‘They used to be my favourite’ say B&M shoppers rushing to snap up discontinued Cadbury treat
SHOPPERS have rushed to buy a discontinued Cadbury treat in B&M.
The retro twin packs of Dairy Milk tubes appeared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
The post, which included a photograph of the sweets, read: "Spotted these in B&M. Only £1.25 each.
"Obviously had to grab a couple of them, perfect with a cuppa at night."
Shoppers struggled to curb their enthusiasm. One said: "Please get me some."
Another asked: "What are these, I need some."

A mum said: "Love Cadbury's choc, have to get them."
Another chimed in with: "Omg I remember these."
A shopper said: " I need."
One customer got a little carried away and said: " I thought they were Rolos.";
However, Cadbury's tubes are made of solid chocolate, unlike Rolos which have a soft centre.
The Sun has contacted Cadbury to see when the chocs were last available in the UK.
Elsewhere, the discounter has slashed the price of a "stunning" corner sofa set by a whopping £150.
A keen shopper spied the item in their local store and was thrilled at the price.
Posting the find to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, they said: "Down to £150 in B&M."
They shared a photo of their newly purchased garden set in its box.
Fellow bargain hunters were quick to comment on the post and make plans to head to their nearest B&M to bag one.
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 on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for 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.
HOW TO SAVE MONEY AT B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, so prices and stock will vary from store to store.
It's always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest B&M store using the locator tool on the website.

According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
