CRUMBS!

I tried supermarket knock-off versions of Oreos – my winner was tasty and could save you £55

OREOS have become a family favourite for kids and adults alike.

The classic American cookies and cream flavour biscuit was first developed in New York in 1912 - over a century ago.

It didn't travel across the pond to UK supermarkets until 2008, but has since gained many fans.

Supermarkets have now formulated their own rivals to Oreos, and they range in price and flavour.

The Sun put them all to the test and considered taste, price, cream to biscuit ratio out of 10, and an overall score out of 30.

One dupe even beat the original flavour, but it was a bargain supermarket that won.

Swapping from the name brand to the own-brand in your weekly swap, could save you as much as £55 a year.

Oreo

The Oreo is top tier biscuit
  • 154g
  • 89p - £1.50 (depending on where you buy them from)
  • Price per 100g - 57p-97p (depending on where you buy them from)

The original Oreos had a firm biscuit crunch and crumbly texture in your mouth.

While it adds to the taste, it's messy to eat and broke apart as I took just one bite - not ideal for on the go snacking or with kids.

The middle was sweet and creamy and sets the standard for others to try and follow.

Despite being the original, I personally would like more as it's my favourite part.

The price of Oreos can vary depending on the supermarket you go to, and what deals they might have on at the time.

For example Asda was selling them for 89p when I tried them, but Sainsbury's had them for £1.50.

If you can't find them for cheap, some of the supermarket versions I tried give the OG a run for their money and can save you money.

  • Taste: 8/10
  • Price: 7/10
  • Ratio: 8/10
  • Overall score: 23/30

M&S

Marks & Spencer's was by far my favourite but the price was a let down
  • £2.25
  • 176g
  • Price per 100g - £1.27

These aren't just cookies and cream biscuits, they are M&S cookies and cream biscuits.

The ratio of cream to biscuit was perfect as they have more of the filling than original Oreos.
