Divisive Celebrations flavour scanning for £3.50 instead of £7 at major supermarket

A DIVISIVE Celebrations flavour is scanning for £3.50 instead of £7 at a major supermarket. With Christmas Day well and truly over, retailers often slash the price of festive treats to shift stock. And Tesco has done just that, slashing the price of its 360g Bounty Gift Box to just a few quid.

A sign also reads that the sweets are reduced to clear, so once they are gone, it is unlikely they will be restocked. Some shoppers were unimpressed with the controversial snack, with one writing on social media that it should be given away "for free".
The coconut-flavoured chocolate is featured in the iconic Celebrations tubs, and Mars has also branched out to sell single boxes of the chocolate. The Bounty-only tub divided fans when it was launched by Mars last year. One user said “No thank you” while another declared the tubs “a box of wrong”.
It comes despite Mars telling The Sun that the boxes would not be returning to stores this Christmas. A spokesperson for Mars previously told The Sun: “While Bounty-only Celebrations tubs will not be returning to shelves this Christmas, Bounty fans can rest assured that their favourite coconut treat can be found in our classic Celebrations tubs - alongside all your other favourites!”.
Sometimes supermarkets sell excess stock from past seasons, so shoppers need to be quick to get their hands on it. But for those keen to check out the bargain, you will have to shop the deal in-store as it does not appear to be available online. It may also be worth ringing your local branch ahead of your next visit to avoid disappointment as the deal may not allow you to shop at your local branch.
