Retail convenience business One Stop has branches all over the UK which all have the chocolate treat on offer.
The week-long offer is on from December 18 to 24 so will certainly sweeten the run-up to Christmas.
Usually the product is priced at £1.75 but now it has been reduced by more than 42 per cent.
The deal, released on bargain hunter website hotdealsuk.com, attracted a set of comments thanking whoever spotted it.
One read: “Well worth the small wait.”
Another responded: “Thanks for the heads up!”
One Stop has over 1,000 stores across the country shoppers and
Terry fans can find their local store at www.onestop.co.uk/store-finder/ to get their hands on the discounted chocolate.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange isn’t the only desert with a discount, with the Toffee Crunch, Mint, and All Milk flavours available for a pound as well.
Each chocolate weight from 145g to 157g so is a fair chunk of chocolate for price.
Terry’s Chocolate Mint was describe on the Tesco website as “the moreishly minty sibling our orange Christmas classic has always wanted.”
It has ditched the iconic orange and gone for a cooler taste instead, witch shoppers quick to compliment the new taste.
However when the beloved chocolate manufacturers released the latest flavour, it divided opinions.
The new All Milk flavour is a simple milk chocolate, but presented in the famous “chocolate orange” packaging and shape.
Some were thrilled that they were getting plain chocolate version, as the there had been more than 20 different versions prior.
Terry’s orange-haters took to social media to celebrate that they could get in on the action without facing fruit flavoured chocolate.
Other sweet treat fanatics were left confused as to the point of the new addition.
With Terry’s being associated with it’s iconic orange brand, many said they would simply stick to the original.
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.
