Shoppers are encouraged to get to their nearest store as soon as they can in time for Christmas.
There's a limited time to make the saving, with the offer on from the 20 to 23 December - meaning shoppers only have three days to grab a tub.
Plus they're not available online - only in-store.
As always shoppers are reminded to compare other prices at different supermarkets.

However, the refill bag costs just £5 (66p per 100g) at Asda - £1 less than 600g tubs.
The bags include an assortment of individually wrapped milk and dark chocolates, toffees, the famous Green Triangle and The Purple One.
You can purchase them in-store and online at all Asda supermarkets.
The same refill bags cost £5.50 for those with a Nectar card at Sainsbury's, or £6 for those without – the same price as the 600g tubs.
Large refill bags cost £6 for customers with a Clubcard at Tesco or £7 for those without.
Their 600g tubs cost £6 for all customers.

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.
