How much, is too much...

[GrandOldTeam]

... for 600g of biscuits?

What is the maximum you'd pay?

Now, I'm someone who buys the home brand stuff of chocolate digestives over McVities.

Bourbons, Custard Cremes... Penguins. Anything over £1 for biscuits and I'm raising an eyebrow Carlo Ancelotti would struggle to replicate.

But at Christmas, I was gifted a tin.

"Toffolossus Biscuits"

They looked a bit exotic, I figured they'd be fragrant, not for me and never bothered with them.

Eventually, I tried one.

Sweet lord.

They're the last biscuit on death row style biscuit.

I went to bulk buy them, then I twigged the cost.

£19.95;

Toffolossus Biscuits, 600g

Try our Fortnum's Toffolossus Biscuits; sweet, salty, chocked full of chewy toffee and covered in layer of chocolate. They're hard to refuse

For 600g of biscuits.

That's a hell of a lot isn't it?

For 2 weeks I've gone through 7 stages of grief in agonizing whether to buy them.

You can get a top up 600g for £15.95, but that's still staggering.

For biscuits.

I have a mortgage ffs, I can't go paying £15.95+ delivery for 600g of biscuit.

Can I?

So thoughts, dear readers.

How much, is too much for 600g of biscuits?

I’ve just made a new thread thinking “this has to be the worst thread of the week on here” and turns out it’s not even the worst thread of the day or indeed hour.

Seriously man what’s going on?

Excuse me sir, please #RTM

On topic: if you love the biscuits you'll pay the price

The answer is £9.99 anyway Dan. You can pretend it's a special tin or something for that much. Once you go over a tenner you're in trouble and likely to face sanctions. In fact, if you PAY 19.95 FOR SIX HUNDRED GRAMS OF BISCUITS, MY WORD I will report you to the Premier League so hard you won't want to eat another biscuit in your life.

You can’t beat a good choccy digestive. At £1.35 a pack.

None of this tory tofflicious £20 a pack nonsense.

 

[Pootsy]

As a man with mostly all of my own teeth in good to very good condition, I have to say I prefer to buy the home brand biscuits because they allow me to chow down without guilt on an entire packet after a good tough run/workout.

£20 for 600g of biscuits? I think the peeps in WEF would blush at that price.

Why deny yourself?

You don't need to justify the cost to yourself or anyone else. Go for it, repent at leisure.
