The bill-cutting tip has been shared online on Facebook, to the delight of snack food fans now intent on tucking in while cashing in.
The alternative product tempting people away from Pop Tarts are called Toast’ems, said to be similar – only cheaper.
While packets of eight Pop Tarts are on sale for £3 apiece, or 75p per 100g, you can snap up Toast’ems six-packs for £2 – 69p per 100g.
That means buying a box of Toast’ems instead of Pop Tarts every week for a year would prove to be £52 cheaper.
Retail giant Iceland announced the arrival of the new product in a Facebook post yesterday, declaring: “Toast’em pop-ups are here and you’ve got to try them!”
