    Why not just make up your own from instant coffee and cocoa powder?

    Tried the pound stores? (99p stores, the pound shop, savers and etc) they tend to stock these items and they tend to have much better prices! Iceland is another which has good offers but they are not every month so you may have to keep checking back.

    Otherwise try mixing what you have with plain coffee- you get a watered down taste but its going to last you longer. Or even Highlights mixed with coffee- I used to do this but you have to use a little coffee as it can block out the taste of the chocolate.

    try amazon or stationary/office websites such as staples etc they usually have good deals for those ridiculously expensive but very yummy drinks
  • Home bargains have a similar product by Melitta - 79p a bag. It is lovely.
  • Can't you limit yourself to one a day, that way it is more like a treat and something to look forward to, plus you save money.

    99p shop does the instant cappuchino sachets, not sure if they do what you like but always seem to have several boxed sachet coffees.
  • Is there a generic version of the kind you like? Could you make a cheaper homemade version?

    Yea i've tried making my own out of various different coffees and chocolates over the years but to me they all taste discusting. I swear nestle put something in it to make it sweet. Once i even tried nestle evaporated milk choc and coffee which was horrid lol!! :rotfl:
    Unfortunatly if i buy them i just cant seem to limit myself to just one, I always end up thinking i will just have one at night then by the middle of the week im upto three lol. The poundstores was a very useful suggestion ty i will have to go looksee. But thanks to all that posted. I would have never have thought of staples stationary!:T

    Hi, they're definitely £1 in Asda, they have lots of different varieties. I've just bought Latte Macchiato.
