Cheap selection boxes
Although we’re not even in November yet, Tesco is starting a deal on selection boxes.
They are selling chocolates really cheap including tubs of:
While the tubs are popping up in supermarkets already, discounts usually don’t start until a bit closer to the festive period.
However, this year, Tesco is offering big discounts on the big selection boxes from Wednesday 31 October (get your spook on!)
They are offering a multi-buy to get two tubs for £7.
The big selection boxes usually sell for £5 each, so it’s a decent saving.
The deal was first shared on HotUKDeals.
You can pick them up in Sainsbury’s and Asda for £4 a tub, but the Tesco discount will still see you saving the pennies!
If you don’t think you can save yourself until Christmas, the selection boxes will be great to give out for any calling trick and treaters and will be much better value than buying smaller selection packs or “fun” boxes.
The offer will be running until 6 November, but you just need to hold your nerve and hide them somewhere, so you don’t eat them all in one weekend 😱
Other offers
As it gets closer to the end of the year, there will no doubt be more offers shared.
Morrison’s has previously reduced the tubs with the same deal and, a few years back, the wholesaler Makro sold the tubs for just £2.50 each!
