Morrisons releases new Christmas baked treats as delighted shoppers say ‘I need these now’
SHOPPERS have been left salivating after Morrisons released a new Christmas baked treat.
The Gingerbread Latte Plait two-pack is available for just £1.89 at the the UK supermarket chain.
A post in Facebook group Newfooduk saw commenters unable to hide their delight.
One said: “There seems to be an explosion of new stuff like never before and it’s costing me a fortune.”
Another added: “We need these.”
And a third said: “Yes please.”
The supermarket has also released a Christmas Topped Brownie Traybake for £3.
The same shopper shared a picture of the treat in the same Facebook group.
One person said: “These are lethal.”
SLASHING PRICES
It comes after Morrisons slashed the price of its Cadbury advent calendar to just £1.
The bargain is only available from November 9 to 10.
Usually, these advent calendars are priced at £2.75, but instead they’re on sale for just £1.
It features 24 days of Cadbury chocolate in the lead-up to the big day.
The bargain is also available across stores nationwide, a Morrisons spokesperson revealed.
However, the offer is exclusive to Morrisons More Card members.
Meanwhile, M&S shoppers have gone wild for giant festive tubs branded better than Quality Streets.
With Christmas just around the corner, M&S has mixed its iconic Mini Bites into a family sharer for the first time ever.
The epic mix is three times the size of the classic tubs, and includes the bestselling double chocolate mini rolls, caramel crispies, and new festive flavour, cranberry and yoghurt clusters.
An M&S icon since 2001, there are 14 tubs in the range, plus three new tubs for the festive season.
The new tub is set to fly off the shelves, after the brand announced the new festive treats on Instagram, sending shoppers in a frenzy.
And crisp fanatics have discovered a rare flavour of Pringles in Homes Bargains.
For £1.59 you can check-out pizza themed Pringles, a flavour that’s received mixed reactions.
The crisps are meant to taste like a slice of pizza and have been described as having a strong tomato sauce and herb flavour.
A Home Bargains customer took a snap of the foodie find and posted it on Facebook.
One user tagged a friend and wrote: “Right up your street.”
Although not everyone was a huge fan of the idea with one comment simply displaying a “vomit” emoji.
The unique flavour has been around for years but they are often hard to spot on the shelves.
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.
