It's Christmas so it's time for sugary cookies!
And doubles as a storage solution for sewing supplies afterwards 😂
Looks like the real bargain is gonna be in January when they’re cleared out for $1.25.
I’m gonna get so fat…
Side note did they change the tin? I remember it being a darker blue…
You could be right.
Side note. My colleague use to bring this in the office for our afternoon coffee time.
Yum.
It’s only because I remember this being the brand name one that tastes way better…
The imitation ones tasted like stale cardboard, while these tasted moist and fresh!
Kjeldsens is the brand you want to have when it comes to tin Danish cookies. These and other ones you can only taste the sweetness or that fake butter taste. Cannot seem to find Kjeldsens easily anymore however.
@first in line: Certain Kmart and Big W stores used to sell them years ago but I can’t find them in Oz anymore in the last 10 years or so. Maybe try to find it online or get some mates to send it from the US, Europe or Asia etc?
@FrugalNotStingy: I believe they don't distribute Kjeldsens into Australia anymore, but they're sold in Asia. Maybe Asian stores or Red Dot et al that do parallel imports might have them. One time I came back from Hong Kong I brought a tin back. They definitely taste better than the brands here. Good times.
@misterchan: I did search a few Asian grocery shops as I know they were popular in HK and Singapore but I couldn’t find them. I don’t remember exactly but I think years ago I saw those snack sized small packet ones but not in a tin before. Maybe I should look harder at places that sell international food.
You cant really call them imitations, they are simply cookies. On top of that both Royal Dansk and Kjeldsens now belong to the same parent company, which probably use the same production line for these.
I think Danisa is from a different company but Kelsen is the biggest in the market.
Actually if you have kids or enjoy baking, just buy a Marcato biscuit press and have endless high quality cookies for almost nothing before you die of diabetes, or make yucky sugar-free ones:)
@truetypezk: Last time I bought a big tin of Royal Dansk cookies from Costco and they were awful and lack crunch. Not long after, I got someone brought back a tin of Kjeldsens from overseas and the cookies tasted much better.
Good idea to make your own cookies but It’s a good thing I am not good at making cookies and cakes otherwise it would be bad ;)
gotta differentiate between the 2 sewing kits….
Narrator: they’re both cookie tins.
What? You're telling me that these tins actually come with cookies and not sewing kit?
came here looking for this comment
The joke was already done by the OP…
even I grown up in Asia I still keep hahahahaha
my grandma keep sewing kit too in these tins too
My mother does the same. She likely learnt it from her mother.
Noob Question: Are the Wonderful Copenhagen biscuits the exact same as Royal Dansk biscuit? Royal Dansk biscuit on Amazon go for like $40 a tin.
$20 for 1.8kg of Royal Dansk at Costco
The photo is different to the description.

Shouldn't you be buying this AFTER Christmas? This is ozbargain after all.
Por que no los dos? Before and after Christmas.
No, don't encourage the boffins to buy a tin(s), then sit there and eat all of it themselves - you know they would.
The tin worth more than $5 if you compare with the Sistema containers.
Finally these tins actually with cookies :)) !
Woolies are selling them at 4.50
But it's not Royal Dansk
They actually dont stock them anymore, ive been trying to get my hands on these for quite a while.
Good place to hide cash from wife after …?
Hide the mistress contact info.
opens tin
Dear Jimothy,
I owe you 1 x tin of butter cookies, here are some sewing supplies instead.
Curses!
Sometimes it's Kelsen, sometimes it's Kjeldsens, other times it's Royal Dansk. They all good tho :3
The tin is where's at . Who wants cookies?
but the cookies from them are so yummy 😋
My fave as a kid was the pretzel shape with sugar
Anyone seen any good deals on sewing kits to go along with this?
sewing kit included ?
Damn I came to make a sewing tin joke.
beautiful cookies with great price. kids love them.
Wish they made square tins, better for storage..
^^^ This !! yes, I have like 4-5 round tins in the cupboard wasting space cause they aren't efficient and I wanted to use them rather than throw them out.
Is this similar to Aldi's?
Yeah I was gonna ask. We got it for $4.85 at Aldi I think.
A tin of sugar for $5.
A sugar full of tin $5
Gonna get one for my grandma
Huh, somebody put biscuits in the sewing supplies tin…
OMG, I thought it was only my mum that put sowing supplies in the tins.
What, seeds, fertiliser, tillers?
Yeah I think even the stump jump plow ended up in one of those tins!
Actually now that mention it, mum did keep her gardening seeds in one of these tins as well.
How long is the used by date usually on these?
Usually 8 - 12 characters depending on date format, eg YYYYMMDD or DD MON YYYY, etc.
Good quality sewing thread should last around 50 years.
Family eirloom that. Handed through the generation.
Mum got scissors for cutting fabric that she inherited from her mother. Its built to last.
Walk into the Supermarket and have a look?
Time to store some mini figures (with magnets on their bases)
I will store some for you, Quagsire
In jv’s voice: This looks like the normal price
You forgot to bold the word normal.
Schrodinger's biscuit tin paradox. Before you open it, it exists both as biscuits and sewing supplies
Dont be fooled. You get biscuits in these ones.
they better. 😥
When I was a kid I love this now I can't eat too much of this.
only 28% butter…
Normal price? https://pricehipster.com/product/vXdfjUWSaHC5me1xgWz5Mg~rJBV…
