Spotted at Aldi stores, the current offer could save customers 35 per cent when opting for the discounted deal.

The tubs have been reduced to just £3.89 each meaning savvy Christmas shoppers may stock up on the chocolate in the run up to Winter festivities.

Weighing 600g, the offer currently beats prices for the same item sold at Sainsburys, Morrisons, Tesco and Asda.

A returning fan-favourite filled with varying delights, the box offers something for everyone to choose from.

Delicious classics have not been forgotten, including the Toffee Fingers, Strawberry Delight and The Purple One.

Shoppers hoping to nab the tubs which are usually priced around £6 will need to be quick as the deal is set to end soon.

Only on offer until October 27th, customers who manage to beat the rest could even nab the product at its reduced price just in time for Halloween trick-or-treaters.

Those hoping to head to their local store should phone ahead to avoid disappointment as stock levels cannot be guaranteed.

While online shoppers wont be able to get the item delivered straight to their door as it has sold out according to the website.

With the Nestle product already being reduced to in-store offerings only, buyers may need to dash to their local shop.

Perfect for Christmas celebrations, family parties or even a quiet night in, the iconic purple tub offers approximately 21 servings.

Those heading down to their local branch looking for an alternative to Quality Street could keep an eye out for remaining Celebrations which also offer a selection chocolate box that is the same weight.

How to bag a bargain

SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…

Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.

Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.

Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.

Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.

Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.

When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.

Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.

And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
