Tesco has reduced Christmas chocolates including Nestle, Reese’s and Swizzles and prices start at 25p

BARGAIN hunters can stock up on festive supplies at Tesco because the supermarket has reduced ranges of chocolates and sweets – and prices start at just 25p each.

The supermarket has already reduced prices on big brands including Swizzles, Reese’s and Nestle.

Tubes of sweets such as Rowntree’s Fruit Pastels, Smarties and Milkybar buttons are the cheapest treats on offer in the Tesco sale.

They now cost 25p each, down from £1, meaning that you can save 75p in the sale.

Cadbury Christmas Stocking selection boxes are also down to 38p each, even though they cost around £1.99 to start with.

Boxes of Glaxay Truffles and Maltesers Truffles have also been reduced to just £1.75, saving you £3.25, and tubs of Swizzels also cost £2 instead of £3.

Trays of 45 Ferrero Rocher have also been reduced to £3, from £10, while a tray of Reese’s peanut butter miniature cups have been reduced by £3 to £1.

Of course, scoffing more food may be the last thing on your mind but it could be a great way of getting ahead of next year’s shopping.

The deals have been spotted by bargain hunters in the Facebook group in stores up and down the country, including Weymouth and Thornbury, but they’re not available online.

This is because the sweets have been reduced to clear, meaning that the amount of stock available will vary depending on the store.

It also means that once a store has sold out of the chocs then they won’t be restocked.

It might be worth calling the store ahead to find out what treats are available to avoid disappointment. You can find your .

Sale shoppers began queuing outside stores at 5am on Boxing Day to cash in on the reduced prices.

Savvy customers will use the sales as an opportunity to stock up for next Christmas – Tesco has dropped prices from £8 to £1.50 – while one shopper bagged a £70 Nivea calendar for £10 in the Morrisons sale.

B&M has also reduced the price of Barratt’s retro sweets to £2.
