Among the sweets included in the 650g tubs are Drumstick Squishies, Refreshers, Fruity Pops, Love Hearts, Fizzers and Double Lollies.
And, at B&M the price of this huge tub has been reduced from £2.50 to just £1, a reduction of 60%.
Online reviews of the Swizzels’ tubs include: “All the classic and favourites were in there. Tub was full! Happy days!”
Another shopper said: “Would definitely recommend for retro sweetie lovers.”
A third added: “It still has the same taste and size.”
The same tub of sweets is currently being sold for £5 via Ocado and at a similar price via sellers on Amazon.
The £1 deal is only available in B&M stores while stocks last.
Its always worth researching prices across different retailers to make sure you’re getting the best value for money.
Websites like PriceSpy and trolley.co.uk and even a quick scroll on Google Shopping can help you make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.
B&M is known for its deals on sweets and regularly offers items rarely seen in the UK at competitive prices.
Just this week shoppers spotted the Cadbury Dairy Milk Slices Shortcake Biscuit chocolate bar in B&M stores, despite the bar usually only being available in Australia.
Other recent Aussie finds have included a raspberry smash flavour Mars Bar and a Peppermint Dairy Milk bar.
A Honeycomb Sunday Swirl Twirl also hit shelves in early March, gaining tons of traction online.
And a healthy Pinky Chocolate bar, also only typically available in Australia, was snatched up by UK punters in July last year.
Other international treats which have hit B&M shelves include chocolate from India and Brazil.
To find out which exclusive chocolates are hitting B&M, it helps to join local Facebook Groups, or snack-hunting ones like Food Finds UK.

If you can’t find it in your local store, bear in mind that stocks may not be the same everywhere, so ask a member of staff or call ahead.
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.
