Tesco shoppers rush to clear shelves of 75p chocolate treats in huge sale
SHOPPERS with a sweet tooth are being told to go to their nearest Tesco store as soon as possible to snap up an unmissable bargain.
Despite many Brits having overindulged in chocolate over the past few weeks, the latest deal for Cadbury treats means many may skip New Year’s resolutions to make the most of a good deal.
One shopper took to Facebook to share the news that Tesco is selling Cadbury multipacks for just 75p until all stock is gone.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Kim Jayne Louise Banner shared pictures of the stacks of discounted chocolate treats.
She wrote: “75p in Tesco not sure if it’s all shops.”
One of the products slashed in price was the Cadbury’s Santa Selection Box featuring five different chocolate bars and one bag of chocolate buttons.
The festive treat features one of each of the following bars: Crunchie, Dairy Milk, Fudge, Wispa, and Double Decker.
Usually, the box is £2.50 at Tesco and Ocado, £1.50 at Asda and £1.75 at Aldi.
Also included in the deal spotted at Tesco is a Malteaser multipack featuring Malteasers, a Twix, a Mars Bar, and a Milky Way all for 75p.
But, it is not only Tesco selling the festive item for a small price with other retailers also desperate to clear Christmas stock.
According to their websites, Waitrose is selling the 145g box for just £0.41, and Asda for £1.
But in the comments of the Facebook post, fellow bargain hunters have spotted the chocolate treats for much less
“39p in Aldi,” one wrote.
“27p in Sainsbury’s,” another added.
“25p in Coop,” a third said.
But, it seems that not everyone has been able to scoop the best bargains.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
“Seriously where are people still seeing these in supermarkets?” one frustrated shopper said.
“These things are only in big stores with excess stock so definitely won’t be all stores, can never find things like this when they’re posted,” another said.
“I live in a big city so things sell out too fast to be reduced like this.”
Other Cadbury bargains have been spotted at Tesco for just 87p.
Meanwhile, Lidl has slashed the prices of a number of its chocolate treats with some scanning for just 20p.
Aero and Milkybar tubes, as well as Cadbury Selection packs, are among the chocolate treats being sold for the cut-down price.
Asda is also helping shoppers save money by selling boxes of Cadbury chocolates for just 50p.
