B&M shoppers rush to buy Maltesers stocking filler scanning for 50p instead of £5
BARGAIN buyers have flocked to B&M after spotting a Maltesers stocking filler on sale for just 50p.
Originally up for grabs for £5, those hoping to self-indulge or gift the sweet-treat fix will want to be quick before the deal disappears from shelves.
Perfect for sharing, the box boasts a variety of different flavours to make a warming drink during the cold winter nights.
The 90 percent saving offers customers the chance to nab a Maltersers Hot Chocolate Kit for a fraction of the original price.
Great for couples planning a romantic night in, the box holds six sachets inside.
With three Maltesers White and three Maltesers Hot Chocolate Sticks, festive fans can also decorate their hot cocoa with heart marshmallows, sprinkles and chocolate drops.
One eagle-eyed shopper has already posted a picture of the incredible find on Facebook to make sure others don’t miss out on the offer.
The post has claimed nearly 400 reactions and just under 100 comments so far.
One user replied: “Check for these next time you go pls x”
Another said: “Whoever goes first pick the other one a couple up.”
Someone else wrote: “£5 no chance 50p yes”
A fourth put: “run don’t walk.”
Another person said: “Our kids would love these.”
Those hoping to nab the sale offering might want to phone up ahead before visiting in-store to avoid disappointment and check stock levels.
For online shoppers, the kit is available but only for the £5 price which does not include the added postage fee.
Advertised on the B&M website as low in stock, shoppers should hurry if they are desperate to get hold of this deal.
Those wanting to make the most of their cash in the run up to Christmas, could keep their eyes peeled for the Black Friday sale that B&M has already launched.
With Christmas decorations starting as low as 50p as well as 50% of energy-saving gadgets, there could be something for everyone.
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.
