B&M are offering chocolate fans a variety of rare sweet treats all in one box.
The Cadbury-themed Aussie Treat Box contains Fredos, Dairy Milk Chocolate, Twirl, Snickers Peanut Brownie and Scorched Peanut Butter Bar.
The Facebook post featuring the £5 treat-filled box garnered hundreds of likes and comments from fellow bargain hunters excited to grab B&M’s latest offering.
One user wrote: “I must get this box.”
“I need this,” commented another.
While a third shopper wrote: “These are sooooo good. Stocking filler for everyone sorted.”
However, some bargain hunters commented that they couldn’t locate the Aussie Treat Box at their local B&M
“Never seen these in ours,” cried one shopper.
Another added: “Didn’t see this today at our local one.”
It’s not guaranteed shoppers will find the chocolate box at their local branch, so it might be worth calling your local store ahead to avoid a wasted trip.
In any case, you should always shop around before buying something like this as you might find the same, or similar, item for less at another retailer.
You can use online price comparison sites like Price Spy and Trolley to see if a product you have found is the cheapest against others.
You can also use the Google Shopping/Product tab to do a quick scan of the internet.
Other ways to save money at B&M
One ex-B&M manager said the best time to visit your local store is first thing on a Wednesday.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new lines.

These are put on special buy products that have also been reduced in price.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
