Celebrations Christmas tubs reduced to just £3.89 at supermarket giant – cheaper than Tesco and Asda
CHOCOHOLICS are rushing to a major supermarket giant to pick up Celebration Christmas tubs.
The family fave chocolate tubs have been reduced to £3.89, as savvy shoppers stock up ahead of Christmas.
Aldi has stocked its shelves and slashed the prices of the Celebration Christmas tub ahead of the festive season.
With something for everyone to choose from, the cheapest tubs taste even sweeter packed with delicious classics such as Snickers, Galaxy Caramel and the love it or hate it Bounty.
The 550g tub is the cheapest price amongst all supermarkets, at just £3.89.
When it comes to shopping, it always pays to compare prices.
According to Trolley.com, the same tub of 550g Celebration Chocolate currently retails at £5 at Ocado, £6 at Asda or two for £9, £6 at Tesco, and £6 at Morrisons.
The mouth-watering deal is in stores only, with stocks limited. The sale ends on November 3.
Bargain hunters hoping to get their hands on the family fave tub of chocolates should use the store locator on Aldi’s website to find their closest one.
Aldi isn’t the only one to slash the prices on tubs of chocolate.
Lidl has reduced the price of Quality Street chocolate 600g tubs to £3.89 for Lidl Plus members.
In comparison Tesco is selling the same size tub for £4.50 to Clubcard members, while at Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda and Iceland the classic chocolate box will set you back £6.
Aldi is offering the tub for £4.49 and Ocado for £5.
Quality Street was launched in 1936 and has been a favourite with families since.
The selection includes ‘the purple one’ which brings together hazelnut and caramel, the toffee finger, orange chocolate crunch, strawberry delight and ‘the green triangle’.
If you’re looking to stock up on the festive favourites ahead of Christmas make sure you shop around and check the variety of products available.
This weekend shoppers flocked to Tesco to pick up 750g Quality Street refill bags, which were offered at the bargain price of £5 to Clubcard members.
The discount, 50 per cent less than the normal price of £10, is still available but the product is listed as out of stock online.
How to save money at Aldi
Unlike other major grocers, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop.
Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in-store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its ‘super six’ deal.
It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish.
How to get the best prices when shopping
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Another tool is Price Spy, which logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
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.
