Supermarket giant slashes Quality Street tubs to just £4 – and it’s the cheapest around
PRICES for Quality Street tubs are being slashed in the lead up to the Christmas season – but shoppers need to act quickly.
Lidl are bringing down the cost of the popular chocolates to a new low price – here’s how you get your hands on the discounted goodies for a few more days.
The regular price of Quality Streets is £4.49, which is also the price for a tub of Heroes or Roses.
But popular cost-saving supermarket Lidl is bringing down the cost to just £4 until December 11.
Shoppers can access the deal on the Lidl app right now.
The news has been met with a sea of positive reactions, as Christmas essentials are being bought to snack on after a filling dinner.
One Facebook commenter wrote: “Its a good offer two for £8.”
But, some shoppers weren’t as impressed with the saving.
Someone was quick to point out how the deal compares to others on the high street.
They said: “They were Cheaper at ALDI & a lot bigger tins.”
Another agreed: “Was 2 for £7 B&M.”
OTHER SUPERMARKET DEALS
Elsewhere, Asda is selling a brand new refill pack of the Nestle-made chocolates for just £5, The Sun reports.
These bags contain 750g of Quality Street chocolate, 150g more than the typical 600g tub available this year and have become available for the first time at all major supermarkets.
However, the refill bag costs just £5 (66p per 100g) at Asda – £1 less than 600g tubs.
The bags include an assortment of individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates, toffees, the famous Green Triangle and The Purple One.
You can purchase them in-store and online at all Asda supermarkets.
The same refill bags cost £5.50 for those with a Nectar card at Sainsbury’s, or £6 for those without – the same price as the 600g tubs.
Large refill bags cost £6 for customers with a Clubcard at Tesco or £7 for those without. Their 600g tubs cost £6 for all customers.
At Morrisons, shoppers can bag the 750g refill bags for £7 – £1 less than the chain’s 600g Quality Street tubs, which cost £6.
As the festive season continues, major supermarkets have already been running deals on chocolates.
The Sun covered Sainsbury’s dropping the price of its Creme Selection share bag to just £3.50.
This deal went from November 27 to December 2.
The offer was for a 600g box full of individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates, toffees, and fruit cremes.
Shoppers are encouraged to check price comparison websites to find out where to get the best deal.
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.
t’s also worth noting that fresh deals are sure to crop up as we get closer to Christmas.
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.
Prices have already been slashed to as low as £2 at Morrisons – although this deal has now ended.
Plus B&M recently reduced the cost of a tub to £3.50 – but this has now gone back up to £5.50.
It’s worth going direct to discounter’s websites like B&M and Home Bargains too as they often have cheap chocs on sale.
For other chocolate box deals, Ocado is selling a 385g box of celebrations for £4.95.
Meanwhile, you can get your hands on a tub of Heroes for £6 at Asda, Tesco and Ocado.
