CHOCOLATE fans are flocking to Heron Foods for more than 50% off a rare Cadbury bar.
The Top Deck, which normally sells for £1.69, has been slashed to just 69p.
The 95g bar boasts two generous layers of creamy white and milk chocolate – the best of both worlds for chocolate lovers.
The vintage chocolate was available to buy in Britain from 1993 until the 2000s but then vanished from shelves.
Top Deck was relaunched by Cadbury last year and sent 1990s fans wild with nostalgia.
News of the sweet deal was posted on the HotUKDeals website where shoppers were clamouring over the price.
“Now that’s a bargain for a right classic,” one said.
“Picked up a box yesterday – date is good till June so should be good for baking/eating etc for a while,” said another.
The 69p price tag for a 95g bar of Top Deck is the cheapest we’ve found the chocolate bar selling for online.
Sainsbury’s is selling the same bar for almost four times the price, at £2. Iceland is selling Top Deck for £1.75.
The most expensive of all is Amazon, selling a 95g bar for £4.99 – proving Heron Foods’ 69p deal is a real bargain.
But shoppers better move fast, we’re sure the cheap choccy won’t hang around for long.
Heron Foods, which is owned by B&M, has over 300 stores across the UK – you can find your nearest using the store locator tool on its website heronfoods.com.
Remember it is always good to shop around to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.
The closer it gets to Easter the more likely it is that other retailers will start competing to be the cheapest in a bid to get your cash.
You can use shopping comparison tools such as Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk to compare the cost of items across different retailers.
Also, remember that there is a chance you can get a different offer in-store to what is online so keep your eyes peeled.
Cadbury brings back vintage chocolate
The much-loved Top Deck, first launched in 1993, was brought back by Cadbury last year as part of the brand’s 200th-anniversary celebrations.
Featuring a vintage-inspired packing from the original Top Deck in 1993, it gave 90s babies a trip down memory lane.
Cadbury confirmed they would relaunch the chocolate bar in 2024 after requests from nostalgic fans.
Speaking in June, Mara Popa, brand manager at Mondelēz International, said: “We’re delighted to be answering Cadbury fans’ requests and relaunching Cadbury Top Deck in the UK for a limited time, as part of our 200-year anniversary celebrations.
“With two delicious layers of milk and creamy white chocolate, every bite of Cadbury Top Deck will reward you with pure indulgence!”
A month later and nostalgic fans were spotting Cadbury’s Top Deck chocolate bars in the aisles of the popular grocery store.
“Cadbury’s Top Deck is back….spotted at Tesco,” said one shopper, posting a photo in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
“This was my fave,” replied one nostalgic user. “I remember this,” cried another.
The chocolatier marked its 200th anniversary by bringing back vintage Dairy Milk designs spanning the last 100 years.
Sweet-toothed foodies were able to get their hands on designs from 1915 to the present day.
B&M shoppers went wild for a rare Cadbury chocolate bar usually only seen on the other side of the world.
Meanwhile, customers were left brimming with excitement after finding out the discounter had started stocking Cadbury Caramilk Crunchie bites.
