SHOPPERS are raving after a UK supermarket heavily slashed its luxury chocolates.
Chocoholics are now flocking to their local Tesco store to scoop Lindt’s Lindor 70% Dark Mint Chocolate Truffles for just £1.88.
The mouthwatering treat has been discounted from its original £7.50 price.
The deal was posted to hotukdeals.com, sparking huge excitement among those keen to bag the delicious treats.
However, the offer is only eligible to customers at the chain’s Willowbridge branch in West Yorkshire.
Even when an item is reduced it’s always worth comparing prices to find the best deal.
According to trolley.co.uk the 200g box of chocs are selling for £4.98 in Asda.
But you might still find them reduced cheaper in supermarkets in other stores though, like in Tesco.
Shops often reduce stock to make way for new season items, though this can differ from store to store.
At Tesco discounts can be found on shelves with the label “reduced to clear”.
These items can be among full priced items, or in dedicated areas in each shop.
Perishable items are usually marked with a yellow sticker.
Meanwhile, chocolate lovers are in a frenzy over a “sublime” new Easter treat spotted on Tesco shelves.
The “posh” chocolate has sent sweet-toothed shoppers into overdrive after a keen-eyed customer shared her find online.
Shopper Emily Ellanah posted on Facebook: “New pistachio Lindt Lindor Easter egg spotted at Tesco!”
Her post quickly blew up, racking up hundreds of comments and reactions from fans eager to grab the posh treat for themselves.
One user commented, “The Easter egg I want,” while another raved, “Now they’ve upped their game!”
A third gushed, “They are sublime,” and one simply added, “I want these bad boys, please.”
PRICE OF CHOCOLATE SOARS
Experts have warned of chocolate price hikes due to a global shortage of cocoa.
Cocoa production in West Africa accounts for around 70% of global supply but harvests fell by 11% last year.
Prices hit a record high in March following El Nino weather conditions, pests and diseases affecting crop yields.
The crisis led to bean costs per ton hitting £7,800 – up 350% from September 2022, and issues aren’t abating any time soon.
A spokesperson for Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, recently said cocoa and dairy costed “far more” than they have done previously, on top of high energy and transport costs.
This has led to it having to increase the price of certain products, including Mini Eggs, while shrinking other items and keeping their price the same.
