How much, is too much...

Clues in the name - Toffolossus. The biscuit choice of tax avoiding, foie gras chomping Tories.

People who buy them are the sort who make sure to place the tin prominently in view when they put the recycling out so the neighbours see.
 
Those Snowy-enrobed Oreo biscuits they had out at christmas. I'd pay over the odds for them but I've not seen them on the shelves since.
Apparently, "enrobing" is the official term in the baking industry for covering stuff in chocolate etc. So says my son who knows (after considerable research).

People sell the empty tins on eBay ?

 


Life's too short. Buy the biscuits. *Why I will never have any money*
Compare the loveliness of the biscuits and your happiness to how much you pay to watch Everton and the amount of happiness that gives you. On that level - buy two lots of biscuits.?
 
... 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.

How much, is too much for 600g of biscuits?
@Kurt. wins the words (nice btw) so here's the music...



Try a bit of legendary Luther....
 
Nope.



Trayana are ok, as are that other brand in the red box but are basically the same thing, even then you are paying how much for an extremely basic biccy? If you want anything akin to a custard cream, or a bourbon, or a ginger snap, you aren't paying £0.45 for it! It's a good 3-5 times that price! As for anything of the standard of a foxes cream...pfft.


UK biscuits are better, tastier, and cheaper, by a long way.

Where can I get biscuits as good as a pack of the cheapest gingernuts in BG for a Lev?

This is a hill I will die on.

Also, those spiced biscuits in Lidl at Christmas. They are genuinely magnificent.
