B&M shoppers are racing to fill their trolleys with iconic Quality Street tubs this festive season as prices are slashed to just £3.50.
Chocolate fans were thrilled to see the mega reduction in the lead up to Christmas – and there may be even more to come.
The tubs are on sale for £3.50 compared to the usual price of up to £6.00[/caption]
A helpful customer shared the information in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
“Not sure if all b&ms but the one in Rochdale has these. 600g for £3.50,” they wrote.
Chocoholics hailed the deal, one joked to their pal: “Can we go to B&M soon.”
“I need these,” penned another.
Someone else confirmed the discount was available in all stores.
“I got some after work for various family members and work. This was in the Heywood store so it seems to be nationwide,” agreed a fan.
One shopper added: “Someone came and bought 91 of them today!”
“Holy moly,” shared another.
But, shoppers may be interested to know there’s an even cheaper deal out there.
Morrisons are selling the legendary Christmas sharing tubs for just £2.
In fact, the supermarket giant dropped the price of four chocolate selections by 66%.
But you’ll need to act fast as the reduced-price deal only lasts until November 21.
Shoppers can purchase the cut price choccies so long as they’re signed up to the retailer’s More Card scheme.
They also need to spend at least £45 in store, and only one tub per person is allowed.
The tubs on offer include 550g-600g Quality Street, Cadbury Heroes, Celebrations and Roses.
And, the price war is heating up as the festive season gets into full swing.
Aldi is selling 550g boxes of Celebrations for £4.49, while Sainsbury’s is selling 550g tubs of Roses for £4.50 to Nectar Card customers – £2.50 more expensive than Morrisons.
The 550g tubs of Cadbury Heroes are two for £9 at Asda, or £4.50 individually, but that’s £2.50 more expensive than Morrisons.
Aldi has the 600g tubs of Quality Street in stock for £4.49 which is the least costly after Morrisons.
Remember to always compare prices when shopping so you know you’re paying the right amount for what you’re getting.
A great way to do this is via the comparison site Trolley which will show the prices for every store.
A quick search with the Google Shopping/Product tab can also bring up what some retailers are selling items for too.
It’s worth going direct to discounter’s websites like B&M and Home Bargains too as they often have cheap chocs on sale.
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.
