One bargain hunter revealed they managed to get their hands on a tin of Quality Street from Farmfoods for just £1.99. That's right, under two quid for the popular chocs.

Over on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one shopper shared: "Farmfoods 410g tin – not out of date."

They found the Christmas chocolate bargain in the Spennymoor, Durham store and many people were quick to follow in their bargain hunting footsteps. "I got six tins," one user admitted. Another gasped: "Wow."

Although, it appears that not every Farmfoods were displaying the same deal. On the same social media post, one user wrote: "I was in our local Farmfoods yesterday and they weren't this price."

Someone else urged: "Hopefully there's a limit on how many you can buy so people won't be left empty-handed." While this user questioned: "Wow got to be an error surely."

But, there does to seem to be a slight catch. Instead of the bog standard 600g, these cheap chocs weighed in at 410g. They also expire in January 2024, although that wouldn't be a problem if you were to devour them throughout Christmas.

On average, a 600g tin of Quality Street costs £4 and the bigger 813g tub will set you back £10. So what about the other supermarkets? Well, Iceland priced Quality Street at £4 with Tesco charging the same, but are offering the 813g product for £8.50 for Clubcard members.

Without being part of the loyalty scheme, the larger chocs will cost £10 – the same price as Sainsbury's. Whereas Asda priced Quality Street tins at £4.50 or two 600g products for £8. The 813g tin also costs £10 in Asda. Aldi and Lidl are both charging £4.49 for a 600g tub.

Morrisons and B&M are selling Quality Street tubs for £5.
