BARGAIN lovers are raving about a new Cadbury treat spotted at B&M – and it could be the perfect budget-friendly stocking filler this festive season.
The new box has been spotted in supermarkets this week as fans rush to snap up the festive snack.
One shopper wrote online: “New Cadbury Chocolate Selection spotted at B&M Stores.”
Fans flocked to the comments, with one writing: “yummy” and another adding: “This is epic.”
The new selection costs £10, making it a cheaper way to stock up on chocolate without splashing out on pricier supermarket tubs.
Shoppers say the box is packed with favourites – from Twirl Bites and Dairy Milk to Buttons – making it ideal for sharing with the family or sneaking into Christmas stockings.
DIY chocolate hack
Instead of forking out on traditional selection boxes, you can create your own for a fraction of the price.
This fun DIY project not only saves you money but is sure to be popular with your little ones.
By creatively displaying your favourite chocolate treats, you can experiment with fun personalised designs.
The hack was shared by social media user Hawkyard, who demonstrated a few versions of her DIY chocolate hampers.
Christmas chocolate price wars
Sweets under the tree are a big part of Christmas for British households.
Supermarkets often offer flash promotions giving shoppers a chance to get their festive favourites at a discounted price.
But these offers aren’t around for long.
Earlier this month, Tesco slashed the price of Quality Street tubs to £2.95.
The price drop gave shoppers a chance to stock up ahead of Christmas.
You’ll need to hide away the tubs to avoid the temptation of tucking in before December.
Besides the big chocolate tubs, other Christmas favourites are starting to land on shelves.
Cadbury’s Mini Snow Balls are one of the best-selling chocolate treats during Christmas time.
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.
