    alternative to chips

    Interesting comparison, it's more a cracker I would say. Good with jam in between two layers.

      Haha I needed something that I could eat instead of chips when I stare into my pantry and this was the only thing that did it for me … YMMV

  • No S&S option for me… Hmmm…

    • Same, no S&S from what I can see. Appears to be an option on the '9 grain' option only.

      • I was really only after the Super Seeds, so it's still a good price either way.

    Good with cheddar. This is good price. They used to be $3.30 "everyday" at Coles without ever discounting, until this year.

    • They've been around forever. They must have been cheaper than $3.30. Google is telling me that they are $2.50 at Coles but I can't load Coles page at the moment to check whether that is a special ending tonight. Cloudflare is not happy this afternoon.

        The $2.5 Coles rn is a catalogue special ending tonight

    • Used to be 2 for $5 couple of weeks ago.

  • No love for the cracked pepper?
    Best flavour by a country mile in these.

    • I use to love the cracked pepper! I think they discontinued them :(

  • Original - S&S OOS

    Anyone else have fond memories of spreading a thick layer of butter & vegemite, then squeezing together until the 'worms' come out of the holes?

    Snacking Raises Insulin Levels

    Whenever you eat, your body secretes insulin, which delivers sugar from your bloodstream to your cells, then to your liver and muscle for storage.

    These storage units, however, only take what they need. They aren't greedy. If you've still got sugar hanging out in your blood, your liver repackages that sugar as triglycerides. Insulin then stores those triglycerides as, you guessed it, fat.

    Every time you snack, you raise insulin levels. Granted, those 100-calorie snack packs will raise insulin more than a handful of almonds, but snacking raises insulin, period.

    "If you snack just as your insulin blood level is decreasing, it will promptly rise, even if you have a good snack such as fruit and nuts," says Eduardo Castro, M.D., a specialist in fat-loss resistance syndrome.

    In other words, snacking keeps insulin levels elevated, which makes your body more readily store fat.

      • Hope you are not denying science

        • Science is supposed to be questioned. Granted, with reason and evidence rather than putting fingers in ears and going la la la which is the more popular approach.

    • I'll take your snack and raise you an extra 30kg

        I like my biscuits without it.

  • Does anyone feel like they changed the recipe this year? I had been getting the 9 Grains ones for years but stopped buying them now as they were terrible the last couple of times I bought them. Hopefully it was just bad luck but I am not willing to try again any time soon.

      A long time ago I regularly bought Salada biscuits until Arnotts moved their production to another location with different ovens. They were never the same after that. These days it's fake Jatz for me when I do buy crackers at Aldi. Those aren't as good as they used to be either. I wouldn't be surprised if Arnotts make them now ;-)

    • Arnotts changed many of their biscuit recipes. Their Milk Coffee biscuit which used to crash inside of itself if you dunked it in your tea/coffee remains hard like a Jatz cracker now even after 10-15 seconds. They've also quietly reduced many of the sizes… another master of the art of shrinkflation.

        I think the Arnotts oven change might have necessitated recipe changes in the crackers but as I said that was long ago and I don't know whether that affected other biscuits. I'm sure the biscuits undergo recipe changes all the time in the hopes of cutting product costs but you hope they would try to make them better otherwise. A Milk Coffee with better integrity doesn't sound that bad maybe your jaw muscles are getting weaker ;-) I'm by no means a regular buyer of Arnotts biscuits any more. Apart from buying Tim Tams on special out of desperation when I run out of discounted block chocolate, I'll buy generic iotherwise especially if I feel the need for a plain biscuit like "Morning Coffee." The last time I bothered looking the generics were being made in Australia again back from Fiji. Unfortunately, I see Sakata rice crackers and the Aldi equivalent have moved from Australia to Cambodia.

        Do Aldi sell a generic Vita-Weat? I'm suddenly feeling a desire for one.

          Do Aldi sell a generic Vita-Weat?

          No but I wish they did.
