Big supermarket selling 99p packs of ice creams including Magnum and Cornetto just in time for sunny weather
A MAJOR supermarket is selling packs of Magnum and Cornetto ice creams for just 99p.
The drop in price comes as the UK is set to enjoy one of the sunniest weekends this year.
Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted that Farmyards have slashed the prices of some of their most popular ice creams.
Magnum’s Mini Double Gold Caramel Billionaire 6 packs are included in their 99p range, as well as Cornetto Soft Stracciatella and Caramel ice creams.
Even vegan ice creams are included in the 99p range, with vegan Magnum’s Chill going on sale at Farmyards.
The cheap ice creams were spotted by a shopper who shared the news on a Facebook page named Bargain Lovers.
One social media user said: “Wish I had one near me they are incredible prices!”
Another raved: “Some good bargains.”
The UK is set to experience highs of 22C today and over the weekend, making it hotter than Algarve and Los Angeles.
Meteorologists have warned that temperatures are “nearer to what we’d expect in July”, as the seasonal average for April is normally 12C.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Temperatures (on Thursday) have been nearer to what we’d expect in July in some inland and western areas, but conversely a chilly easterly breeze has kept many eastern coastal regions much colder.”
Brits have also been warned not to use barbecues over the weekend, due to the risk that it could start devastating wildfires.
The warning extends to cooking in open spaces or on balconies.
London Fire Brigade assistant commissioner Paul McCourt warned: “We want everyone to enjoy the sunshine but we urge people to take the necessary precautions to stay safe and help prevent a grass fire from starting.
“Recent events in Los Angeles and South Korea have demonstrated how rapidly fires can spread outdoors, even when temperatures are not at their highest.
“The Met Office has issued an amber wildfire warning, covering London, and this will be in place for the rest of the week.
“As the weather warms up and we head towards Friday and the weekend, we would urge Londoners not to have barbecues in open spaces or on balconies, including disposable barbecues, to throw rubbish away, and to dispose of cigarettes carefully to avoid inadvertently starting a fire.
“We’re also working closely with partners, such as local authorities, to help manage the risks in outdoor spaces and ensure the public are following the safety advice.”
A wildfire tore through Kilpatrick Hills in Glasgow, in March 2025, leaving huge swathes of the area devastated.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were able to control the fire, but experts are concerned that a BBQ could kickstart another fire somewhere in the UK.
