Shoppers rush to supermarket selling Cadbury chocolate for half price

There is nothing more than shoppers like than a bargain, and those who do love saving a bit of money are on their way to Sainsbury's as the supermarket currently has an epic deal on Cadbury chocolate bags, and other products from the brand.

At the moment, Cadbury lovers can get their hands on 100g bags of Buttons, Crunchie rocks, Twirl bites, Oreo bites and other Cadbury favourites for just 97p with a Nectar card. That's half price, considering the bags usually have a price tag of £1.95. The news was shared on the Instagram page of popular food account @newfoodsuk. They wrote: "Bags of Cadbury chocolate reduced at Sainsbury’s with Nectar Card!"

People were excited by the news, with the post racking up thousands of likes.

One person exclaimed: "Omg, get me to the Crunchie rocks," while another tagged a friend and wrote: "We need them all!"

A third admitted that they were "running" to the store, while someone else added: "Guess where I'm going tomorrow."

Despite the excitement one shopper moaned that there were "none left" when they headed to the supermarket to get them.

Others also argued that 97p should be a typical price for the chocolates anyway, as one person wrote: "That’s the price it should be."

Another agreed: "Should be that price anyway," while a third added: "Reduced to what they were before they overinflated the price."

Those who want to bag a bargain need to be quick as Sainsbury's is only slashing the price of Cadbury favourites for a few more days.

It announced last week that it was cutting prices of the brand from Wednesday (September 17) for just five days.

As well as the 97p chocolate bags, the 50% sale sees the price Heroes and Roses tubs down from £7 to £4.50, so anyone looking to stock up ahead of the festive season may want to head down there pronto.

The cost of a large box of Milk Tray will also halve from £11 to £5.50 and large 90g bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk will drop from £2.20 to £1.50.

The discounted prices will last until Sunday September 21.
