A photo showing an Arnott’s TimTam Chewy Caramel packet, with 9 biscuits and a net weight 175 g. Its price sticker says $2.50 ($1.25 per 100g).

It says “Was $5.25. Save $2.75. Less than 1/2 price.”

Says it’s $1.25 per 100g. This was the price on Chewy Caramel and regular TimTams. The Murray River Salted Caramel had the same total cost ($2.50) and weight (175g), but listed its cost per 100g as $1.43. That difference is the only reason I looked it up. The Salted Caramel price is correct, these are not.

Other flavours of TimTam had a different total price and a higher price/100g, but I didn’t look in too much detail.

Before anyone asks: I cared enough to take a photo and post it here as a curiosity. But I did not care enough to complain to anyone in store.

      11 for the regular type (which helpfully ruins any chance of an even split unless you have a large group), and 9 for special versions/flavors is the norm afaik?

        Incredible or inedible?
