#NationalBiscuitDay - dunking on a budget?

Options
Apologies if there have already been threads similar to this (send me some links if there are I want to have a little read). But as it's #NationalBiscuitDay I want to know how we can celebrate this with a little money saving twist.

What's everyone's most favorite and most moneysaving way to enjoy the good old biccy? Are you a branded or supermarket brand kind of person, or is baking your own the cheapest? :j

    Lidls (Tower Gate) digestives, so much nicer than McVities in my opinion.

    I raise your digestives with exhibit A, possibly the most dangerous foodstuff on the planet:

    Lotus biscuits.
    You can get a pack of 20 individual packs of 2 from P@@@dland for, you've guessed it, a pound!
    Unwrapping them means that it is easy to stick to just two and you can pretend that you are in a cafe!:)

    My DD buys Aldi's caramelised biscuits which are a dead ringer for the Lotus biscuits for 59p per packet but its far too easy to eat too many of them :):):)
