Tim Tam Original Chocolate Biscuits 200g (+ Aldi/Coles haul)
The definitive cheap Australian souvenir, a third of the import price abroad, with supermarket-exclusive flavours that make it a genuine 'only here' buy.
Price: 6 AUD (Coles regular shelf price for 200g pack; routinely half-price at A$3 or 2-for-A$8 on rotation)
Where to buy: Coles, Woolworths, Aldi (any suburb); watch weekly catalogues — Tim Tams go half-price roughly every other week

- Buy the flavours that never leave Australia: Murray River Salted Caramel, Double Coat, Chewy Caramel, Dark Mint.
- Pro move: time your haul to a half-price week (A$3/pack) and do the full Aldi/Coles souvenir run — Cherry Ripes, Caramello Koalas, Shapes — in one go.
- Biscuits attract GST so they're technically TRS-eligible, but you'd need A$300 at one supermarket chain; treat the refund as a bonus, not the plan.
- Commercially packaged biscuits clear US and Indian customs fine — just declare food.
