DISCOUNT retailer B&M has slashed the price on tubs of sweets that are perfect for Halloween.
The popular confectionery is flying off the shelves as shoppers get wind of the amazing offer.
Just £1 buys a 1kg drum of Haribo Supermix when you shop in store.
Usually you would pay a lot more for the sweet treats, for example, Iceland is currently selling 1kg tubs for £6m while Sainsbury’s has the 400g size on sale at £3.
Details of the fiendishly fab offer were posted on the Latest Deals website and quickly attracted lots of comments.
“Well this is Halloween sorted. A great offer! Thanks for sharing,” said one shopper.
Another posted: “Wow!!, fantastic price perfect for Halloween for when the little ones come knocking in their great costumes.”
And another commented: “Amazing price. What can you get for £1 nowadays. Will keep my eyes peeled.”
The offer is available in store on Haribo Supermix – the one with the milk bottles and tangy mini figures.
We have also found the same offer at B&M on 1kg tubs of Haribo Giant Strawbs, though sadly not on Starmix or Tangfastics.
As well as Halloween the tubs should come in handy for the festive season.
“I love Haribo and at this price may have to treat the family. Perfect for keeping for Christmas as well,” said one happy commenter.
“Now that’s a price for everyone, even if you don’t like sweets. Great for Christmas as well as Halloween,” posted another.
It’s always worth shopping around to find the best deals before buying.
Using websites like Latest Deals, or price comparison websites such as Trolley or PriceSpy can help you check prices and find special offers from hundreds of retailers.
Typing what you’re after into Google Shopping will also bring up a raft of prices and retailers, while joining Facebook groups such as Bargains UK and Extreme Couponing will alert you to discounts as soon as they’re spotted by members.
As 31 October approaches you may well find other great price cuts on confectionery, especially Halloween-theme sweets and chocolates because retailers won’t want to be left with stock after the event.
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.
