Sainsbury's has dropped the price of Cadbury Freddo Chocolate bars to 10p for a limited time.
Cadbury is responsible for a range of chocolates including Boost, Crunchie, the classic Dairy Milk as well as Easter favourites Creme Eggs.
Arguably one of the most popular chocolates in its range is Freddos.
The price of Freddo chocolate bars always used to be 10p.
But over the years, due to inflation, the prices of Freddo chocolate have begun to increase.
The price of a Freddo in 2024 is 25p, but it has been as high as 36p in the past.

But now, as part of celebrations for 200 years of Cadbury, Sainsbury's has dropped the price of Freddos back to the "prehistoric price" of 10p, down from 25p.
However, there is a catch. To claim the 10p Freddo offer you must be a Nectar member.
If you aren't already a Nectar member, all you have to do is sign up online - which can be done via the website here.
You'll also have to be quick as the 10p Freddo offer for Nectar members will only run from April 17 to April 23.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
