Tesco shoppers rush to pick up Cadbury chocolate multipacks for just 87p
CADBURY fans are being urged to rush to their local Tesco store after shoppers find multipacks with huge discounts.
For those who can't get enough chocolate after the Christmas period, Tesco has ensured that their customers can get a super deal to satisfy any cravings.
The supermarket chain is selling the Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bars Variety Treatsize Multipack for a fraction of the usual price.
Delighted shoppers eagerly shared the news on a Facebook page dedicated to bargains - .
One shopper seemingly cleared out the stock at their local Tesco sharing a picture of their counter covered in the multipacks.
But the reason for the sudden splurge on chocolate was revealed as they wrote in the status: "87p Tesco loads lots."

The Cadbury treat size multipacks are usually £3.50 at Tesco so it is clear why the shopper was so happy.
Sainsbury's currently offers them for £3.90 or £1.50 with Nectar while Morrisons sells the packs for £3.00 each.
The multipacks contain treatsized versions of the Chomp, Curly Wurly, Flakes, Fudge, and Twirl sweets.
"Looks really good! Wonder what the BBE date is," a bargain lover commented on the post.
The shopper said that they had a best-before date of February, still giving them plenty of time to enjoy the sweet treats.
But another shopper shared that they got an even better bargain with their packs having a best-before date of March.
A third added that they are "75p in a local shop near me."
"U will have to go," one Facebook user said as they tagged a loved one and gave strict orders.
But not everyone was as lucky with one disappointed shopper saying: "Nope ours has Easter eggs no savings."
However, shoppers who don't spot the deal at their local Tesco could find slashed prices on other chocolates at rival supermarkets.
Sainsbury's is selling huge bags of Quality Street and Celebrations for just £1.25.
Foodies who can't get enough of the festive chocolates will have to be quick to nab the bargain as stock is sure to fly off the shelves at that price.
One shopper who shared her bargain online revealed that she would use the chocolates for her Easter baskets rather than having them now or paying full price later in the year.
Meanwhile, Lidl has slashed the prices of a number of its chocolate treats with some scanning for just 20p.

Asda is also helping shoppers save money by selling boxes of Cadbury chocolates for just 50p.
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.
