cellophane bag containing the jaffa cakes. The cellophane bag means that the ...  Read the complete review

When I was on a recent visit to Sainsbury's I saw these Jaffa Cakes for only 72p for a pack of 24 and thought they appeared a very good price for the amount in the pack, and so I thought I would give them a go and see if I liked them, since I am constantly eating sweet foods and have a very sweet tooth. They come in a box, the packaging is very basic and in the usual colours of orange and white of the cheaper range from the store, inside the cakes are wrapped in a plastic bag to keep them nice and fresh. Each biscuit is a nice round size and the same size as the branded ones, they look almost the same to me, and they are nice tasting too, they have ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Jaffa cakes are so close to Mc Vities it is unbelievable, when I first purchased these from Sainsbury's i had my doubts but I picked this up purely because I was a bit strapped for cash and I really fancied myself some Jaffa cakes. Usually when I go shop at Sainsbury's I do try to see all offers but its only recently I have started to move my eyes lower and see the bottom shelf with the basic products, I am now starting to see that there are Sainsbury's basic products for almost everything in the store (food wise). I don't know when it started or what age I was but at some point when you buy anything if the packaging looks good then the product is ...  Read the complete review

Sainsburys Basics Jaffa Cakes Description: Manufacturer: Sainsbury's / Type: Biscuits Anyone who has read some of my earlier reviews (thanks so much, I really appreciate all the reads, rates and comments!) will know by now that I am a big fan of the supermarket ranges which save me money by spending less on posh packaging and wrappings. There was a time when I would walk past the "cheap looking" brands, assuming that the ones with fancy packaging would be better. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised by how good some of the items in these ranges actually are. The packaging only gets thrown in the bin, so does ...  Read the complete review

So I have been buying these Jaffa cakes for quite a few months now and I am slightly annoyed that the price has gone from 34p to 49p this week but I must admit that I will still be buying these because they are cheaper than the branded Jaffa cakes from mcvities and I can't really notice any difference in the product and I'm sure my children can't either! These Jaffa cakes are provided in a cardboard box which is very budget indeed and there is a pull off tab to get in to the box easily. Within the box there are 2 x 12 packets of Jaffa cakes which are wrapped in a clear plastic which makes it nice and easy to just rip open and get to the Jaffa cakes without ...  Read the complete review
