If you want really good quality, continental biscuits -try Lidl! They are excellent quality and not even a fraction of a fraction of the price!
I go to Aldi and Lidl a lot and they have some fantastic bargains in the food department and excellent quality too. Aldi got a really good write up in the Sunday Times this week some of the food was voted the best out of some top supermarkets.I went this afternoon actually and I now have a huge Stollen, a big chocolate Pannetone, Continental Dark Chocolate Gingerbread and Choc Covered Waffles and huge box of Belgian Chocolate biscuits.
Total cost was about £9!
Mind you, I must admit, I do most of my shopping there now. The majority of their stuff is brilliant quality.
It depends on what you like, if you are housebound etc etc etc.
My mum is housebound so loves to buy things like these for the family, that way she doesn't have to depend on family for every little detail of shopping.
YES they are expensive, YES I would trail round the shops for her BUT she has the money and wants her independence, so why not?
I am belgian and know my chocolate and cookies lol
Destroopere are good quality cookies, but they sell at 50p-£1 a box or so
10 boxes at £32 incl pp is a total rip off!!!!!!! This is really disgusting
I should make a business whenever i travel to belgium: i load my car full of cookies and destroopere and sell them here with a minimal profit

Hi Tia, Do you celebrate your Christmas throughout Christmas Eve into the early hours? Don't know where you Continentals get your stamina from....
I saw these biscuits in Tesco yesterday (the thin butter biscuit ones) at £1.09 per box. My eyes almost popped out of my head yesterday when I saw the price of them on QVC - shameful!
