Asda Shoppers rush to stock up on boxes of Cadbury treats scanning at 50p
ASDA shoppers are racing to get their hands on a popular Christmas stocking filler that has been discounted before it sells out.
The supermarket is selling boxes of five Cadbury Puds for just 50p which are perfect for an after-dinner treat.
That works out at just 10p per chocolate.
The popular treats usually cost £2.50 for five, or 50p each.
A savvy customer shared the news on Food Finds UK Official and said: “Currently down to 50p a box in Asda”.
Others were quick to praise the deal as one replied: “Enjoy your choc feast”.
The Puds are a chocolate ball with a truffle centre, hazelnut pieces and crunchy puffed rice pieces.
Shoppers who are keen to get their hands on the deal should head to their local store as it does not appear to be available online.

You should ring your local store ahead of your next visit to avoid disappointment.
The Puds are a seasonal chocolate bar so stock may vary.
Meanwhile, one savvy shopper managed to pick up one of the treats for just 15p at his local Asda store.
Festive deals
Now Christmas is over many retailers have slashed the price of their festive treats to get rid of stock.
Asda is selling tins of Quality Street for just £4, beating rivals Tesco and Morrisons.
The 813g metal tins, which typically cost £12, have been reduced by £8.
This means shoppers pay just 49p per 100g of chocolate.
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go’s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they’ve found on the cheap, including food finds.
“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket’s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
The price cut makes them 1p per 100g cheaper than picking up a 600g plastic tub sold at the two rivals, which cost £3.
Meanwhile, last week Asda cut the price of its popular 750g Roses chocolate tin with a limited edition design from £10 to just £5.
The deal was spotted in the Asda Goven superstore just outside of Glasgow.
Shoppers were also eager to get their hands on a new cream egg based on one popular Christmas chocolate.
Terry’s Chocolate has released an orange cream-filled egg which can be picked up for just 65p at B&M.
The chocolate will rival other popular Easter treats including the Cadbury Creme Egg and Caramel Egg.
Always compare the price of chocolates at different supermarkets to make sure you are getting the best deal.
You can use websites such as Trolley.co.uk or Price Runner to compare the cost of certain products at different retailers.
