Belvita Breakfast Biscuits

Barneysmom

I bought a pack from Morrisons and expected them to taste bland but they're quite nice. Fruit & Fibre
I'm doing a little test now, eating 4 and seeing how long they keep me going for..

How much do they cost, and for how many?

Barneysmom

Just over a £1 for 6 x 4 packs.
I think I need more than this though, it's not filled me today but it did on Friday.

Thanks for the info. Did you read on the link you posted that they are to be enjoyed "as part of a balanced breakfast".

Does this mean you have to eat other things with them too?

Barneysmom

I never on Friday, I was fine with just them and that was a work day too.
But this morning I've had 4 with a coffee and still feel hungry.

But I don't know what to have, normally if I have cereal I might have a bit of toast too or an egg/bacon sandwich.

I think they might be nice with a banana?

Just checked these on the Tesco web site, they are £1.09, but half price, normally £2.19

Were they on offer in Morrisons?

I got these a couple of weeks ago half price in sainsbury's as im terrible at having any brekki and often don't eat until lunchtime. I think they taste a bit like digestive biscuits. I find them quite filling (you get 4 in a pack) and im going to stock up while they are on offer.

Currently on offer at £1.09 in Sainsbury's. They are nice but I would not pay the full price.

Please money savers ...... its a marketing scam !
Buy digestives asnd use in same way !
Do you think for one minute if it was that easy to turn 4 biscuits into a breakfast they would be that cheap !
They slow release energy as much as you use it .... if you believe different then I have some tartan paint I need to sell you

I am amazed so many fall for marketing ideas when in fact a similar thing is 1/4 the price !:rotfl:

But they don't say they are a breakfast, they say they are PART of a balanced breakfast.

So where is this similar thing for 1/4 of the price?
