One thrifty shopper took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group to boast their discovery.
They said they had snapped up a 150g bag of Milk Chocolate Buttons by Golden Sunrise Foods for a bargain price.
But upon giving the treat a taste test, they were delighted to see the chocolate buttons were allegedly Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons – which retail for almost £2 elsewhere.
While Home Bargains was offering the much-loved treat for just 89p, a 119g bag of the same product will set you back £1.75 at Sainsbury’s or £1.90 at Waitrose.
”89p Home Bargains, got home to realise they’re actually Cadbury Chocolate buttons!” the happy bargain hunter said in their post.
Since being shared online, the post has already racked up a staggering 1.8k likes, with fellow thrifty shoppers racing to tag their friends.
One person said: “It only shows we just pay for the packaging.”
Another shopper wrote: ”I couldn’t believe it when I opened our pack for our little girl to decorate our cake.
”I actually looked at the Cadbury ones before I picked these up, thinking nah Cadbury are too expensive (for the small amount we need)! Heck of a saving there.”
It comes after a rare Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar has been spotted on shelves in B&M.
The bar is an Australian treat and not usually available to buy in UK stores.
It is a 180g Peppermint Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar — and shoppers are dying to get their hands on it.
The craze comes after one eagle-eyed shopper shared the discovery to the Snack Reviews Facebook Group.
In the photo, the bar’s wrapper shows a bright green gooey filling and describes it as a “flowing peppermint flavoured centre”
Their post racked up close to 100 likes and scores of comments, with one person saying: “We need to go to B&M!”.
Meanwhile, B&M slashed the price of family-sized Quality Street pouches to just £3 last week.
The same bag would set you back £4 at Tesco and £3.50 at Asda.
Stocks may vary by store, so check your local branch for details.
Bargain hunters also raced to Morrisons to get their hands on big packs of Cadbury chocolates scanning for just 87p.
How to save money on chocolates
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.
