Exact date in days major supermarket will stop selling £2 Christmas choc tubs including Celebrations and Quality Street
A MAJOR supermarket has launched a £2 Christmas chocolates offer – but the deal is around for just days.
Morrisons dropped the price of four iconic tubs including Quality Street, Celebrations and Heroes, yesterday.
The retailer says the deal is running nationwide with shoppers able to get 66% off the normal £6 price point.
However, there are some major caveats to the offer, including that it is only running until November 21.
Shoppers also have to be signed up to Morrisons‘ More Card loyalty scheme, spend at least £45 in-store and are limited to one tub each.
The new offer from Morrisons means it is the cheapest supermarket to get a 550g-600g tub of Quality Street, Celebrations, Heroes or Roses.
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.
Retailers often battle it out to offer the cheapest festive chocs ahead of Christmas and this is not the first time in weeks a retailer has slashed prices.
Asda dropped the cost of its Quality Street, Cadbury Heroes, Roses and Celebrations for two days only last month.
While Morrisons’ Christmas chocs deal is the best on the market at the minute, it’s always worth comparing prices to be sure.
You can use websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner which let you compare prices on thousands of products.
A quick search with the Google Shopping/Product tab can 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.
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.

Plus, reporter Rosie Taylor tried supermarkets’ own-brand Christmas cakes – and the winner isn’t from Aldi.
