Chocolate fans are racing to a major supermarket to snap up £3.50 treats for 50p – and they’re grabbing THIRTY at a time
A MAJOR supermarket has sent foodies into a frenzy after slashing the price of chocolate to just pennies in a major sale.
The festive season may be over - but that doesn't mean that we're sick of eating treats just yet, and if your secret stash is running low then you might want to check out this epic deal.
According to thrifty shoppers, bargain-mad customers can now get their hands on posh dairy-free chocolate for pennies - and the offer is totally worth skipping your New Year's resolutions.
Informing others about the epic find, one woman, Kayleigh Layfield, took to Facebook to share the sweet deal she had come across.
''Amazing offers on Nomo chocolate in Sainsbury’s,'' the young lass, from Great Yarmouth, wrote in the post.
Cash-savvy foodies can snap up the plant-powered chocolate for a mere 50p down from an eye-watering £4.50 for the Cookie Dough flavour.

The mouth-watering treat is a non-dairy alternative to milk filled with a cookie dough flavour centre containing rice cereal and cocoa pieces - the perfect pick-me-up for cookie dough fans and anyone who enjoys a sweet indulgent treat
With dozens of gleaming reviews, it's easy to see why this vegan-friendly chocolate has become all the rage amongst foodies who've rated it with five stars.
''Amazing!! They are the best thing since sliced bread!! I can’t believe I can eat something like this again as I’m unable to eat pretty much all chocolate sold in stores!'' wrote one happy customer.
Another agreed, adding: ''These are definitely the best flavour chocolate bar that NOMO has done by far. Really delicious.''
''Love it best chocolate bar I’ve tasted that doesn’t have dairy in it,'' a third wrote positive feedback on the brand's website.
Another treat that's been slashed by more than half price from £3.50 down to just 50p is Nomo's Creamy Choc which is said to be a plant-powered alternative to regular milk chocolate.
Also free from gluten and ideal for those with a nut allergy, these scrumptious chocolate bars don't have a ''horrible aftertaste like some brands'', fans have said.
''Not too sweet, perfect chocolate, creamy and best of all.... Affordable,'' wrote one person
''Offered a piece to my friend who was noticeably surprised as she'd expected it to taste awful (I think it's tastier than normal chocolate, her face tells me she agreed).''
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.
''Amazing chocolate bar, perfect for kids or eat self with cup of coffee,'' a mum chimed in.
Sharing the special promotion, Kayleigh added in the post: ''Cookie dough supposed to be £4.50 scanned at 50p and creamy chocolate supposed to be £3.50 scanned at 50p, dated until November 2025!''
However, if you want to treat yourself to this epic deal, you will have to be quick, as it's sure to sell out - especially after some customers bagged a total of a whopping 30 bars in one go.
