How to get £6 worth of free chocolates before Christmas including Quality Street and Cadbury’s Heroes
SAVVY shoppers can get £6 worth of free chocolates before Christmas.
You could earn cashback buying your favourite sweet treat including tubs of Quality Street, Heroes and Celebrations.
The deal is via TopCashback where you can earn money with retailers by shopping online.
Firstly you need to spend £4 or more on chocolates to get the £6 cashback.
It is currently live and ends on December 31 – so you have until the new year.
However, it’s only available to members who are new to the website, meaning that if you’re an existing member you unfortunately can’t cash in.
It costs nothing to sign up and is quick and easy to do.
You’ll just need to provide an email and spend a couple of minutes making a password.
Once you’re all set up, you can go to any store that sells chocolate and take a photo of your receipt.
Again, make sure you spend at least £4 – the closest to this the better so you can get as much cashback as possible.
Also make sure your photo clearly shows the date, the name of the store, the receipt number, and the name and quantity of the item you purchase.
To get the money off you should submit the photo of your receipt to TopCashback via its website.
Only receipts from December will be eligible, so make sure you submit evidence before midnight on the last day of this year.
The deal is available at any store or supermarket which sells chocolate.
But it only works if you use the link via an internet browser – if you have the TopCashback app it won’t work.
You can only submit one receipt – so bear in mind that you can only redeem the cash once.
You should see the money in your account within 14 days, where you can then move it into your account from your bank account.
If you have any queries you can leave a message via the Contact Form on the TopCashback website.
SUPERMARKET DEALS ON XMAS TUBS
In the run-up to Christmas each year, supermarkets undergo a price war where they compete for the best deals on chocolate tubs.
This means they are constantly changing – so you should always keep an eye out for the cheapest offer.
A great way to do this is via comparison sites such as Trolley, which lays out an updated summary of supermarket prices for you.
As of this week a regular 550g tub of Heroes Cadbury chocolates is cheapest in Asda for £4.
In Tesco you can also get it for £4.50 if you’re a Clubcard holder – otherwise you’ll need to spend £6.
£6 is the flat rate elsewhere this week, such as in M&S, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
However Morrisons is offering a deal of two Christmas tubs for £8 – meaning each one would cost just £4 if you’re wanting to stock up.
Celebrations and Quality Street tubs reflect the same prices and generally cost £6 in most stores.
But they can also be bought cheapest in Aldi for £4.49, as well as £4.50 in Co Op and for Tesco Clubcard members.
Keep in mind that online prices do not always reflect what you see in store – some reductions may be happening in your local shop which aren’t advertised.
Look out for yellow stickers and reduction signs while shopping this week to make sure you bag the best deal.
To find your local supermarket, go on the website of your retailer of choice and use the Store Locator tool.
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.
