THE popular Cadbury advent calendars have been slashed to a mere £1.25 at a bargain supermarket.
A savvy chocolate fan shared the bargain find on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, where users frequently post the best deals they find in stores across the country.
Iceland shoppers are raving after a country-favourite advent calendar has been slashed to only £1.25.
In their ‘Deal of the Week’, Iceland is offering a buy one get one free deal on their 24-day Cadbury Dairy Milk calendar for £2.50.
This equates to only £1.25 for each calendar.
Comparatively, Aldi are selling the same calendar for £1.99 and Asda for £2.
And on the even pricier side, Sainsbury’s and Ocado have priced the calendar at £2.25.
The shopper’s Facebook post to the UK bargain group received hundreds of likes and comments from fellow chocolate fans.
One user said: “Ooh I need this!”
Another commented: “In-store offer too, I grabbed a few today.”
And: “I got 4 of these today!”
The user who initially made the post was unsure whether it was just online and not in-store.
One commenter said that it was a maximum of six calendars per person in store.
On the calendar’s product information on the Iceland website, it says that prices and promotions may vary for those online.
It’s also recommended to check your local store before visiting.
Elsewhere, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy festive chocolate treats that are perfect for kids’ Christmas Eve boxes.
The bargain retailer’s festive selection box has social media users going wild as they plan ahead for Christmas.
The find was posted on the NewfoodsUK Facebook group and it quickly amassed over 3,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
One user wrote: “I love these and will definitely buy two for my sons’ Christmas Eve boxes. I love creating their boxes.”
Of course, do bear in mind it’s still pretty early in the year and further deals will no doubt be released in the coming weeks.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk.
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.
