CHRISTMAS has come early for chocolate fanatics, with Sainsbury’s shoppers rushing to their nearest store to get their hands on the festive treat before it disappears from shelves.
A Facebook post picturing the item has gained nearly one thousand reactions as the fan-favourite has been revealed as back in stores.
Eagled-eyed shoppers have spotted the packs of Kinder Bueno Eggs back in Sainsbury’s.
The release is yet to be unveiled for online shoppers but the festive packaging would suggest that the product has been re-stocked in the run-up to Christmas.
Nearly one thousand fans have flocked to a particular post on social media to express their surprise and amazement.
One said: “Highly recommend these, lushhhhh things.”
Another replied: “Omg I need to get some.”
Someone else said: “OMG need.”
A fifth commented: “YESSS. need. want.”
Whilst one user put: “They look amazingggg x”
Another said: “Xmas sweet season makes me happy.”
It has not been made clear what price the pouch was being sold for, however other sites seem to suggest around £4.
On chocolateandmoredelights.com the sweet treat looks ready to be sold for £3.99 on a page which states “back soon”.
It seems shoppers hoping to be one of the first to try the tasty treats this year need to head down to their local Sainsbury’s store.
Customers are reminded to phone-up their nearest branch before venturing out to avoid disappointment.
It comes as the face of Kinder was revealed.
Josh Bateson who is now 30-years-old graced Kinder chocolate boxes from 2005 until recently.
CONSUMER reporter Sam Walker explains how to save money on your next chocolate haul...
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.
