    This may be because they actually contain ginger, as opposed to ginger flavouring?

    I like Aldi shortbread biscuits myself but they are dearer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,238 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    Tesco doing Lemon Puffs half price atm 89c. Lovely but could never figure out why the cost nearly two quid.

    Oooh look at Mr Posh McPosh-O'Biscuit.... shortbread indeed.. :p

    Is there a cheaper (but IDENTICAL) alternative to the classic "Nice" (nice/neese who knows..) biscuit?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭corglass


    Asda do a 'nice' biscuit. 100% identical, should try them, and with ASDA it's probably less then 5c per packet!

    Has anyone found biscuits (a packet) for under 30cent? Now that really would be the bargain of the week!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 245 ✭✭gandhi123


    .. but definatley worth bargain of the week.

    :eek::eek:Get a Full* Santa suit for €3 in the X Factory Outlet in the Ilac Centre (Formally Dunnes) :eek::eek:

    *Hat, Trousers, Dodgey Belt,Jacket and Beard..

    There's also a "deluxe" version for €4 but i'd avoid that as it literally fell apart when a friend tried it on..:pac:

    Got one for a class party last week were everyone had to dress up in Santa suits.. Anyone in town Wednesday gone may have seen us :P

    Edit: S_hite!! ...Just noticed the Tag for Groceries
