A Reddit user posted a photo of Tim Tams on a supermarket shelf priced at $6.

“I (remember) when a double pack used to only be about $4.50. F**k this shit,” the Reddit user wrote.

Another Reddit user said the iconic Aussie treat sells for less despite import taxes.

“That’s in Australia? They’re half that in Canada, and they have to import them from Australia,” one person wrote.

“Like many other shrunken and quality-reduced products, I can live without them,” another said.

At the time of writing, a 200g packet of Tim Tams retails at $6 at Coles and Woolworths, while a 365g packet sets buyers back $7.50.

In a statement sent to the Daily Mail, Arnott’s spokesperson said that it was due to the increased price of input costs that has resulted in the Tim Tam price hike.

“Like most Australian manufacturers, we are experiencing a significant increase in our input costs, including the surging price of cocoa,’ the spokesperson said.

“This has led us to make the difficult decision to increase the price of our Tim Tam biscuits.

“We continue to invest in promotional programs with our retailers year-round to ensure consumers can buy our products at great value prices.

“The changes are necessary for Arnott’s to remain competitive as an Australian manufacturer and to continue to make the delicious products Australians know and love.”
