Shoppers rush to buy ‘favourite’ discontinued Cadbury treat in B&M
SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a discontinued Cadbury treat that has been spotted at B&M.
Eagle-eyed customers could not believe their eyes when they spotted Dairy Milk Rounds on the aisle of the bargain store.
The post was shared by Snack Reviews on Facebook, with shoppers quick to share their excitement.
One shopper wrote: “They are so nice“.
While a second added: “I’m sure they did them back when I was a kid? Can’t wait to get some.”
And a third said: “Finally..been ages.”
However many customers moaned that treat had a unsavoury taste which wasn’t the same as normal Cadbury chocolate – as the treat is currently manufactured and sold in Australia.
One shopper said: “Don’t buy…they don’t even taste like dairy milk. They are from Australia so not the same dairy milk taste we’re used to in the UK.”
And another joked: “How many more shapes they gonna sell simple chocolate in *yawn*.”
The product retails for £1.25 at B&M.
While Cadbury axed the product a few years back, they have made sporadic returns since.
B&M last sold the imported chocolate last November, much to shoppers delight.
But if you are keen to shop the offer you will need to head to your nearest B&M as you can not shop the deal online.
With that in mind it may be worth ringing up your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest B&M by visiting www.bmstores.co.uk/stores.
And it’s not the only rare chocolate spotted on the retailers shelves in recent weeks.
Dairy Milk Slices Shortcake Biscuit chocolate bar is now available in B&M stores.
It was available in the UK until around 2008 but then was axed from shelves.
Choc lovers are flocking to their nearest store to get their hands on the packs of Milkybar KitKat.
The Australian import combines white milky bar chocolate with tasty KitKat wafer.
HOW TO SAVE AT B&M
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
These are added to special buy products that have been reduced in price.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
Two worth joining are B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More and Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
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.
