Tesco lowers the price of Quality Street to £2.95: how to get the discount.

Price drop on Quality Street at Tesco

According to The Sun: The large supermarket announced a significant price drop on Quality Street tubes – they now cost just £2.95.

Quality Street tubes are sold for just £2.95 at Tesco

Tesco has lowered the price of these popular tubes to allow customers to stock up on sweets ahead of Christmas.

This offer is only available to Clubcard holders, while others will pay £7 for the tube.

You can sign up for Tesco's loyalty program for free, which allows you to accumulate points for discounts and special promotions.

This discount is being discussed in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, where shoppers praise such a find.

One commenter jokingly noted that 'there's no chance' the chocolates will be left uneaten by Christmas, while another added that they 'need' to buy a tube.

Tube sizes and time to think

The tubes available at Tesco weigh 600g, which is a unique offer, as the manufacturer Nestle has reduced the size to 550g. The new purple tubes currently contain about 57 chocolates instead of 63.

“Every year we introduce a new line of Quality Street with shapes, sizes, weights, and recommended retail prices, considering various factors including production costs, ingredients, transport, as well as the preferences of our customers and consumers,”

– noted a Nestlé representative last week.

Larger tubes sold out quickly on the Tesco website, so to take advantage of this tempting offer, you'll likely need to visit a physical store.

It is recommended to call your local supermarket to find out about the availability of the discount.

Price comparison in supermarkets

The new 550g tubes are available for £4.95 for Clubcard holders, while for other shoppers, the price will be £7.

When looking for Christmas chocolate, it's important to check prices and not miss out on a better deal in other supermarkets.

Sainsbury's no longer sells 600g Quality Street tubes, but shoppers can purchase 550g for £7.

Asda sells the new smaller size for £4.68, while Morrisons has set the price at £7.

Anticipating Christmas

These aren't the only festive treats you can find on supermarket shelves. For example, Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Mint Crisp chocolate has reappeared on the shelves, which is very popular with consumers.

This limited edition weighs 360g and costs just £4.50.

Additionally, shoppers are excited about a small artificial Christmas tree measuring 1 foot tall, sold for £3 at B&Q.

Many have left enthusiastic reviews about this tree, describing it as 'the perfect little Christmas tree for the table'. Those wanting to purchase this tree should be aware that it needs to be picked up at one of the 300 B&Q stores or ordered online.

How to save on chocolate

We all love chocolate, but you shouldn't spend a lot of money on your favorite treat.

Consumer economics reporter Sam Walker shares tips on how to cut costs...

• Choose own brands – if taste isn’t a concern and you just want to satisfy your chocolate craving, selecting supermarket own brands can help you save.
• Compare prices – if you've found your favorite brand in one supermarket, check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
• Websites like Trolley.co.uk allow you to compare prices for products across all major chains, so you can find the best deal.
• Look for yellow labels – supermarket staff mark products with yellow (sometimes orange or red) labels to show discounts.
• This is usually done if the product is nearing its expiry date or the packaging is damaged.
• Buy larger bars – typically chocolate is more expensive per 100g if it’s smaller, so if you have an appetite and plan to buy a lot of chocolate, it’s better to choose a larger bar.

Similar promotions on popular sweets like Quality Street always generate excitement among shoppers, as they offer the chance to save on favorite products ahead of the holidays. The price drop at Tesco and lively discussions on social media indicate high consumer interest in these products amidst pre-holiday shopping. Every major supermarket is trying to find ways to attract customers by offering attractive deals, so it's worth staying informed and taking advantage of savings opportunities.
