Iceland shoppers rushing to buy new Magnum dupe ice cream perfect for the heatwave
ICELAND shoppers are on the look out for a new Magnum dupe ice cream perfect for the heatwave.
The bargain supermarket has launched three packs of Majestic white chocolate rhubarb and custard lollies in time for summer.
The ice creams aren’t currently available on the Iceland website so you’ll likely only find them in your local branch.
You can find your nearest Iceland store by visiting iceland.co.uk/store-finder.
Some shoppers have already picked them up from their closest store, with many commenting on a post on the Snack Reviews Facebook page saying how tasty they are.
One said: “They are so good.”
A second commented: “Got them in Iceland yesterday they are super yummy definitely worth trying especially if you like rhubarb and custard sweets.”
A third joked: “I bought two boxes… Had them both over two days.. very nice lol. But I have to not buy again too dangerous.”
We have asked Iceland how much the rhubarb and custard ice creams cost and their calorie information and will update this story when we have heard back.
It comes after Farm Foods started stocking packs of Cornetto, Magnum and Twister ice creams from just 99p.
Magnum’s Mini Double Gold Caramel Billionaire six packs are included in the in-store deal, as well as Cornetto Soft Stracciatella and Caramel ice creams.
Even vegan ice creams can be snapped up, with vegan Magnum Chills on sale.
The cheap ice creams were spotted by a shopper who shared the news on the Bargain Lovers Facebook page.
Hot weather has hit the UK, with temperatures expected to reach 22C over the weekend.
Meteorologists have warned that temperatures are “nearer to what we’d expect in July”, with the seasonal average for April normally 12C.

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.
