How much, is too much...

Economy of scale. See if you can purchase them wholesale, in bulk. That will massively lower the unit cost per biscuit... Although having a massive quantity of delicious premium biscuits within easy access presents problems of its own that would be way beyond my own self discipline.

Failing that, see if you can reverse engineer them. Read the ingredients, have a search online for a similar recipe, get your Mrs Miggins apron on and start baking.
 
... 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;


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.

You only live once.

I like to try to justify prices by comparing them to what it costs to fill up the car. I spend more filling up its belly not mine and I'm the one that's worked for the cash, not the car.

I bought a tin of those a few years ago reduced in Fortnum and Mason. They are delicious.

Treat yourself*

*Not sure I'd buy them at full price but I'm a stingy get.
