CHOCOHOLICS are flocking to B&M after the chain retailer slashed the price of Cadbury chocolates ahead of Christmas.
The festive treats are now down to £1 – and it’s the cheapest you’ll find.
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Robins chocolate 77g bag has been slashed to £1 – down from £1.50.
According to Trolley, Ocado, Tesco and Iceland all have the same chocolate for £1.50, while Asda has priced the Little Robins at £1.65.
The individually wrapped treats are perfect for sharing but you will have to be quick as stock is subject to availability.
You can find your nearest B&M store by visiting the store’s website and using the store locator tool.
Meanwhile, bargain hunters have flocked to B&M to nab a budget Christmas tree that’s perfect for small spaces.
Shoppers are raving about the cheap tree, which is just £10 – yes, you heard that correctly.
It’s perfect for those strapped for cash, so if the cost-of-living crisis has made your purse feel tighter than ever before, then fear not, you’ve come to the right place.
It comes after one happy shopper took to social media to show off her new bargain find, which she nabbed from her local B&M.
Thrilled with her purchase, India Westhoff shared snaps of the cheap buy on B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More, a private Facebook group with 705,700 members.
Alongside the snaps, India beamed: “Only £10 for this!!”
The frosted tree might be small, but it’s sure to leave your guests impressed this Christmas.
And even better, you won’t have to worry about covering up an ugly base or sorting out a stand, as this tree comes in a cute wooden pot too.
It’s a gorgeous decoration that is sure to brighten up your home in no time at all and if you’re on a budget, it’s bound to leave your purse pleased.
It pays to compare
As we get closer to Christmas shoppers can expect to see supermarkets offering more deals as they look to attract the lucrative festive spend.
Shoppers can check prices before they hit the supermarket aisles using comparison tools such as trolley.co.uk.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Another tool is Price Spy, which logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
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.
