Shoppers ‘on a mission’ to buy new ‘delish’ Lindt flavour based on classic Italian dessert
SHOPPERS are rushing out to buy a new Lindt chocolate flavour based on a classic Italian dessert.
The chocolatier has unveiled a Tiramisu flavour Lindor combining creamy chocolate with hints of coffee.
The Newfoodsuk Facebook page recently posted about the new flavour with shoppers quick to react.
Over 780 have liked the post and almost 500 have commented, with one saying they were “on a mission” to find them.
Another said: “I’ve had them. They’re delish.”
A third commented: “Yes these are already on my must try list.”
And a fourth who has already tried them added: “Can confirm they are yummy.”
Anyone looking to snap up a pack of the new Lindt flavour can buy a 200g pack, which has 1,254 calories, for £6.30 or two for £10.50, saving £2.10.
You have to spend a minimum of £20 to qualify for home delivery which costs £4.95. Orders over £50 are eligible for free home delivery.
Some shoppers on Facebook are saying they have found the Tiramisu chocolate balls in select Tesco stores as well, but we couldn’t see them online.
We have asked Lindt what supermarkets they can be bought at and will update this story when we have heard back.
In any case, if you spot the chocolates at your favourite retailer, make sure you shop around before buying them to ensure you are getting the best price.
You can use price comparison websites like Trolley and Price Spy which trawl through thousands of items across online retailers.
You can also do a quick scan of the internet using the Google/Product shopping tab.
It’s not the first time in recent weeks shoppers have spotted festive chocolates on shelves months in advance of Christmas.
Earlier this month, Aldi shoppers were rushing to buy Celebrations tubs scanning for £4.49.
Meanwhile, Quality Street launched a nostalgic festive tin for £12, marking 88 years since the chocolates were first made.
Plus, Tesco had shoppers at one branch left baffled last week.
The UK’s supermarket was found to be slapping a buy limit on Cadbury Roses despite Christmas being still being around 100 days away.
It came after the retailer launched a huge toy sale ideal for Christmas shopping.
Customers can choose from Hot Wheels to Peppa Pig toys – with up to 50% off.
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.
In other retail news, John Lewis and Home Bargains have both confirmed they will close on Boxing Day this year.
Plus, Lidl shoppers have been rushing to buy an energy-saving gadget scanning for £14.99 instead of £29.99.
