Asda slashes the price of popular Christmas chocolate stocking filler to lowest price in the shops right now
ASDA has slashed the price of a popular stocking filler, making it the best offer around.
The major supermarket has dropped prices just in time for Christmas – but you’ll have to be quick to get your hands on one.
Asda has knocked the price on shelves lower than every other retailer, with the sweet treat selling for as much as £6 in other stores.
The Toblerone large milk chocolate bar (360g) is selling for just £3.
The supermarket was previously selling the Toblerone bar for £4 but has decided to further reduce it, now saving shoppers £3 on the popular stocking filler.
The chocolate retails for £6 in Sainsbury’s but is £4.50 in Poundland.
Tesco is the next cheapest place to buy it at £4, but at £3, Asda beats all other retailers.
The offer runs until just after Christmas.
So you’ll have to hurry if you want to grab the bargain before Christmas, as stocks are likely to sell fast
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being overcharged.
PRICE COMPARE
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
CHOCOLATE DEALS
This week shoppers can find amazing deals on festive favourite chocolates.
Currently, supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury’s are charging £6 for the popular Quality Street Christmas tub.
Asda is selling a refill pack of the Nestle-made chocolates for just £5.
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.
You can purchase them in-store and online at all Asda supermarkets.
Large refill bags cost £6 for customers with a Clubcard at Tesco or £7 for those without.
Meanwhile, Poundland has slashed the price of a Terry’s Milk Chocolate Ball to just 75p, making it the best offer around
Elsewhere, for less than £1, bargain hunters could nab the deal which includes Dairy Milk Buttons, Chomp Bar, Freddo, Curly Wurly and Fudge.

Customers could also keep their eyes peeled at Poundland and Asda stores which have advertised the same box on sale for £1 and £1.25, respectively.
Already sweet treat fans have reviewed the item up for grabs with one shopper describing it as a “fantastic gift” for all.
And it’s not just chocolates Asda have significantly reduced this year.
The major supermarket has dramatically slashed the prices of a major Christmas dinner essential in a competitive supermarket price war.
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 about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the 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.
