Quality Street and Celebrations tubs slashed to just £2 at supermarket giant from TODAY
A MAJOR supermarket is selling tubs of Christmas chocolates for a shockingly low £2.
Morrisons has dropped the price of four of its tubs from today by 66%.
But you’ll need to act fast as the reduced-price deal only lasts until November 21.
Shoppers can purchase the cut price choccies so long as they’re signed up to the retailer’s More Card scheme.
They also need to spend at least £45 in store, and only one tub per person is allowed.
The tubs on offer include 550g-600g Quality Street, Cadbury Heroes, Celebrations and Roses.
Previously, all four tubs cost up to £6 for shoppers.
The new offer from Morrisons is currently the cheapest price available for all four Christmas tubs out of the major supermarkets.
But prices can change regularly, and deals can start and end at any time, so the chocolate tubs could still be cheaper between now and Christmas.
Morrisons is far from the only supermarket to cut the price of its Christmas chocolates in the run up to the festive season.
Remember to always compare prices when shopping so you know you’re paying the right amount for what you’re getting.
A great way to do this is via the comparison site Trolley which will show the prices for every store.
A quick search with the Google Shopping/Product tab can also bring up what some retailers are selling items for too.
It’s worth going direct to discounter’s websites like B&M and Home Bargains too as they often have cheap chocs on sale.
Aldi is the next cheapest option for 550g boxes of Celebrations, which is selling them for £4.49.
Meanwhile, Sainsbury’s is selling 550g tubs of Roses for £4.50 to Nectar Card customers – £2.50 more expensive than Morrisons.
The 550g tubs of Cadbury Heroes are two for £9 at Asda, or £4.50 individually, but that’s £2.50 more expensive than Morrisons.
Aldi has the 600g tubs of Quality Street in stock for £4.49 which is the least costly after Morrisons.
For two days only last month, Asda dropped the cost of its Quality Street, Cadbury Heroes, Roses and Celebrations.
How does the Morrisons More Card work?
The Morrisons More Card is free to sign up to as an app that’s downloadable from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
You can also get a physical card which you can add to your wallet or purse.
It works like the Clubcard or Nectar Card in that you can earn points on purchases. You get one point for every £1 spent in-store or online.
Once you’ve got to 5,000 points you can either keep saving them or convert them into a voucher worth £5, known as a Fiver.
If you don’t have the app, you can get your Fiver printed in-store.
As a loyalty card member, you can also get lower prices on selected products, known as More Card Prices.
You have to scan your app or physical card at the till and the discounts are applied.
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.
