Shoppers have DAYS to snap up Quality Street & Celebrations at major supermarket as it slashes price ahead of Christmas
SAVVY shoppers have just days to get their hands on Quality Street and Celebration tins for a bargain price.
With less than a month to go for Christmas, everyone’s favourite choccies have been slashed to just £3.50 – perfect for stocking up.
Sainsbury’s has reduced the price of Quality Street and Celebrations across its UK stores, and all you need is a nectar card.
A 600g tub of Quality Street normally costs £6 so customers can make a saving of £2.05 if they’re part of Sainsbury’s loyalty card scheme.
You can grab the handy loyalty card on Sainsbury’s website by filling out a form for free.
The offer is currently the cheapest on the market, beating Aldi’s low price of £4.49 for the same size tub.
Bargain hunters will need to be quick, as the discounted prices will only run until Monday, December 2.
The tub includes an assortment of individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates, toffees, the famous Green Triangle and The Purple One.
But prices can change regularly and deals can start and end at any time, so the chocolate tubs could still be cheaper between now and Christmas.
Sainsbury’s is far from the only supermarket to cut the price of its Christmas chocolates in the run-up to the festive season.
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.
How does a Nectar car work?
Nectar is a loyalty card which is free to sign up for and allows customers to collect and spend points.
The scheme provides discounted prices on hundreds of products in-store and online.
Much like Tesco‘s Clubcard, you earn points when you buy selected products in-store by scanning your card or app when you checkout.
You need to be 18 or over to become a member and will need to register online to get your Nectar prices.
You need a Nectar account to get Nectar Prices and Your Nectar Prices.
It takes a few minutes to join and you get other great benefits too. You’ll need to be 18 or over to become a member.
If you are shopping online, make sure you add your Nectar card to your online Sainsbury’s account.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
