750g tub of celebrations only £3 in my local spar so not sure if national checked on website and advises to check your local spar for deals seems a good deal since the Tesco one was two tubs for £7

Brilliant!!
A new British survey has revealed that 9 out of 10 people like Chocolates. The tenth lies

£6.99 in our local Spar - they were £5 the other day...

New deal tomorrow though Spar change their offers on a Thursday, maybe this branch is a little early...hopefully it'll be nationwide tomorrow..not a celebration fan personally but it's nice to have a tub for guests

I'm not reporting it again
The mods have allowed it to remain.

To what weight will these eventually reduce to before there is no need for a tub?

You'd think in 4 hours there would be some confirmation that this deal is valid. Yet nothing and it still stays live. Same with the last deal at tesco which never materialised..

21 Dec 161#23
I can assure you this is not a national deal or part of the 12 deals of Christmas. Probably store specific due to high stock.

Is that a shop for people on benefits? Then it should say in the title that the deal mostly applies to people from Birmingham...

Not a true comparison since Tesco deal was national and this so-called Spar one is probably in some corner of this country if you can find that particular one.
EveshamLad
21 Dec 16#31
Posted as a national deal by the OP
If it was local, one would expect at least a mention of the particular store it was found in.
It was the OP that referred to the Tesco deal in their blurb

21 Dec 16#32
At this price, the warehouse of the SPAR store I run would be swimming tubs.
Moderators refuse to expire, why?
jimmybo
21 Dec 161#33
The Tesco "Deal" could have been Galactic - It didn't exist
This deal appears to be local (from HUKD posting evidence) - so for HUKD voting purposes - it shouldn't exist
When this deal doesn't exist the comparison will be complete :wink:
The OP mentioned the Sunderland Spar as the source - so it should be in the deal title BEFORE voting takes place - otherwise all votes are null and void
EveshamLad
21 Dec 16#34
No idea why his one remains
This was the reason they gave for the Tesco deal
It was only after the OP of that one admitted it never existed was the deal taken off the deals board (having already bbecome hottest deal of the week)
The best part of 3000 SPAR stores in the U.K and they change the deal title to 'found in Sunderland branch'?! There's probably 5 in Sunderland alone.
Ridiculous.
EveshamLad
21 Dec 16#43
OP has just changed the title to indicate Sunderland branch, and changed the details to local ... now it's almost 1000 degrees
Edit: leehardacre noticed it the same time

Fortunately 4 of them all appear to be on or very close to the A183 and the other on a parallel road.
All are open until at least 10pm tonight (one is open 24hrs - a petrol station I think)
Perhaps a local HUKDer will soon be able to verify this deal now? :smiley:

21 Dec 163#47
I have no doubt the OP got one for £3. The issue is that this is simply not a national deal and is wasting everyone's time.
jimmybo
21 Dec 163#48
In 45 minutes this will become Today's Top Deal
How embarrassing - not for the OP who posted the deal in good faith - but for HUKD in the method of nonmoderation :disappointed:

Right so I have the photo if anyone can help me upload this that would be great thank you

Yes it is they also had the tubs of sweets with the Parma violets and sherbet dib dabs etc for £2.50 meant to be a fiver

So it is national afterall, or at least not just Sunderland
Voted HOT, HOT, HOT!

or maybe regional as the two posted from North East???

Hmm, not voting either way. Spar is a symbol group, just like Premier, Costcutter, Nisa, Lifestyle Express amongst others. Stores set their own prices based on who owns it. Think of Spar like a franchise business model. Can't honestly see such a deal rolled out to loads of stores.

Heads up guys!!
On Christmas Eve I'm gonna post this same deal for 99p....please put in your diary and don't forget to HEAT it up !!
Merry Christmas
EveshamLad
21 Dec 16#71
Nisa & Premier, as a couple of the examples you quote, do have the same prices across their stores particularly for special offers.
And this deal has now been found in two seperate Spar stores in two seperate towns. What more do you want?
preecey
21 Dec 16#72
My comment was meant to reflect the fact that larger chains that aren't franchised tend to offer nationwide consistency with regards to pricing, and that symbol groups tend to vary their prices greatly depending on the region you're in.
I'll certainly check for the offer in my local Spar tomorrow, but I will be doubtful I'll see it.

cold, cold cold - not another naff chocolate Christmas "deal"
CouldntThinkOfAUsername
22 Dec 16#77
Lol at the people crying because they couldn't save £2(?) on mediocre chocolate. The type of people that would spend £2 worth of fuel to get the deal, rather than pick one up at RRP when out.

All have to sell the "core" promotions at that price regardless of who owns. Yes it will be regional but in the UK our regions are literally N.Ireland and then Mainland UK (Scotland has some variations because of drink laws). Other stores within those regions may have extra promotions on top of those core promotions for arranging bulk buying or not using stock appreciation and keeping some promotions on for longer. Most stores are now company owned which centrally maintained pricing, the larger format stores branded "Eurospar" will be cheaper than most normal stores as they also price match Tesco on core product lines.
Tesco 2 for £7 only was on the celebrations and when Spar N.Ireland ran the 2 for £7 as part of our 12 deals of Christmas it included the Hero's and Roses.

"Swimming Tubs" on top of all those Easter lines in store lol. Been sending out Easter pre-release wave past two/three weeks to stores in N.Ire.

At the food bank where I sometimes volunteer things like chocolates are often donated and being as there's no distribution rule for things like that we just add boxes or bags to each package as its made up for each person. This year donations of treats has been huge so we were giving out to each person a box of mince pies, a few selection boxes, a chocolate orange or a box of shortbread. Or if we saw something we fancied ourself we'd just take them home.

Well that's one way to get people to stop donating lol

That's terrible to steal from a charity - shame on you.
Henderson's who own spar in northern Ireland are hypocrites. They won't sell scratch cards or lottery tickets but will sell booze & fags. Christians my ass, good living for a living.

They do not sell booze nor handle any alcohol at the DC (In fact not even allowed to help M&S guys because totes may contain alcohol) nor in any company owned stores.

Of course it's a joke. It's got a build up and everything. And I do volunteer and yesterday we gave out masses of extras. There were loads of gifts of toys, too, so families that came in with kids we'd get a parent to go in and take what they wanted and made up a bag with them so they could take them home without the kids knowing. One woman was crying her eyes out because she didn't have anything for the kids before that and was dreading Christmas day.
