I haven't bought these for a while, as they are now so expensive. However, when I went to Sainsburys this week, I noticed they were reduced from £1.85 to £1 with a Nectarcard.

I therefore stocked up, and greedily bought SIX packs. I opened a pack tonight, and instead of NINE biscuits, there were only EIGHT!!! No mention on the pack, although when I look at the SMALL PRINT, and Googled, I notice the weight is less than it was.

However, although they forgot to label this reduction in biscuit numbers on the packet, they have apparently improved the packaging, as it says "Now resealable, with a new paper tray" 🤔

I guess it served me right for being so greedy. Would it be unreasonable to take the other five packs back to complain about the lack of labelling?!? 😂

Yes, I normally shop at Tesco, where they are £1.85 full price, but £1.25 with a Clubcard, and there are the full NINE biscuits in the old-but-perfectly-serviceable packaging.

Note to self... I must get a life...

What?! They use to do an amazing one with caramel but seems to have been discontinued

The absolute bastards.

I still haven’t got over how small wagon wheels are these days. And no, it’s not that my hands are bigger.
