CHOC fans are rushing to stock up after a major supermarket reduced tubs of Celebrations to only £2.98 in stores.
The deal was found at Asda, with one eagle-eyed shopper sharing their bargain find on social media.
Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook, the savvy customer revealed they’d picked up the 550g tubs of Celebrations for under £3.
The shopper wrote: “£2.98 in Asda, scanned at this price not labelled! Worth checking your store.”
The bargain hunter also added how she made sure to get a penny off with Asda’s rollback offer on the item.
A few shoppers replied to the Facebook post.
One wrote: “Yes, lots in Asda Haydon in Swindon.”
Another wrote: “They are £2.99 in ASDA Filton.”
A third chimed in: “They had loads in pill, Newport.”
Celebrations tubs usually retail for around £7, meaning shoppers are saving a sweet sum.
As always, deals like this can vary by store and may not be available everywhere — but it’s worth scanning at the till just in case.
Last month, Farmfoods dropped the price of Celebrations 550g tubs to just £2.99.

Two weeks ago, the 185g version of Celebrations was spotted at B&M for just 20p.
The item had been reduced from £3.15.
Elsewhere, shoppers have been racing to B&M after spotting Cadbury’s Daim Eggs back on shelves for just £1.50.

Recently, Morrisons slashed the price of a number of its big packs of Cadbury chocolates to just 87p.
The chocolates include Bitsa Wispa, Crunchie Rocks, Oreo Bites, and Cadbury Animals, all going for a fraction of their usual price.
The 110g bags of sweet treats usually range anywhere between £1.75 to £2 at the major supermarkets.
Remember to compare prices
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too.
How to save money at Asda
It’s worth signing up to the Asda Rewards scheme to save money at the supermarket.
The loyalty scheme, which is free to join, lets you earn Cashpot points by completing “missions” like hitting spending targets or buying products in certain categories.
You can also earn cashback by buying “star” products.
If you’re a regular shopper and often go for Asda’s premium lines, it’s worth taking on the “downshifting” challenge, too.
This means going for budget lines instead, which could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your shopping.
It’s worth joining specific Facebook groups where shoppers flag bargain deals they’ve found online or in-store.
Two worth checking are the Latest Deals Facebook Group and the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
The Sun revealed earlier this year the best time to score deals at Asda is once in the morning and again in the evening.
Look out for fresh produce like fruit and veg, often reduced to as low as 10p, especially during the morning reductions.
Check the reduced shelf throughout the day as different times can offer varying discounts.
