Shoppers are only just realising a huge supermarket has slashed the price of Cadbury’s chocolate to 82p
SHOPPERS have only just realised that a huge supermarket has slashed the price of Cadbury’s chocolate to pennies.
Sainsbury’s has reduced a bunch of Cadbury bags to as little as 82p.
However, the smart savers who shared this news with us each used their Nectar cards to get the discount.
Usually, these sorts of chocolate bags sell for £1.65.
But be warned, the deal is said to last from Monday, September 16 to Sunday, September 22.
Via the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page, three shoppers shared their shocking revelations, with evidence of their tiny spending.
“Sainsbury’s 82p each with nectar card”, one wrote, with pictures of the goodies attached.
Curlywurly’s, Crunchie rocks, Twirl bites, Oreo bites and Dairy Milk buttons are just some of the sweet treats pictured.
However, Nectar card users will have 13 different types of goodie bags to choose from.
Combined, the Facebook posts have racked up almost a thousand likes, with plenty of comments to match.
“Just got six packs kids will be happy when they get home”, replied one shopper.
“Yummy yummy”, said another.
The second smart saver who shared the deal on the page also mentioned that they found it at Sainsbury’s in Bury St Edmunds.
“Cadbury milk buttons and other bags 119g bags 82p on nectar!!! £1.65 without!!”, they claimed.
“Just ordered their Brunch bars for my Sainsbury’s delivery. Hope they’ve got some left by Friday”, said one shopper in response.
The third shopper who posted their fabulous steal said: “All Cadbury bags 82p with nectar – great for Christmas (Sainsbury’s).”
One shopper replied with a pressing question: “Is there a limit.”
“Love how it says great for Christmas, who you kidding”, joked another shopper.
“Wouldn’t last till Christmas in this house lol”, revealed a third person.

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.
