Better than free Jaffa Cakes

Asda are selling off the McVites Lime and Blackcurrant Jaffa Cakes for 17p a pack. But if you buy 2 packs, you get 40p off, meaning you get paid 6p for every 2 packs.

    Yum! I'll be paying a visit tonight then! Thanks!
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    From a legal point of view they're cakes!

    (cakes go hard when you leave them out, biscuits go soft!)

    wrong,

    They're legally classed as biscuits. They spent much effort convincing people of this because, cakes are a luxury food item and hence VAT chargeable, whereas for some reason biscuits are considered essentials and are not VAT chargeable.

    From wikipedia

    "Jaffa Cakes are classed as cakes for the purposes of taxation, but due to their size and high number per packaging, shops generally stock them within the biscuit section."
