CHOCOLATE fans can bag a bargain on their Christmas Toblerone this year by heading down to Poundland.
The discounter is selling a 360g bar of Swiss chocolate for £3 – at least 50p cheaper than most of the supermarkets.
Watirose and Sainsbury’s are stocking the bars for £4.50, while Iceland and Morrisons are flogging them for £4.
Asda is the only supermarket also selling it for the bargain price of £3.
The branded bars will sit alongside Poundland’s copycat chocs called Twin Peaks, which saw the retailer taken to court by Toberlone makers, Mondelez.
In the end, Poundland was forced to pull its version of the bars and redesign them so that they couldn’t be compared to the real deal.
SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from Hannah Maundrell, editor of Money.co.uk, about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills:
The knock-off bars are still cheaper though – they cost £1 for 180g worth of chocolate, meaning 360g worth costs £1 less than actual Toblerone at £2.
Poundland has recently come under fire for introducing price points worth more than £1.
Now, it sells products for 50p, 75p, £1, £1.50, £2, £3, £4 and £5 across all 80-plus of its stores, causing critics to claim that it’s not longer a pound shop.
But the retailer says that it’s for this reason that it has been able to bring back bars of Toblerone, two years after dropping them for getting too expensive.
To get your hands on the bargain, you’ll need to head down to your nearest store as Poundland doesn’t offer an online shopping service.
You can find your nearest branch using the store locator tool on its website.
Tesco is doing personalised Toblerone bars this year for free – but you’ll need to visit one of the pop-up stands in store.
Poundland is selling a 6ft real Christmas tree for a tenner, making it a real bargain compared to other retailers.
The retailer recently added clothing lines in around 300 stores and is doing a pilot of fresh and frozen ranges in five stores in Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
