Lidl launch their own version of viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ for just £3.99 – making it the cheapest in any UK supermarket
LIDL fans are in for a treat this March, as the budget retailer becomes the first UK supermarket to launch own-brand Dubai chocolate.
The decadent treat has gone viral on social media over the past few months, with videos on the pistachio filled snack amassing over six million views.
The indulgent chocolate bar, which has a green filling made from pistachio and a traditional Arab dessert called Knafeh, often comes with a hefty price tag, with single bars retailing online for more than £15.
This means that it is unaffordable for many Brits, however, Lidl’s take on the viral sensation will only set shoppers back by £3.99.
The J.D. Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate will come in a 122g bar and is the cheapest Dubai-Style Chocolate available from a UK supermarket.
However, the product will only be made available to 6,000 lucky shoppers, when it is launched on TikTok shop at 9am on Thursday, March 20th.
The product will not be available in Lidl stores, and TikTok shop users will have to pay £1 for postage and packaging.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this tasty treat is perfect for making your mum feel loved, without breaking the bank.
Eagle-eyed shoppers have also spotted dupes of the viral chocolate bar in Home Bargains recently.
Posting on the Food Finds UK Facebook page, one shopper said she found the “DuBites” in her local Home Bargains store for £4.
Fellow shoppers have been quick to comment jealous at the find, which is £16 cheaper than the real bar version.
One said: “Uhhhh really need to try these.”
Another commented: “Get in the basket hun.”
Meanwhile, a third and fourth simply said: “OH MY CHRIST” and “OMG NEED.”
And the viral chocolate bar isn’t the only incredible bargain Lidl has on offer at the moment.
The bargain supermarket is selling the Parkside Pressure Washer for just £39.99, making it £120 cheaper than the Karcher version.
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.
The product will be available in stores from Thursday, March 20, so you won’t need to wait long to get your hands on it.
Just like the popular Kärcher branded model, Lidl’s pressure washer is great for tackling tough cleaning jobs with ease, making it perfect for sprucing up your garden for spring.
Pressure washers are a must-have for cleaning vehicles, patios, driveways, facades, and even garden furniture or barbecues.
This handy gadget features an adjustable Vario nozzle with point and area jet settings, giving you flexibility for any task.
It also boasts a pistol grip with child safety protection and a robust casing, so you can tackle your grimiest tasks with confidence.
