Shoppers are going wild for the new Mr Kipling treat they ‘need’, inspired by Battenberg
TESCO shoppers are going wild over a new Mr Kipling treat that has just been launched in stores.
The supermarket sells the Mr Kipling treat, a strawberry cake inspired by Battenberg.
It’s a new sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry-flavored jam.
An excited shopper who found the new treat shared a photo on the Facebook group Food Finds UK official.
He wrote in the caption: “I HAVE to try this.”
Fellow shoppers flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the new treat.
One said: “These are beautiful.”
Another said: “That looks delicious.”
A third said: “OMG I will definitely get one.”
And Tesco is selling the new treat that goes perfectly with a cup of tea for just £1.75 after using its Clubcard.
Shoppers who don’t have a Tesco card will have to pay £2 to enjoy the treat.
It comes after the supermarket chain slashed the prices of Britain’s second favorite chocolate bar.
The treat is so popular that a Cambridge co-op has upped the ante on plastic safety cases.
The fan favorite Galaxy Smooth Milk bar has been reduced from £3.99 to £2, making the 360g piece some of the cheaper chocolate in the country.
That costs 56p for 100g of sweet goodness.
If you want to get your hands on one of these giant bars, it’s important to note that the deal is only open to Tesco Clubcard holders.
The smaller Smooth Milk chocolate bar has also been reduced in size by maker Mars.
The bar has gone from 110 grams to 100 grams and costs a maximum of £1.50.
News of the discounted chocolate bar comes after the retailer left customers fuming over a major change that has cost them Clubcard points.
Tesco recently shut down a survey site that rewarded customers with Clubcard points and a chance to win a £1,000 voucher.
Shoppers in the store used to receive receipts encouraging them to visit tescoviews.com for a chance to win a gift voucher and earn an extra 25 Clubcard points.
But this week, disappointed shoppers noticed that the retailer is no longer accepting survey responses through the site.
A notice on the address says it will instead contact customers directly for their views, and it is understood this will now be done via email.
What is Tesco Clubcard?
Tesco’s Clubcard program allows customers to earn points as they shop.
These points can then be converted into vouchers for money on food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places such as restaurants and days out.
Every time you spend €1 in store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.
Drivers who use the loyalty card receive one point for every two liters they spend on fuel.
One point is equal to 1 cent, so for example, for 150 points you will receive a discount voucher of € 1.50.
You can double their value if you redeem them for discounts with ‘rewards partners’.
For example, vouchers worth £12 can be exchanged for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.
Or you can exchange 50p worth of points for £1 to spend in Hungry Horse pubs.
What you can spend them on changes regularly and you can check the Tesco website to see what’s available now.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prizes if they have the loyalty card.
The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you pay a higher price.
These Clubcard prices are usually listed on the shelves along with the non-member price.
But it’s worth noting that just because there’s a discount doesn’t necessarily make it the cheapest, and you’ll need to compare prices to find the best deal.
You can sign up for a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
