Please try to find out the names :) I am fed up with either paying extortionate amounts or eating the same cereals over and over--- I actually had to wipe my mouth as I was drooling over the "malties" when I was looking for cereals in the "normal" aisle yesterday LOL

I have discovered that Morrisons do a packet of 9 digestives for 89p (approx) and the biscuits are wrapped in VERY sensible packs of 3, so there is no worry of wastage if you only eat biscuits occasionally.

Sorry to say not keen on those digestives but right next to them they do a lovely shortcake biscuit sane packaging 3 in a pack x 3. They are the cheapest price ever 87p ... go Morrisons

Hi there, do the biscuits contain oat flour.

I'm not keen on Tesco free from cereals as I find they add too much sugar and i am hungry and craving within an hour.

The Doves Farm Buckwheat (which tesco stopped selling??) are by far the most normal and filling cereal. I mentioned in here previously this cereal won awards and it is good sized cereal, not flakes that go to nothing in milk.

Only Asda and Sainsbury's do it now.

I wrote to tesco and asked why they stopped selling Doves Farm Buckwheat and they just mentioned their brand, I did say their brand i felt was not substantial enough and had too much sugar, but no reply?

Doves Farm - all the way, if they stop making I really do not know what I'd do - really!!

It's hard to find an alternative that is not packed with sugar or like crumbs, and the free from range and tesco brand is like crumbs and expensive for crumbs.

I buy 4 boxes a month for £10

choco snaps and special flakes by tesco free from range both cost £2.50. I rate the special flakes but not keen on the choco snaps but its personal choice. I mixed blueberries banana and strawberries and have them with almond milk which is supposed to be good for cholesterol? I love them

They seem expensive, in line with most other free from cereals. I'm so glad my son can have the Tesco crunchy nut cornflakes/cornflakes/rice krispies as per Coeliac UK with no problems.

I did not know about the Tesco cornflakes and rice crispies-- I think £2.50 is extortionate !!!! for GF. Are the c/flakes/crispies the value ones or the the other Tesco brand.

Will be trying the shortcake biccies!!! yum yum. I do hate paying over the odds for biscuits especially the ones that once you open the packet they have to be eaten quickly.

I really like this forum as the Directory of foods is very hard to use, and it is not necessarily as up to date as we on the ground. reading labels are.

Yes I find the food directory a bit tricky, thought it was due to my age not working it out.

I find the directory does not follow what I feel is common sense, there are some things I wanted to look up but because I did not know the manufacturers name I could not find them---especially with chocolate!!!!!! --- no I do not expect them to put things under " Yummy Creamy Thingy's" in a yellow and blue pack LOL
