Tassimo T discs - any advice on where to buy?

pcornall

I got a Tassimo coffee machine at Christmas and am now running out of the t-discs I bought with the £20 voucher that Tassimo give you with it. I've been looking around to see where the best value t-discs can be found, but it seems as though everywhere sells for the same price. The online Tassimo shop has similar prices to all the supermarkets and the only offers I've seen in the supermarkets has been things like 10p of a pack.

I have a Makro card so had a look there but couldn't find any as I thought maybe I could get them wholesale. I've searched online and everywhere I've found online actually sells them at a higher price than direct from Tassimo (eg bulk price of 5 packs for £30 when in fact an individual pack from Tassimo direct would only be £3.50).

So, does anyone have an tips or advice on where to pick these discs up cheap? Several people in my family have got the machines now but none of us can find anywhere to get them cheaper or in bulk.

[I've seen an older post on here asking a similar question, but is a couple of years out of date; hence the reason why I've started a new post]

I get mine at morrisons. Asda sell them too for the same price.
Hope that is helpful.:)

I've seen people on here saying they only buy the discs when they're on offer at the supermarkets, but I'm in Tesco and Sainsburys regularly and I've never seen any decent offers.

Buying from the supermarkets seems to work out cheapest for me, not that the T-discs are cheap to start with, but I think you know what I mean.

My OH only drinks decaff coffee which we can never find in supermarkets, Tesco used to stock some but stopped last year, now we just order direct in bulk from Tassimo, free postage if the order is over £30.

Have you tried Amazon?

More expensive than direct from Tassimo.:eek:

Thanks for the replies - all seems similar to my experiences. I've never seen any good offers on (kind of makes me wonder if there is some kind of informal price-fix). People are selling them on ebay and amazon for more than direct from Tassimo which makes me wonder who is buying it for so much more.

I've had the same problem finding decaf too - I guess maybe Tassimo just isn't popular enough for the supermarkets to stock big ranges or offer good deals. I think I'll just have to stick to ordering from Tassimo direct and bulk ordering to avoid the postage. Is kind of annoying there are no deals though as I'd happily buy wholesale quantities if it saved me money (especially as the discs aren't that cheap to begin with).

If you're willing to buy in packets of 5 and use Amazon as opposed to the 3rd party sellers, it is possible to save a little.

My favourite is the Kenco Colombian, where you could save a whole 15p a packet by buying from Amazon.

Better offer on the Caramel Latte Macchiato though. Tesco is £4.25 a packet, buying 5 packets from Amazon works out at £3.57 a packet.
