Cheapest shops to buy Dubai-style chocolate this week and prices start at just £1.25

SHOPPERS can't get enough of Dubai-style chocolate at the minute, so we've searched for where you can get it cheapest.

The Middle Eastern delicacy combines milk chocolate with pistachio paste and Kadayif – crunchy shredded pastry dough.

It has taken the internet by storm with shoppers willing to pay well over the odds to get their hands on it.

Now, major UK retailers and supermarkets are cashing in and launching different versions of the viral snack in stores and online.

Some, including Waitrose and Lidl, have even had to impose purchase limits on theirs so there's enough to go around.

But where can you get the chocolate cheapest this week? We've rounded up the best options.

It's worth bearing in mind, our list is not exhaustive and you may find bars cheaper at your local supermarket or retailer.

Remember to always use price comparison websites like Trolley and Price Spy to find which retailers are selling any product for the cheapest.

You can also use the Google Shopping/Product tab to quickly scour the internet to see what chains are selling something for too.

One Beyond

One shopper recently spotted smaller bars of Bolci Dubai-style chocolate in their local One Beyond.

The bargain chain, which use to be called One Below, runs around 100 stores across the UK.

They posted their find in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.

It's worth bearing in mind, you might not be able to get the bars at all One Beyond branches. You won't find it on sale online either.

Lidl

Lidl first launched its dupe of Dubai chocolate on TikTok shop, with 6,000 bars selling out in 72 minutes.

The retailer is now selling the J.D. Gross bars in stores across the UK, with Lidl Plus customers able to snag one for £3.99.

If you don't have a Lidl Plus card you'll have to pay an extra £1. There's also a purchase limit of two per shopper.

Meanwhile, you can't order the bar online but can find your nearest store by visiting lidl.co.uk/c/store-finder/s10023098.

Morrisons

Morrisons is selling larger 100g bars of Bolci Dubai-style chocolate for just £5.

Shoppers can find the bar online but bear in mind you'll have to pay a delivery charge.

Customers have left plenty of five star reviews for the bar on Morrisons's website.

One branded the bar “gorgeous” while another said it was “pricey but worth it for a treat”.

Those with a bit more cash in the bank might be keen on buying Lindt's Dubai-style chocolate.

It's on sale at Waitrose, Sainsbury's Ocado and direct off the Lindt website for £10.

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.
