THE price of a popular Quality Street chocolate has been slashed in price to just 22p at a major supermarket.

Eagle-eyed shoppers at the Supermarket Deals & Offers, Local Shops and Services Facebook group spotted the deal and were quick to share on social media.
Shoppers were quick to chime in and share their excitement over the deal, with one joking they needed “half a dozen boxes”.
Another person said they “would buy all of them,” while a third moaned that they “never get these bargains” when they go shopping.
The Quality Street branded chocolate sticks, made by Nestle, are sold all year round but are loved by many as a festive treat at Christmas.
The treat comes in a range of flavours including Cool Mint and Honeycomb.
Morrisons usually sell the chocolate for £1.50, so this offers a saving of £1.28.
The deal does not appear to be available online so you may have to visit your nearest branch for a chance to secure the offer.
You can find your nearest by visiting /my.morrisons.com/storefinder/.
If you are planning a trip it may be worth ringing your local Morrisons ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
It comes as shoppers have spotted a number of festive chocolates slashed in price in recent days.
Aldi has cut the cost of 300g pouches of Quality Street from £1.99 to an incredible 49p.
Shoppers will need to be quick to bag the cheap chocolate as they’re only available in-store.
If you don’t know where your nearest branch is, you can use Aldi’s store locator by visiting stores.aldi.co.uk/store-finder.
And Aldi and Morrisons are not the only supermarkets to have slashed the price of Quality Street in recent weeks.

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.
