A MAJOR discount retailer has sent sweet lovers into a frenzy with an epic deal just in time for Easter.
Is your secret stash of treats running low? Or perhaps you’re looking for an alternative to an Easter egg this holiday.
Then you may wish to plan a trip to Home Bargains where money-smart customers have found the cult favourite Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups going for a bargain price.
But it’s not so much the incredible price shoppers have been raving about – it’s the jaw-dropping size of the bag.
The discount store is selling the popular treat in bags of 1kg.
Most supermarkets offer significantly smaller pouches of the viral chocolate, with the average weight being just 185g.
This amount will set you back £3.50 at Sainsbury’s, while a 90g pouch will cost you £2 at Waitrose.
Meanwhile, Home Bargains have added the epic 1kg bag of the popular peanut butter cups to their shelves for just £3.99 – so, it really is a no-brainer.
Informing others about the epic deal, one thrifty shopper took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
”Spotted today in Banbury Home Bargains …£3.99 for a 1kg bag!” Louise Bailey wrote in her post.
While the bite-size treats come in the same signature wrapping, the mega plastic bag is clear – which appears to be the only difference, apart from the price.
Since being shared online, the news has already taken the internet by storm, with over 270 members giving the post a like and a further 471 racing to the comments.

”Look at the size of that bag,” the person couldn’t believe the offer.
Another joked: ”I’d eat that in 2 days, I must not buy it.”
Meanwhile, someone else said it was their ”idea of heaven”.
”Well that’s me walking down there in the morning!” one foodie shared.
Viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ for 93% cheaper
Foodies are also rushing to Home Bargains to get their hands on the latest Dubai-style chocolate treat – for a fraction of the usual price.
The retailer’s version of the chocolate bar is cake-filled, offering a twist on the viral knafeh and pistachio filling.
Bargain hunters were shocked when they saw the product listed on shelves for just £1.50.
Dubai bars typically sell for around £20 more on sites such as eBay — meaning you could nab them for a tiny fraction of the price at Home Bargains.
The treat claims on its wrapper to have “premium rice and pistachio in every bite.”
It whipped up a storm on the Bargain Lovers and Deals Facebook page, with one person commenting “wow” and another saying “I need to try it”.
Dubai chocolate has surged in popularity since 2021, attracting hundreds of thousands of views on social media.
For example, a video by TikTok user CheyanneKerr who went hunting around stores for the viral chocolate received over 50,000 likes.
Sweet-lovers who are keen to get their hands on the dupe will have to hunt the shelves of their local Home Bargains – as it is not currently visible on the website.
