$18/£13.3 for a single sleeve of biscuits off Amazon's US site. If I get them I'll have to hide the price from my partner.

What that's insane! There has to be a better supplier out there.

There are. I can get them for $4 at a grocery store by me

Where do you live? I can get hobknobs at grocery stores in New Jersey (NYC metro area). They are like $4 Wegman’s carries them.

Deep south, I'll look for them next time I'm at a Fresh Market.

If you have a local city with a large enough UK ex-pat community they should beeasy to find.

Still from the show Arrested Development of the sign for "Wee Britain"

Not sure I've got one nearby, but I can look!

Just be sure to watch out where the lanes reverse direction!

My pick is Irish and it’s Jacob’s Club which is a plain biscuit with chocolate. It’s like a kit kat with a cookie middle rather than a wafer

Find others, they are not one of those that you have to get the brand. Every spermarket here has their own one.
