The biscuits are available as limited offer items in stores across the UK, while stocks last.
One excited fan posted on LinkedIn: “Well, well, well… Lidl UK has stocked up on Tim Tam’s AU.
“Since my last post singing the praises of the mighty Tim Tam in Tesco it looks like Lidl has decided to up the ante- and slash the price!
“Is it worth it for that smooth chocolatey crunch and the ultimate Tim Tam? I think so!”
The bargain deal comes hot on the heels of a fresh wave of excitement around the Aussie treat.
A new extra chocolatey version of Tim Tams, branded “Aussie gold”, recently landed exclusively at Waitrose for £2.50 per pack.
Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam’s International Marketing Manager, said: “For over 60 years, Tim Tam has been Australia’s favourite chocolaty biscuit.
“We’re excited to bring another irresistible addition to the UK, offering the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers.”
Tim Tams, often compared to Britain’s Penguin biscuits, are made with two chocolate biscuits, chocolate cream, and a thick coating of chocolate, a dream for any sweet tooth.
The biscuits first hit UK shelves last year, launching at Waitrose and Ocado with three classic flavours: Original, Dark, and Chewy Caramel.
They were later stocked at Tesco, where fans rushed to snap them up.
The Lidl offer is expected to spark a buying frenzy, with shoppers urged to be quick if they want to bag a bargain.
Fans who have been craving the rich, creamy crunch of Tim Tams without the hefty price tag are in luck, but only for a limited time.
It’s not the first time UK shoppers have gone wild for Aussie snacks hitting the shelves.
Cadbury’s Aussie selection boxes, packed with rare favourites like Scorched Peanut Bars, Caramilk Twirls and Butterscotch Snickers, flew off shelves last year.
And earlier this year, B&M customers raved about getting their hands on Mocha Mudcake M&Ms, a flavour normally only available Down Under.
Retro food lovers have also been treated lately, with Aldi bringing back the much-missed Elkes Sports Shortcake biscuits.
A new Cadbury Dairy Milk bar stuffed with Mini Twirls has hit shelves, sending chocolate fans into meltdown.
Shoppers were also thrilled when Nestlé brought back the beloved Caramac bar for a limited time, after years of petitions and online campaigns.
Meanwhile, B&M made waves by stocking rare Aussie Cadbury favourites, including the iconic Caramilk, sparking a mad rush in stores across the UK.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
