Cadbury is giving away Dairy Milk bars for FREE as Christmas secret Santa returns tomorrow – how to get one
CADBURY is once again giving away free chocolate bars as Christmas secret Santa returns – we’ve got all the details on how you can get your hands on one.
Choccy lovers need to keep their eyes peeled for the special posters that will be dotted around the UK.
Once you’ve found one you need to scan the QR code on them and request a free Cadbury bar.
You can choose between Dairy Milk, Winter Wonderland, Oreo, Caramel, Whole Nut, Fruit & Nut, Mini Snowballs or their Vegan Bar.
Depending on the bar, you can get between 90-120g.
The offer starts at 6am on November 4 and runs until midnight on December 22.
You’re allowed one bar per mobile number and a maximum of three per household.
The deal is open to anyone aged 18 or over and in the UK, although residents in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are excluded.
Once you have located one of the digital or static posters and scanned the QR code participants will be directed to a microsite and notified if the daily limit of free giveaways is reached.
Unclaimed giveaways will be rolled over to the next day until the end of the postal service period.
To send a bar, participants must fill in their personal details – including full name, email address and mobile number – and the UK postal address of the recipient.
Users will need to provide their mobile number to verify their entry via SMS.
There is a limited time to complete the form.
Then you can select the chocolate bar you want to send – subject to availability.
There are a maximum of 115,000 chocolate bars available in total.
Free bars available via the Cadbury Secret Santa microsite will be dispatched within 1-2 weeks.
Don’t worry if you miss out on getting a Secret Santa bar as there are plenty of other festive chocolate deals to be had.
A supermarket giant has slashed the price of a Celebrations tub to just £3.89.
Lidl has reduced the price of Quality Street chocolate 600g tubs to £3.89 for Lidl Plus members.
If you’re looking to stock up on the festive favourites ahead of Christmas make sure you shop around and check the variety of products available.
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 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.
How to get the best prices when shopping
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.
For example, 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.
Another tool is Price Spy, which logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and 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.
