Shop you’ve never heard of selling 300g bags of Celebrations for just 1p each
A SHOP you’ve never heard of is selling bags of Celebrations for just 1p each.
The chocolate favourite is making its return to stores ahead of the festive season and eagle-eyed shoppers have have found the cheapest prices.
As Christmas becomes more expensive with each passing year, some punters may now have the perfect solution to rising food costs.
Now, online retailer Discount Dragon will have you covered for almost everything you need for a fraction of high street store prices.
And that includes your festive-favourite chocolates, which are always popular with shoppers at this time of year.
To help save you money on your food bills, Discount Dragon are offering shoppers the chance to buy 300g bags of Celebrations on the cheap.
Two Celebrations Milk Chocolate bags are going for just 2p in the incredible offer, posted by hotukdeals.
However, there is a catch as the popular chocolates have a shelf life which will expire on New Year’s Eve this year.
And punters who may be thinking they should stock up on the sweet treat may be hit with a roadblock though.
Discount Dragon is only allowing a maximum of two items per order so everyone can get their fair share.
For reference, Sainsbury’s are selling a similar sized 325g bag for £4.50.
And Asda are touting the same size bag for £3.50 according to online prices.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
