Supermarket giant slashes price of Celebrations tubs to just £2.99 just in time for Easter weekend
CHOC lovers are flocking to a major supermarket after the price of Celebrations tubs dropped to an unbeatable £2.99.
The sweet deal was first spotted at the ASDA store in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, where 550g tubs of Mars Celebrations were flying off the shelves.
Shoppers couldn’t believe their luck, with one writing on social media: “Excellent price, good find.”
Another added: “Bought loads!” while a third said: “I wish they were this price all the time.”
The deal came to light after a savvy customer posted in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, revealing that the tub scanned at £2.98 at checkout, even though it wasn’t marked on the shelf.
The shopper also pointed out that they saved an extra penny using ASDA’s rollback pricing.
The discount doesn’t appear to be limited to just one store.
Other bargain hunters reported finding the same offer in ASDA stores across the UK.
Comments came in from Swindon, Filton, and Newport, with shoppers confirming they too had grabbed the chocolate tubs for £2.99 or less.
One shopper wrote: “Yes, lots in ASDA Haydon in Swindon.”
Another said: “They are £2.99 in ASDA Filton,” while someone else chimed in: “They had loads in Pill, Newport.”
Celebrations tubs are a favourite in UK households, especially during holidays and parties, typically costing around £7.
The current price means shoppers are saving more than half, a welcome treat as food prices remain high.
Last month, Farmfoods ran the same deal, offering 550g tubs for £2.99, which at the time was the lowest price on the market.
That offer has since ended, making ASDA’s rollback the best available right now.
It comes as more retailers compete to draw in shoppers with tempting deals. Just recently, B&M brought back Cadbury’s Daim Eggs for just £1.50, another fan favourite that had vanished after Christmas.
The 77g treat is made with creamy Dairy Milk chocolate and crunchy Daim pieces, and shoppers were quick to snap them up.
While the Celebrations deal is a steal, shoppers are being urged to check their local store, as stock and pricing can vary.
The item may not be visibly marked with the discount, so it’s a good idea to scan it at the self-checkout.
And with birthdays, bank holidays and summer gatherings on the way, now’s a great time to grab a bargain and fill the snack cupboard without breaking the bank.
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.
