Shoppers at Marks & Spencer are celebrating after the retail giant reduced the price of its iconic Percy Pig sweets. The move has delighted loyal fans of the fruity treats, making them even more irresistible.
The 160g bag of Percy Pig sweets, a staple in many British households, has seen its price drop from £2 to £1.75. While it might seem like a small saving, customers have taken to social media to express their excitement about the change.
A Sweet Deal for Loyal Fans
Percy Pig sweets have been a firm favourite since their launch in 1991. Known for their distinctive pink colour and fruity flavour, these sweets have become synonymous with M&S. The price reduction comes as welcome news to shoppers looking for affordable indulgences during the cost-of-living crisis.
