Forget spending £10 a pop – shoppers are racing to Home Bargains to nab 35 BARS of Dubai chocolate for under a fiver
IT’S the chocolate people have been so desperate to get their hands on that they’ve paid up to £10 for just one small bar.
But now savvy shoppers have figured out where they can go to get a whopping 35 bars of the pistachio-filled sweet treat – for less than a fiver.
Chelsea took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her epic find, as she posted a snap of the product she’d spotted in her local Home Bargains.
“Dubai chocolate, £4.99 – you get 35 mini bars!” she wrote.
And people desperate to get their hands on the sweet treat to try quickly flooded the comments section of the Facebook post to weigh in.
“Gonna have a pop in after work, I think!” one person wrote.
“Oh, I NEED!” another said.
“I was in Home Bargains earlier but they didn’t have any,” a third sighed.
“I will keep an eye out!”
But not everyone was going to race to their local discount store in a bid to nab one of the DUB bags.
“Cheap ingredients sold for a premium price,” one raged.
“Proof that people will buy anything that is advertised on TikTok – it’s just the next Prime!” another commented.
“What’s the big thing with Dubai chocolate?” a third questioned.
Others used the comments section to share their thoughts on the chocolates after they managed to get their hands on one of the 400g bags.
“My daughter just brought these home,” one wrote.
“They are quite nice!”
“Got some today, are actually really nice,” another agreed.
