Shoppers have been left horrified at how much it costs for a small amount of Christmas-themed chocolate.

Glenn Kennedy runs a Facebook group online where he and other people share the best supermarket deals and finds.

The Mancunian recently took a trip to Asda and Poundland, with fellow bargain hunters left stunned at his discoveries.

At Poundland, Glenn noticed a variety of festive treats already for sale, including Malteasers, Haribo and Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

However, despite its name, the retailer is selling just two out of 21 items for £1.

The rest are sold at higher prices.

Tracey wrote: “Just one question: why is this shop still called Poundland when most of their products are £1.50 upwards. Not as good as it used to be.”

Julie said: “Only 2 things on all those shelves that are a pound.”

“Popped in to Poundland for the first time in ages last week. Won’t be going again, it’s got so expensive. Better deals elsewhere,” commented Sharon.

Alec added: “Was £1.00 now £1.50.

“But are they a pound,” questioned Alison.

“They’ll reduce them down to their usual price of £1 to £1.50 to try to make everyone think they are getting a bargain,” Carol commented.

Jam Press contacted Poundland for comment, and a spokesperson for the chain said: “Bah Humbug – that’s just one small display with some of our best savings versus prices elsewhere.

“There are almost 50 Xmas items at £1 or below in our full Xmas confectionery range plus a market-leading 2 for £2.50 on 15 different kinds of tubes.

“That’s why Santa’s going to be filling his boots this year at Poundland.”

Meanwhile, at Asda, Glenn noticed a Cadbury Christmas selection box priced at £3.50 for just 78g of chocolate.

The box contains four miniature bars – including a Curly Wurly, Chomp, Freddo and a bar of Fudge, as well as a mini bag of Cadbury Buttons.

Captioning the video, he wrote: “This has got to be a mistake. £3.50 for 78g of Cadbury chocolate. It’s clear on the price ticket.”

Julie wrote: “Selection boxes have always been a rip off. I filled a gift box full of assorted bars, got twice the chocolate and a fancy box, all from Home Bargains for the same price.”

Gary added: “Nobody in their right mind is going to fork out £3.50 for a mere 78g.”

“Oh my God. I’d rather buy a bar of chocolate than that. You are paying for the packaging,” Brigid said.

However, as it turns out, the price was indeed a mistake.

Jam Press contacted Asda, who advised the item had been wrongly labelled and is actually priced at £1.25.

But it’s still not much of a deal.

The supermarket has priced each of the individual bars at 30p on its website.

So you could get the same four treats for £1.20 if you bought them without the box – though you’d get the Cadbury’s chocolate buttons as an extra treat on top.
