B&M shoppers spot 90s Cadbury chocolate selling for just £1

Budget high street retailer B&M have delighted shoppers once again by flogging one of Cadbury's most sought after discontinued chocolates from the 90s. The premium treats were massively popular throughout the 1990s, and took many back to the days before they were discontinued when spotted.

Many were left devastated when they were announced to be culled from shelves, but the good news is that they're back with a bang some 20 plus years later. And the even better news still is that they're only £1 each.

Many who have fond memories of 90s confectionary will remember Cadbury Astros - boxes of biscuit bites coated in signature rich milk chocolate. The Manchester Evening News reports that the popular confectioners launched the candy initially in 1997, but they were discontinued in the UK shortly after, but they were still sold in South Africa.

However, one shopper has spotted them in their local B&M for just £1 - taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to share their delight. The Daily Record say that the shopper wrote: "Guess what I came across in B&M today, I was like a big kid. Childhood nostalgia.

"Wrong label on shelf but scanned at £1.00 a box which is 40g. Not sure who remembers these from the 90s."

And many flocked to the post to share their fond memories of the 90s sweet treat, with hundreds commenting on how they "loved" them as children. "I loved these as a kid, I remember when they first came out," raved one shopper.

"I used to spend my bus money on these and have to walk home from high school. I loved them so much", commented a second. Another said: "No way I literally saying I’ve missed these they were amazing."

Meanwhile, a fifth person said: "Wow not seen these for years."
