FARMFOODS is selling a limited edition chocolate that is a twist on a classic for just 49p.
Eagle-eyed shoppers were pleased to see Fry’s Turkish Delight Orange marked down to just a few pennies.

The treat, which is a citrus twist on the classic floral tasting chocolate, was first spotted in stores last summer – causing quite a stir.
As it was a limited edition product, it was not around for long, but customers were typically charged around £1.50 to get their hands on it.
But now the fruity flavoured chocolate has appeared on Farmfood shelves at a bargain price.
News of its return was shared on the HotUKDeals website page, with many shoppers praising the deal.
One shopper said that the snack was “surprisingly good,” while another said they tasted “so nice“.
However some were not so impressed, with one commentator adding: “Tell me you made something even worse without telling me you made something even worse.”
The divisive snack will only be available to shop in one of its stores as Farmfoods does not have an online offering.
With that in mind, it may be worth ringing up your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

The bargain store, which has 300 branches across the UK, has become a haven for shoppers to find rare chocolate at a low price.
Shoppers were met with a blast from the past when they spotted Galaxy Flutes on sale at Farmfoods earlier this week.
The 22.5g crispy wafer roll, packed with smooth vanilla cream and coated in Galaxy’s signature silky milk chocolate, is selling for 39p each or 3 for £1.
The treats are similar to the Milky Way Crispy Rolls which returned last month after it was discontinued three years ago.
It appears that the last time the chocolate was displayed on shelves was 2012.
RARE CHOCOLATE BACK ON SHELVES
It’s not the first time shoppers have been rushing to their nearest store to pick up rare chocolate.
B&M shopper were shocked to see Perky Nanas, usually only seen in New Zeland, are now being sold at the discount store for just £1.
The soft banana-flavoured 45g chew bar comes covered with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.
The retailer also sparked excitement among chocaholics last year after bringing back Cadbury Fuse Mini Treats.
Sweet-toothed customers were quick to post the find on Facebook after realising it was a rehash of the full bar sold in the mid-2000s.
In July, Nestle brought back the iconic Caramac bar in three forms after axing the chocolate the previous November.
The chocolatier said it had taken the “difficult decision” to drop the sweet snack due to low sales.
Elsewhere, shoppers were shocked to see the Dairy Milk Marble bar back on B&M shelves last month.
It features milk chocolate and white chocolate blended together and filled with a hazelnut praline centre.
The Dairy Milk variation continued to be sold in Australia after it was axed in the UK, so this appears to be an import.
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.
