Tesco Clubcard members can buy the popular chocolate tubs for just £3.95[/caption]
Tesco shoppers are raving after their favourite chocolate treats were reduced from £6 to just £3.95.
However, this bargain is exclusively available to Tesco Clubcard members, who receive an impressive 34 per cent discount on the tubs.
Clubcard members can choose from Roses, Quality Street, Celebrations, or Heroes, all scanning for £3.95 at the major supermarket chain.
The shopper’s Facebook post to the UK bargain group received hundreds of likes and comments from fellow chocolate fans.
“I need to get some for Christmas,” said one user.
Another commented: “Might need to visit Tesco over the weekend.”
However, many shoppers took to the post to vent their frustration over the size of the boxes this year.
“Why do they make them smaller every year? Another 100g taken way,” cried one user.
This shopper added: “Tubs are smaller than last year! I’ve decided not to buy any from now on.”
“I won’t buy these now, not like they used to be and the tins get smaller every year,” commented a third.
Currently, Tesco Clubcard members enjoy the best deal on the popular chocolate tubs.
Sainsbury’s shoppers will need to pay £6 if they wish to enjoy any of the Celebrations, Heroes, Quality Street, or Roses tubs.
Similar prices can be found at Asda who also offer a Celebrations and Heroes tub bundle for £9.
It remains unclear whether Tesco’s discounted chocolate tubs are still available for Clubcard members, as several bargain hunters have reported that the deal ends today.
“I think they are back at full price now,” said one user.
While another wrote: “Last day today then they go back up in price.”
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 on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for 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.
Elsewhere, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy festive chocolate treats that are perfect for kids’ Christmas Eve boxes.
The bargain retailer’s festive selection box has social media users going wild as they plan ahead for Christmas.
The find was posted on the NewfoodsUK Facebook group and it quickly amassed over 3,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
One user wrote: “I love these and will definitely buy two for my sons’ Christmas Eve boxes. I love creating their boxes.”
Of course, do bear in mind it’s still pretty early in the year and further deals will no doubt be released in the coming weeks.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk.
What can I get with Tesco Clubcard?
TESCO’S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop.
These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.
Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example.
You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with “reward partners”.
For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.
Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs.
Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what’s available now.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.
The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you’ll pay a higher price.
These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price.
But it’s worth noting that just because it’s discounted doesn’t necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal.
You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
