Freddo: The real indicator of inflation.
Energy prices may be soaring but it’s the price of cornor shop favourites that really gets the people going.
It’s been a big social media topic as older millennials recall when Freddo was once 10p and over the years the average price of the Cadbury’s chocolate is increased to 30p.
In the grand scheme of things this may not be world changing, but it most definitely rocked our boats, so people will be pleased to know that things can be a bit normal again thanks o American consumer goods and food delivery company, GoPuff.
Starting from this week, namely 23 August, the company is discounting the price of its Freddo to 60p for a pack of six. In short, 10p each.
A release announcing the news explains: “GoPuff is turning back the clocks to 1994 when things were simpler, life was cheaper, and our happiness could be measured by the price of convenience store bought chocolate.”
Run, don’t walk because there is a time limit on the deal, with customers having just one week to get their hands on the bars at 10p each before it runs out on 30 August.
The discount can be redeemed using the code FREDDO10, so make sure to make the most of it before the price goes up and we have to face the facts that there is inflation problem on our hands.
Back in April, it was widely reported that Cadbury fans were left stunned after secret shoppers investigated the serious problem of price hikes on the frog-shaped favourite chocolate bar.
The report by the Liverpool Echo revealed that the choco-lovers faced a staggering 400% price increase. Not sweet.
