Home Bargains shoppers rush to bag popular kids’ advent calendar scanning for 99p – and it’s the cheapest around
SHOPPERS have come across a mega Christmas deal at a popular discount chain with a price that blows rivals out of the water.
With the Christmas countdown nearly upon us, Brits are taking to the shops to find the best deals and prices for their festive treats.
Taking to Facebook, one shopper revealed how they found a Christmas staple for just 99p at Home Bargains.
They shared the Milkybar advent calendar deal on the Facebook Group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
“Found for 99p in Home Bargains I got 2,” the delighted shopper wrote.
“They also do a KitKat one for 99p I got 2 for my kids,” another commented.
“On our way,” another excited shopper said in response to another post about the deal.
The jaw-dropping deal beats the price of the advent calendar at rival stores by far.
Here are some price comparisons:
- Aldi – £1.99
- Morrisons – £2.50
- Asda – £2.50 but a reward deal saw coupon holders get it for £1
- Sainsbury’s – £3.00
- Ocado – Reduced from £3.00 to £2.50 until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on shoppers to bag another festive favourite – the Cadbury advent calendar.
The Sun has done the work for you, exploring which supermarket is the cheapest to buy the popular chocolate treat this week.
Much like the above price comparisons, Alid comes out as a winner with the best offer for the 24-piece milk chocolate calendar for just £1.46.
But, those who buy the calendar directly from Cadbury will pay a whopping £3.29.
Tesco offers the firm favourite for £1.50 with a Clubcard while Sainsbury’s, Ocado, and Waitrose have their prices at £1.75.
Prices tend to fluctuate a lot in the run-up to the festive period, so it’s worth keeping a close eye on your local stores for new deals.
If you want something with something a bit extra than just white or milk chocolate why not try the Terry Chocolate Orange calendar?
Currently, the best place to go for that is Morrisons or Sainsbury’s where is it £2.50.
Or, if Malteasers are more your thing, Aldi again comes out on top with the price set at £2.04.
For those still making up their minds, here is a review by The Sun of all of the classic supermarket chocolate calendars.
Even if chocolate is not what you fancy, or you want something a little more warming to count down to Christmas there are several rum advent calendars available.
The Sun tested seven of this year’s releases so you don’t have to.
Some calendars offer just 12 bottles while others do the full countdown.
