A savvy shopper who switched to Aldi and Sainsbury's to cut grocery bills has admitted one item from Marks & Spencer makes her abandon her frugal habits. Ellen Jenne, a writer for the Liverpool Echo, said she cannot resist the £7.50 Big Daddy chocolate bar from M&S, despite its high price.
Jenne overhauled her shopping routine years ago, opting for Aldi for essentials and Sainsbury's for top-ups. She noted that comparing prices between the two chains still shocks her. However, the opening of a new M&S Food Hall near her home has proved a temptation too great.
Describing the Big Daddy bar as one of the finest supermarket chocolates, Jenne said it is a substantial milk chocolate bar with caramel, peanut butter, and roasted peanuts, similar to a Snickers. She admitted she can eat an entire bar in one sitting and makes special trips to buy it.
Jenne acknowledged the cost is 'ludicrous' but said she has accepted it. 'If I've got £7.50 available, I'm purchasing the Big Daddy,' she wrote. The bar went viral when first launched due to its eye-watering price.
