Cheaper alternative to Benecol?

I've just started taking a daily Benecol for health reasons. I've noticed that wherever one shops the price seems to around £3.25 for 6. Does anyone know, please, of a cheaper source for the product or a cheaper alternative which broadly will do the same job. Thanks.

There are apparently supermarket own brand equivalents of benecol yogurt drinks which have the same effect on your cholesterol. Worth looking out for?

I'm with blondie.
oats are beneficial, as is a general good diet rich in veg and cold pressed veg oils.

Aldi do a cheaper one and they taste fine.

Many thanks for the helpful responses, guys. I'll most certainly give the Aldi option a go. My favourite breakfast is 40 grams of oat bran mixed with half a pint of semi skimmed milk and microwaved (900 watt) for four minutes, pausing each minute to give the mixture a stir. I have it with half a banana, chopped, and a handful of mixed nuts....
