    Seems Asda have reduced all their selection boxes from £2 down to 50p, including Mars and Maltesers. Instore Only at the moment

    Taken from HUKD, better get in quick, seems some greedy people are clearing the shelves :mad:

  • I happened to be in there at 9.30 when they made an announcement. I took 4 to give as gifts and a few little chocolate bits but some people had a trolley full! Shelves were cleared within about 10 minutes!

  • Great stocking fillers. Shame people are so greedy!
    :wave:
  • Just back from Asda Kirkcaldy where the staff refused to sell them to me, they were clearing the shelves themselves, complained at desk only to be told that it was a pricing mistake and they should have been £2, yeah right........:mad:
    Waddle you do eh?
  • Liverpool Hunts Cross have them, not for long though as some people were walking out with half a trolley full!
    It's no pricing mistake, the sign showed £2 crossed out reduced to 50p.
    I was in the right place at the right time today for a change.

    Apparently it WAS/IS a pricing error!
    It's working in some stores and not others - something to do with the instore settings at the particular store. I have two fairly local to me - one has the reductions and one doesnt - apparently though they were not meant to go live until Boxing Day!! Someone made a booboo! lol

    Shelves pretty empty at the one that does have the offer on - as you can imagine some people were grabbing loads!
  • had these in asda derby (spondon) dont expect to find any it was crazy all went in 2mins lots of people with trolleys full !!!!
