Many of the customers took the opportunity to buy plenty knowing this was the last batch of biscuits to be available.
Amber Brown was one shopper keen to stock up.
"Oh we love these biscuits and have always bought them each year. It's sad they are stopping, I think they are a part of our culture really, everyone has a box or two in their pantry don't they?"
■ People wanting to stock up on the biscuits can keep an eye out for stalls outside both Stratford New World and Countdown Stratford as well as on Broadway over the next couple of weeks. Alternatively, call Jamie Swan on 027 654 1257
