MSE blog discussion: Can you top my 2p biscuits?

Hi all, this is a thread to discuss the MSE blog:

"I’m taking a quick break from the hard-hitting world of personal finance to talk biscuits. While at my local Asda recently, I spotted a large stash of Decorate Your Own Christmas Tree biscuit kits, reduced from £3.50 each to 2p...
"

Have you managed to find any similar small-change super-reductions? Please post your finds below,

Thanks,

MSE Rose

    My local Co-Op has lots of discounts on at the moment. I got 9 rolls of nouvelle loo roll for £2.34 and a big bag of raisins for 14pence that will keep me in snacks and scones for weeks :D

    I read the OP with high hopes - I thought you might have a good recipe for only 2p / biscuit.
    Last week in Sainsbury's - Orange KitKats (2 fingers) nine pack for 10p
    ^^^^That was a bargain!

    My mum got a chocolate birthday cake from tesco which full price was £8, for 5p!

    there was also a football sponge and jam one for 5p reduced from £7 with a long date on it, the top was just smushed a bit! but the chocolate one was big enough.!
