  Great for people that don't realise how to make your own pancakes.
  
  You're paying over the odds for 155g of ingredients.
  
  Proof that many users of this website don't understand VALUE. Just a price that looks low.
  
  Cold.

  
  
  I'd spend 25p for 1 minute of preparation rather than 15p for the ingredients and 10 minutes of preparation and cleaning up after.
  
  How much is your time worth? Hopefully more than 1p a minute.

  Even 15p for the ingredients sounds a bit optimistic. The eggs we get work out close to 30p each, and they aren't exactly the most expensive. Granted the milk and flour only adds coppers on top of that, though.

  I buy the 9p own brand packets and add an egg myself as I love pancakes but I can't stomach these ready made mixes.

  Where do you buy your eggs from? Faberge. You can buy a tray of fresh farm eggs for £3.50 a tray. 11.6p and egg.

  HAving had these, I can confirm that they are pretty awful in comparison to traditionally made pancakes. But for the money / lack of fuss it's a bargain. I think the odd taste is probably due to the powdered egg and milk content.

  Eh? To make pancakes:
  1) Weigh flour
  2) Chuck in eggs
  3) Chuck in milk
  4) Stick on to whizz for 10 seconds
  5) Make pancakes
  
  I'd say steps 1-4 take less than a minute...it's 5 that takes the time. I imagine it would take me longer to read the instructions on one of these than to make pancake batter from scratch.
  
  I agree with others, though, that the cost of a couple of eggs is probably more than the 25p this costs...so if you're really tight on cash and need pancakes, this could be warm.

  You must be one of those TV chefs - everything you need is already out, measured ingredients are in bowls ready to use and then, once finished, some unseen person tidies up and washes up. I think your time is now worth 2p a minute.
  
  Well done.

  It could be said that you don't understand VALUE since this is a convenience product and saves the time and hassle of measuring up individual ingredients and cleaning up. VALUE is more than just cost per g.

  I'm amazed that some people are claiming 25p is still a lot when you consider the ingredients, you're paying for the convenience. I'd much rather give a kid this plastic bottle to shake to make them feel like they're involved, no one can deny that there's also a little less washing up if you use one of these.
  
  As for the argument of relating to the cost of eggs why not just throw the cost of having your own hens into the mix, yes they'll need feeding and housing but if you ever get bored of them there's no shortage of recipes involving chicken.
  
  For 25p these are a good deal, sadly any unsold stock will no doubt be marked back up for between £1 and £2 come February since I'm fairly sure these have at least an 18 month shelf life.
