Shoppers rush to Home Bargains to buy new £1.99 Christmas sweet that’s ‘perfect for hot chocolate’

SHOPPERS are rushing to Home Bargains to buy new £1.99 Christmas sweet that's "perfect for hot chocolate".

The bargain retailer is selling peppermint flavour candy cane-style spoons.

Costing just £1.99 shoppers are raving about the treat on Facebook.

One person posted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group and said: "One for the hot chocolate lovers."

"It's hot chocolate station season," said another shopper in response to the original post.

A third shopper said: "I need the spoons now."

The box of sweets comes with six spoons which are pretty big in size.

But they're only available in-store and you won't be able to pick them up online, unfortunately.

You can find your nearest Home Bargains shop using the handy locator tool on the chain's website.

As always, we do always recommend having a look around for cheaper options to make sure you're getting the most for your money.

After a quick Google we found some alternatives that weren't quite as cheap.

Shoppers can bag similar spoons from eBay for £6.99 and Amazon sells them too.

However, if you do buy them from Amazon you'll have to fork out £14.40 - a whole £12.41 more expensive than the Home Bargains sweets.

But it's still worth having a look around first to make sure we haven't missed an even better offer - there's never a bad time to bag a bargain.

How can I save money at Home Bargains?

Home Bargains stocks plenty of everyday household products at already low prices, but every now and then it will slash costs with special "star buys" and limited-time sales.

Plus, the store has its own range of products that look strikingly familiar to rivals' more pricey options.

That means bagging a Home Bargains dupe is a good way to make your wallet happy too.

But remember that it's only a deal if you were planning on buying anyway.

You shouldn't buy something just because it's a bargain price, or discounted, otherwise, you might go over budget.
