ICELAND has slashed the price of ice cream based on an iconic discontinued Nestle chocolate bar.
Shoppers can pick up a 480ml tub of the Cadbury Caramilk ice cream online for £2 instead of £4.
The frozen food specialist has cut the price of the dessert, which tastes similar to the axed Nestle Caramac chocolate bar, by 50%.
Bear in mind if you do order the ice cream, your overall basket has to be worth £25 or more to qualify for home delivery, which costs £4.
This fee is waived if you spend £40 or more.
Iceland has also set a maximum purchase limit of 12 on the Caramilk ice cream.
Of course, whenever buying a product like this, always shop around to ensure you’re getting the best price, even if a retailer is offering it at a discounted price.
You can use price comparison websites like Trolley, Price Spy or Price Runner and have a quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab.
When we checked, out of the other major supermarkets, only Ocado was selling the Cadbury Caramilk ice cream.
But the online retailer is selling it for £4.25 – £2.25 more expensive than Iceland.
It’s not the first time Iceland has stocked a Cadbury product on its shelves keen to be snapped up by shoppers.
The retailer sent customers into a spin recently after rolling out Dairy Milk Strawberry Bites in stores.

Meanwhile, the retailer recently launched Carte D’Or Solero ice cream to shopper fanfare.
The pudding combines passion fruit and mango puree with vanilla ice cream.
It appears to no longer be on sale online, but shoppers can pick up a three-pack of Solero mini ice creams for £2.75.
