Shortbread Deals & Offers

Two more I found in Argyle Street, Glasgow, tonight: Milk Chocolate Muffin Mix 224g (on the left, Rainbow Cookies on the right) (near the toiletries) and Triple Chocolate Shortbread Cookies (at the food/tins section)

I LOVE rainbow cookies...but perhaps I shouldn't look at the ingredients (shock)

Says at the top of the post: "All ingredients included - just add butter." Bottle blurb says, "Cookie mix with sugar coated milk chocolate candy beans"

Is that all sugar? :o

We've bought this and it does make nice biscuits

Bargain!

Great price :D

Don't rate you chances of getting these at 4p a box that's 25 for £1 (lol)

Tesco in reading, Berkshire

It was priced at 4p on the shelf edge label. But they were on a top shelf so prob not many people noticed. The girl at the till said she couldn’t believe the price when she put the tickets out that morning.

Won't these be past their expiration date? They were released in 2016, I know shortbread usually has a good life expectancy but still, 2 years later, they must be a bit stale.

Quislings and traitors voting this cold! Gawd bless yer Ma'am!

2 new outfits needed ,2 weddings coming up for her majesty.dont think they will have these on the menu

What a waste of money, and that tin of biscuits is rubbish too.

You wouldn't.

These taste like they are made from very old or low qaulity flour.

Great find. I can hand them out at fat club!

Bring on the CHEAP shortbread!, hehehehe. :-D

Made with majority oil instead of butter which makes them far cheaper to produce and far less tastier. Not as good for you either but that's a whole other debate.

Nice to see you weren’t greedy and left some for others. Sorry but the little (devil) in me would have cleared the shelf.

We have the same taste in shortbreads!! :D (highfive) I've just checked that Lidl's is also 32% butter like Walkers. I regret buying 2 boxes of the Paterson's Scottish Cream Shortbread...bleurgh I'll either give them away or make crumble toppings onto ice cream and desserts.

Agreed....Lidl's own brand shortbread is one of the best out there in my opinion...Aldi's does not compare...nor do most other supermarket brands!

Are these as good as Walkers? An alternative to Walkers is Lid's McAllisters shortbread 45pence (when on offer) which tastes better than Aldi's imo.

This isn't proper shortbread

Im glad I'm not the only one put off by the rapeseed and palm oil which has somehow found its way into the food chain. Nasty ingredients. I will check out the Aldi shortbread. 😊

YES IMHO If you haven't tried them you are in for a treat lol

better than Walker's?

Thanks OP I love shortbread and Cambells isn't one of the better ones. If you really like shortbread then you probably already know that Dean`s is very good as M&S and if you didn't know then try them. Much better than a lot of the stuff that comes into the shops at this time of year.

I agree it isn't big but you're paying for the novelty value of the tin and the teddies. You may be interested to see what people pay on Ebay for empty novelty tins. Very collectable if you're into that sort of thing. I like them anyway and have ordered a few for family members. :D

You would have to really like the tin

These are made with vegetable oil and marg. Sorry but I prefer all butter shortbread.

Burton's 'Royal Edinburgh' crap. Have seen 'Scotch Shortbread' made in Birmingham and Indonesia in B&M and Home Bargains (poo)

Paper box versipn £1.99

Homebargains also have exactly same £2.99

Get 600g of mcvities Victoria chocolate biscuits for that money!

gold coated teddy bear biscuits! Apologies for that.

£80! Is it a real bear?

Wow that expensive!!!

Ouch!

£80!? (horror) I'll pass thanks...

Got one of these for my great aunt last year as a little gift and she loved it. She’s over 80 and doesn’t like the faff of decorating the whole house so having a few festive bits out like this make her feel a little more in the Christmas mood

It’s back up to full price now

Does anyone know if this is still half price? Can't find it online

Especially as they can guess what it is straight away before unwrapping unless you put it in a box.

I brought one of these today its so lovely and well worth the money and can be kept year after year

My order arrived today, with a best before date of May 2018, but I suspect they'll be gone well before Xmas!

Cheers ordered too for £8

Heat £8 with my S&S

Thanks Niall71, hopefully the Heston xmas puds are next :)

It finishes Tuesday 21st Nov. They have quite a bit from their Christmas range such as biscuits, mince pies, cakes also half price.

Nice one

Do you know how long this deal is on for? Thanks

yes

We did a blind taste test at work one week, and shockingly ALDI beat M&S, Walkers and all the big brands easily.

You can get 4 x 125g packs of fingers for £1 quite often in Home Bargains etc so I'm baffled why this is such a deal as it's the same sort of shortbread for the same price.

I concur with the above post. What level of butter does this have compared to quality brands as described? Zero I bet! It's cheap for a reason.

Which director? Krennic?

Its what the director gets given by the nice lady with the short skirt sat on his knee...

Probably same as these made by Walkers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Walkers-Shortbread-Homebake-Squares-Carton/dp/B01EWEVUGM

I'd second that - the Lidl version is also all butter, and almost identical to the M&S version at a fraction of the price. It tastes exactly the same - just a different shape. M&S shortbread is good - but no better than the Lidl version. What M&S is good at, though, is persuading their customers to overpay for products that can be had elsewhere for a lot less. Likewise the M&S Stilton - comes from the same creamery as, and identical to, the Aldi Stilton.

Lidl do a shortbread finger at 49p for 210g ie better than half this price and they are excellent quality.

Exactly, it's all about the phrasing. 'Homebake style' and 'homebaked taste' shows that in no way have these been anywhere closer to a kitchen than your own.

Bought a couple... Thank you :)

ok I see

If you read carefully, I stated that it was £1 in Tesco Express however when I scanned a box in Tesco Extra it was £2, i.e. they will not be £1 in all branches.

confused labeled as 1 pound scanned as 2 pounds what happened next sis u have it changed to 1 pound manually.

good find op, heat added

We believe you :3 no need to post

yea your right snowflake, who ever seen a penguin with a scarf!!

strange looking penguin :(

There's **** all short bread in there then and it's not the best either. The tins cool though.

highwoods about 7pm last night had shelf of them

what Colchester branch did you get these from? highwoods or other one

The packaging makes it look two deer.

You got there quick! oO

just cleaned the shelves at Tesco Solihull :D

wowwwwww heat!!!!!

​Thought it would have some sugar and flour in it too? :|

All butter very nice

We did a taste test in the office, including M&S and the like... (we were busy that day!) Amazingly, Aldi shortbread won 8) Just thought I'd mention it. I so enjoyed my job that day

Will be 50p - £1 on the 23rd :)

The product on my picks shows their standard shortbread @ £4 but when you click on it the Xmas image appears - confused me for a minute or two so thought I'd mention it!

I think it should be buy 2 for £4.40 with PYO i.e. £2.20 each ;)
