A MAJOR supermarket has slashed the price of Quality Street to just 49p this week.

Aldi has cut the cost of 300g pouches of the popular festive chocolates, dropping them from £1.99 to an incredible 49p.

Posting the find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook Group, one shopper said: “Still a fair few quality street pouches left in Chichester Aldi.”

Another shopper reacting to the find said: “Lovely bargain. Yum yum!”

A third shopper said: “I paid £1.99 on Tuesday gutted…”

A fourth added: “Not had any in ours for months.”

Shoppers will need to be quick to bag the cheap chocolate as they’re only available in-store.

If you don’t know where your nearest branch is, you can use Aldi’s store locator by visiting stores.aldi.co.uk/store-finder.

You just have to enter your town or postcode and it will bring up the closest store to you.

Aldi isn’t the only supermarket to have slashed the price of Quality Street in recent weeks.

To celebrate 30 years of rewards with Tesco Clubcard, the grocer has cut prices across loads of customer favourites – including the Nestle bestseller.

Tesco cut the cost of the famous hexagonal tubs to just £3.95.

The huge discount on the 600g Quality Street tubs is only available with a Clubcard.

For non-Clubcard holders, the price tag is the usual £6.

One shopper shared a photo of an in-store tower of the chocolate boxes on Foods Find UK Official Facebook page.

Despite the huge saving, customers were not impressed – with one calling them “bloody awful”.

“Thought they would of had great offers for 30 years! Not left over Christmas stock selling it higher than before Christmas!” one grumbled.

“They can’t give them away,” wrote another.

“They are only worth a pound half empty,” echoed a third.

Other Quality Street news

Nestlé recently faced criticism after being accused of shrinking the size of the iconic Purple One chocolate.

The maker of Quality Street later confirmed it had reduced the size of the much-loved hazelnut-filled treat by over 10%, igniting outrage among loyal customers.

Nestlé previously stirred controversy by altering the iconic Brazil nut-shaped design of the caramel treat, replacing it with a circular swirl.

However, fans also picked up on a change in size, with one even weighing both versions to calculate the extent of the “shrinkflation.”

Originally, the chocolate weighed 9.6 grams, but this year’s version tipped the scales at just 8.4 grams—a reduction of 12 per cent.

Quality Street lover Rebecca Gracey said online: “Half of the appeal of Quality Street is/was aesthetic.

“Changing the shape and size of much loved favourites is sacrilege.

“I’ve never forgiven Nestle for changing the diamond of fudge into a most uninteresting shape.

“However, the final straw was changing the shiny cellophane and foil wrappers to dull waxed paper.

“I have not purchased them since that abomination.”

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.

WHILE temperatures might be rising, wet weather means that hanging our clothes on the washing line isn’t an option for many of us. 

However, drying clothes inside can seem like an expensive option as many of us will reach for the thermostat to get our garments drier quicker.

But, Adam Clark at My Local Toolbox says there are ways to get your laundry dry without the help of a radiator.

Here he reveals five ways to dry your clothes faster without turning up the heating.

Rectify the Damp

Damp walls increase clothes’ drying time as the room’s humidity level is heightened.

When walls are damp, they release additional moisture into the air, reducing the difference between the moisture content of the fabric and the surrounding air. 

This slows down the evaporation process.

Areas with damp walls often have poor ventilation, which can trap moisture in the space. This can lower the temperature of the surrounding air, which in turn reduces evaporation time.

If the weather permits, open the windows to improve ventilation. A dehumidifier will extract water from the air and speed up the drying process.

Avoid hanging clothes near damp walls; choose areas with better air circulation and drier surfaces for hanging laundry.

By permanently rectifying the damp and you can create an environment more conducive to drying clothes efficiently.

Get Ahead of the Drying Process

You can increase the speed at which your clothes dry before leaving the washing machine. Most washing machines include a functionality that allows users to adjust spin cycles. 

Opting for a high-speed spin means excess water is extracted from the clothes. 

Although this may make clothes feel slightly rigid, drying time is often halved. If you wash delicate fabrics, a second spin cycle may be a better option, as a faster spin may harm sensitive fabrics.

DIY (Drying) Station

Drying clothes requires good airflow throughout the space, whether winter or summer. Avoid draping clothes across radiators and set up a drying station that encourages consistent air circulation.

Place a fan near the space where you are drying the clothes. This will ensure that air circulates evenly around the room.

For an even faster drying time, use a dehumidifier to decrease the moisture in the air while increasing circulation.

Roll Clothes in a Towel Before Drying

The towel method requires a person to place a towel on a flat surface with the garment on top. 

Roll the towel tightly with the clothes inside and gently press so that the water absorbs into the towel. Then, hang your clothes as usual. Avoid using dark towels with light clothing as colour may transfer.

Leave Some Space

It can be tempting to overpack your drying rack to save space. This will likely increase the drying time, especially if you have overlapped each garment on the airer.

Turning the clothes inside out before placing them in the airer often makes them dry faster.
