Advantages: Cheap as Chips and Not as Bad for You as Others

Disadvantages: Not as Sweet or Buttery as some other shortbreads

The Product
I picked these up at a recent visit to Tescos as I have been trying to save money - I have become a little obsessed with trying out products from the supermarket 'value' ranges. Like many other shortbread fingers, they come in a pack of ten fingers, neatly packaged in the familiar tesco value wrapper. They are just the right size for enjoying with a cup of tea, or as a cheeky snack when you think no one is looking.

The Price:

At 13p for a packet that contains ten individual biscuits, therefore working out at just over a penny each - in my opinion this is amazing value. The pack in total weighs 125 grams.

The Taste:

These fingers don't look any different to some of the more expensive competitors. However, while I think they are great value for money at 13p, there is a much less buttery and sweet taste than you might come to expect from shortbread. While eating them, you can definitely tell that they are not the real McCoy! The taste a lot more biscuity than other shortbread and you loose that sweet sugary flavour - however, you could always use this to your advantage (as I do) by telling yourself that they are therefore better for you as they contain less of the ingredients that make shortbread such a fattening snack.

The Nutritional Information:

This product contains (per 100grams)

- 65 calories
- 2.1g of sugars
- 3.3g of fat (of which 1.9g is saturates)

Although this isn't the healthiest snack in the world, as previously mentioned, it does fare better when compared to some of the more expensive brand!

My Opinion:

As mentioned before, they are not as sweet or buttery as some of the more expensive brands, however, I think they still taste great! And for 13p per packet - I think you could do a lot worse! Give 'em a dunk!

Summary: One for the trolly!
