Freddo is briefly returning to its original price of 10p as Sainsbury’s celebrates 200 years of Cadbury.

Supermarket Nectar customers can save big on popular products from Britain’s leading chocolatier this week.

The promotion includes considerable savings of up to 60 percent on fan favorites including the popular Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo, Cadbury Dairy Milk and Cadbury Milk Tray.

Sainsbury’s shoppers can take advantage of the sensational Prince Cuts if they have a Nectar card, which will give them access to savings on selected products from April 17 to 23.

The deals will be available both in-store and online, with Freddos once again costing 10p, while Dairy Milk’s trusty 110g bar will cost just £1.

There’s also 20 per cent off Cadbury Fudge multi-packs and over 50 per cent off milk trays, which will cost £3.00 with Nectar Prices.

Additional Cadbury favorites will have additional savings of up to a third off until May 7 with Nectar pricing.

TIMELINE: THE GROWING COST OF A FREDDO

1994: Freddo was re-released in the UK and cost 10p.

2007 – After 13 years, the price rises to 15 pence for the first time.

2010: The price rose again just three years later to 17p.

2011 – But a year later, it rose again to 20p

2014: Outrage as Freddo prices rise to 25p a loaf

March 2017: Freddo price increased to 30p

March 2018: Freddo went back to 25p

Other cuts include more than 30 per cent off Cadbury Mini Roll Cakes, plus more than 15 per cent off Cadbury Flakes and Curly Wurlys, to name a few.

Rachel Clark, Sainsbury’s grocery director, said: “We are delighted to celebrate such an iconic moment for Cadbury and its milestone of 200 years as a beloved chocolate brand.

“We know our customers love Cadbury, so we’re excited to offer market-leading prices on select Cadbury products, with savings of up to 60 per cent with Nectar Prices.”

All existing Nectar customers need to do to benefit from Nectar Prices is scan their app or swipe their card at checkout to get savings.

Customers shopping online will automatically have discounts applied if their Nectar and Sainsbury’s accounts are linked.

This comes after an heir to the Cadbury dynasty revealed how he set up his own £14m chocolate business without a penny from the £4.6bn fortune his family created.

James Cadbury was teased on the playground as ‘Curly Wurly’ as a child because of his surname, but now he has had the last laugh after following in the footsteps of one of his ancestors.

The 37-year-old’s great-great-grandfather, John Cadbury, founded the family business in 1824 and it has since gone from strength to strength to become the UK’s most popular chocolate brand.

However, due to his family’s Quaker traditions and philanthropy, James has not benefited from the multimillion-dollar company that today dominates confectionery in Britain.

That hasn’t stopped him from making his way in the world of chocolate, and he has now created his own successful business through his hard work and has even rejected the advances of his Dragon’s Den fans.

speaking to SunJames revealed his passion for chocolate and his family’s history prompted him to create Love Cocoa, a confectionery company that plants a tree for every bar sold.

However, the chocolatier took a circuitous route to business success, as despite growing up five miles from the Bourneville factory where the now American-owned Cadbury still manufactures its products, he had no shares in the company.

James initially started working for a pension fund, but after seven years in finance he decided he wasn’t cut out for it and changed course to something closer to home.

After taking gardening leave, she set up Love Cocoa with a Virgin StartUp loan worth £25,000, and backed it with £25,000 of her own savings.

He currently exports to more than 10 countries and has already planted more than 1.6 million trees, while taking his family’s chocolate-making story to the next level.
