This weekend only, you can get cups of Pick 'n' Mix from Wilko for just £1

It’s been a long old January, and whether you’ve been waiting for payday or on a health kick, it’s definitely time for a treat.

If you have a sweet tooth you can get that pick-me-up in the form of a bargain priced Pick ‘N’ Mix at Wilko this weekend.

The retailer have cut the cost of their Candy King cups, and from today to 2 February, they’re just £1 each.

Given that the cups are normally £2 that’s a 50% saving – and a lot of cola bottles and strawbs.

Wilko announced the sale on their Twitter account, saying: ‘Pick & Mix is half price you say? You need to pop to Wilko on your lunch break.’

As you can imagine, the excited GIFs came thick and fast, with a number of people claiming that their weekend plans were now sorted.

Not only that, a member of online savings community HotUKDeals has an extra tip for penny-pinchers.

They said: ‘My top tip: get the biggest cup and push out the bottom. You’ll get an extra 20 jelly beans if you do.’

User andrewworrall1 added: ‘Don’t get a lid and overflow your cup, if they say anything, say you want to cut down on plastic waste so you’re not having a lid and can’t put any back because it’s out of the containers now.’

Since the cups aren’t priced by weight, it’s simply whatever you can fit into it. So if you’re savvy enough you can get more bang for your buck.

While you’re in town, if you head past a Boots it’s worth popping in as the store has just announced the launch of their annual 70% off sale.
