Excellent Alternative
In my opinion, these are an excellent alternative to the well known brand but at a much better price! They appear to be very similar and the taste is very close too. A great breakfast, whilst keeping more pennies in your pocket!
Deliciously half the price of the other brand
This is a no brainer. Why pay just over more than DOUBLE the price, for the same box of 48 from the other name brand? It makes zero sense They taste great, they taste like weetabix. exactly the same. there is zero difference This will be our staple brekkie moving forward. Leaves more money to spend on yummy yoghurt and fresh bananas to add to the breakfast enjoyment each morning.
Smaller
These used to be good value for money. But now they seem to have got smaller. I won’t be getting these again unless that changes.
A must have
These are Brilliant. Just as good as 'Weetabix' but much better value. The price for the quantity is great. Can't rate these highly enough. Very healthy, low fat! Sugar. Superb
The good start to a day.
Tesco Wheat Biscuits are a healthy and affordable breakfast which make a good filling start to the day. I eat two with semi skimmed milk without sweetener each morning and sometimes for supper. They are ideal for the customer who has to watch their calorie intake and at the same time their spending. I've tried Stockwell and would say suitable for those customers on a very tight budget that are trying to manage.
Wheat Biscuit wrapping
To those who comment on plastic wrapping of Tesco Wheat Biscuits compared to paper wrapping of Weetabix. Quite a number of years ago Weetabix also had plastic wrapping and I witnessed the change to a waxed paper - I suspect that it may well be a machine production issue - old production line machine v new machine. Old machine, for which the original capital cost has been written off, being used for Tesco production. Having no capital cost to recover enables a cheaper production cost for Tesco, which they will have negotiated. Only product difference between Weetabix and Tesco Wheat Biscuits ( and Stockwell ) appears to be the size of wheat flakes - Stockwell having much smaller bits of flake and hence 2% more wheat content to bind the product. Just my observation, after having eaten Weetabix ‘forever’, until switching to Tesco. Weetabix still has a very slight taste edge over Tesco ( barley extract ?), but not worth the significant price difference. The cost of Weetabix has gone up quite a lot following the business acquisition by Post Holdings ( American ) from the Chinese in 2017 - trying to recover the cost !
Great taste and fab price.
Fab product at a great price, only let down by the plastic inner...as many other posters have mentioned. Still, my #1 easy breakfast cereal and way cheaper than Weetabix and are as good in every way apart from the inner wrappings.
Disappointed Stockwell Wheat Biscuits unavailable
Disappointed Stockwell Wheat Biscuits unavailable and steep price increase of Tesco wheat biscuits - no longer good value for money.
Still Using Plastic!
The inside biscuit wrapping is plastic rather than the paper that Weetabix use. Come on Tesco you say you’re trying to be more environmentally friendly so get rid of this plastic wrapping please! The biscuits are OK though just slightly more crumbly but a lot cheaper!
I'm stopping buying these.
I used to like these a lot, but these days there always seems to be more crumb than biscuit. They collapse very easily. I've also discovered that the inner wrapping on Weetabix is paper and not plastic. Therefore I shall buy those instead next time even though they are more expensive! (They don't fall to pieces either!)
