Home Bargains shoppers are going wild for ‘best’ ingredient for homemade pumpkin spice latte – and you could save £3
HOME Bargains shoppers are going wild for the "best" ingredient for a homemade pumpkin spice latte which could save you up to £3.
Halloween season is nearly upon us and shoppers will be flocking to pick up themed drinks to keep them warm.
That includes the pumpkin spice latte, which Greggs and Starbucks have launched their own versions of.
But you might be able to make your own and save some money in the process.
Home Bargains is selling 250ml Sereno syrup for £1.19 while Greggs' smallest pumpkin spice latte size is £2.40 and Starbucks' is £4.20.
That means you could save up to £3 by buying Home Bargains' syrup rather than heading out to Greggs or Starbucks.

Of course, this doesn't factor in the cost of the coffee and milk, but that should only set you back a few pennies if you're making it yourself.
One shopper recently took to the page sharing an image of the Sereno syrup they bought in their local branch.
They said: "Home Bargains! Make your own at home."
The post has been liked dozens of times, with plenty commenting too.

One said: "Best coffee syrups I've ever tasted.
"You need to try the toffee, vanilla and hazelnut OMG."
Meanwhile, a second said: "I need this. I've had a pumpkin spice latte today and it was lush."
A third said: ";I use these syrups all the time so good," and a fourth added: "Running to Home Bargain (sic) first thing."
Of course, you should always shop around when buying something like this.
Just because Home Bargains is selling it for £1.19, that doesn't mean you can't get the same product cheaper elsewhere.
You can use price comparison sites such as Trolley, Price Runner and Price Spy to compare thousands of products.
In this case, you can't get the exact same product anywhere else as it's only stocked in Home Bargains though.
Also bear in mind, you can't buy the syrup off Home Bargains' website so will have to head to your nearest store.
You can find your nearest store by using the retailer's branch locator on its website.
