SHOPPERS are rushing to a major supermarket to get their hands on a new Aero flavour for just 99p.
The chocolate bars are being flogged by FarmFoods across the country.
Whilst the classic Aero chocolate and peppermint are a solid favourite in most households, the new Choco Hazelnut flavour is expected to be a huge hit with fans.
But, if that doesn’t get the taste buds tingling, the nutty variety isn’t the only 99p Aero on offer.
Customers can also scoop the original flavours as well as coconut and orange for the bargain price.
The deal was shared on HotUkDeals, where one savvy shopper said: “Well worth it at 99p a bar”.
Another pointed out that in some stores, the coconut flavour is even cheaper after they picked one up for just 69p in their local branch.
Just last month, Nestle sent shoppers into a frenzy after launching a Choco Caramel flavoured Aero.
It’s selling for £4 for 295g with a Clubcard at Tesco, or £5 without – so not quite the FarmFoods price, but you get more for your money.
The post was shared in the Food Finds UK Facebook group, causing a stir amongst the chocoholics.
The group helps others track new food items down.
Some limited-edition treats have been known to sell out fast, so the group is invaluable to those desperate for the new products.
The brand has previously launched special editions such as Aero Strawberry and Aero Caramel.
Cadbury raised eyebrows recently after it announced a controversial change to its much-loved Heroes chocolates.
By the end of this month, the festive favourite tubs will have a new look.
This limited-time move will see approximately 300,000 Heroes tubs launched in paper containers rather than the traditional tins.
The controversial release will be trialled at select Tesco stores across the country.
And the shake-up is also expected to include a Cadbury’s treat which has never been seen in the tubs before.
There are many ways to shop around cheap when buying chocolate products.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.

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.
