A MAJOR UK bargain chain has dropped the price of its giant bag of Cadbury Heroes.
Originally retailing at £4, chocolate lovers are in luck as Poundland has slashed the giant bag of sweet treats to just £2.
The 300g pouch features a mix of popular Cadbury chocolates including Dairy Milk, Crunchie, Twirl, Creme Egg, and more - ideal for sharing (or keeping all to yourself).
While it usually sells for £4 in Poundland, it can also retail for much higher prices - as seen here on eBay for a hefty £13.99.
The bargain chain has slashed the price as its usually only sold around Christmas so they are getting rid of old stock - but it's a great way to buy treats and save money.
If you're heading to your local Poundland store in search of the treat bag, you can find the .
It seems its not just Poundland discounting its sweet treats ahead of the Easter holidays.
Sainsbury's has dropped the price of its popular large Cadbury and Nestle chocolate eggs to just £2.50 for Nectar Card customers.
Originally retailing at £4, it's the perfect time to grab your favourites for less - from Cadbury Creme Egg to Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Tesco is also a great place for an egg hunt as the supermarket giant has slashed their XL-sized eggs to £4 from £6 for Clubcard members.
You should still remember to compare prices to make sure you're getting a fair bargain.
Websites such as Trolley are useful for this -- just enter the product you want, and it will show you all the different prices which are currently available from each retailer.
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
