B&M shoppers rush to buy new Nestle chocolate bar spotted on shelves and it’s ‘10/10’
B&M SHOPPERS have been going wild for a new Nestle chocolate bar which has been spotted on shelves in recent weeks.
The bargain retailer is known for stocking rare treats that you can’t easily find in other UK stores.
And recently a popular Nestle treat from Europe has made an appearance in stores.
Nestle Crunch Snack Peanut bars are now up for grabs at B&M, and it is causing quite a stir on social media.
A post on NewFoodsUK alerted shoppers of the find, with many fans expressing their delight.
“It’s my favourite Spanish snack but with peanut butter..get me to B&M tomorrow,” wrote one user.
“I bet these are 10/10,” said another and a third chimed in “I would love these.”
“These look ace,” said a forth, while a fifth said they “need them”.
Another customer said they had bought the product from B&M but was yet to try them out.
Nestle Crunch Snack Peanut bars are usually found in Central and Southern Europe.
The sweet treat consists of milk chocolate and crisped rice and a peanut butter filling.
A typical 51g serving is around 160 calories.
Nestle also sells crunch bars without the peanut butter filling, which are occasionally found in UK supermarkets.
Otherwise, websites such as eBay sell packs of 30 for £22.
The Sun has contacted B&M to confirm the price of the bar in stores.
B&M often leaves shoppers gobsmacked thanks to its range of hard to find chocolates.
Earlier this week, shoppers could not believe their luck after a rare flavour of Daim was spotted on shelves for just 23p each.
The limited edition orange flavour is being sold at the retailer for a bargain price.
The triple pack has been spotted at just 69p at the chain’s Ipswich store. This works out at just 23p per packet.
The deal was posted on popular deals sharing website, Hotukdeals.
Writing on the site, one shopper said: “Good find.”
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Another said: “Available in Mold North Wales too.”
Shoppers first spotted orange flavour Daim on shelves at Iceland in December last year.
They were being sold in packs of three for £1.25.
Meanwhile, B&M is stocking up tubs and tin cans of the Quality Street at competitive prices.
Such large packs are difficult to find at this time of year, usually making an appearance just in time for Christmas.
The bargain chain is selling the 813g box Nestle Quality Street for just £5.
Tesco is also offering a 600g tub of Quality Street for £5.40 with a Clubcard, down from its usual price of £6.
How to save money on chocolate
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 on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for 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.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
