SUPERMARKETS have slashed the price on a range of sweet treats to help households celebrate a major event,
Major supermarkets are rolling out unbeatable offers on chocolates and sweet treats, that families can mark the occasion of Ramadan without breaking the bank.
Ramadan is an important month in the muslim calendar.
This year, it began on February 28 and is expected to last 29 to 30 days.
During the month, muslims won’t eat or drink between dawn and sunset. This is called fasting.
At the end of the daily fast – when the sun has gone down – families and friends will get together to break their fast, often starting with water and dates.
It is common for families to host dinners in the evening and spend time with loved ones.
As millions across the UK mark Ramadan 2025, supermarkets have rolled out incredible deals on sweet treats, dates and chocolates to help families celebrate on a budget.
From indulgent chocolate boxes to discounted dates, we’ve scoured the aisles of big supermarkets including Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Asda to bring you the best bargains.
Here’s what’s on offer…

An Asda spokesperson said: “As many families continue to feel the effects of the cost-of-living crisis, we recognise the importance of making savings before key events such as Ramadan and Eid.
“We’re also incredibly proud of the variety and quality of the products available for customers looking to stock up ahead of Ramadan, and our dedicated aisles and front-of-store zones make it convenient and stress-free for shoppers to pick up everything they need.”

How to save big on your grocery shop
While supermarkets are rolling out hot deals for Ramadan, there are even more ways to slash your grocery bill and make your money go further.
From food waste apps to yellow sticker bargains, there are a number of ways to cut costs.
Many retailers sell slightly misshapen or surplus produce at a fraction of the price, helping you save while reducing food waste.
Lidl’s Waste Not Scheme offers 5kg of fruit and veg for just £1.50, while Aldi’s Too Good to Go bags let you grab £10 worth of groceries for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also has “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” boxes for £2, packed with surplus food perfect for Iftar meals.
These deals are ideal for stocking up on ingredients without breaking the bank.
Yellow sticker discounts are a tried-and-tested way to save big. Supermarkets reduce prices on items nearing their sell-by date throughout the day, with the steepest discounts usually in the evening.
It’s worth checking your local store’s reduction times – some start as early as 5pm, while others wait until closer to closing.
Whether it’s bread, meat, or ready meals, yellow sticker bargains are perfect for Iftar meals that can be frozen or cooked straight away.
Bargain hunter communities on Facebook are another goldmine for savvy shoppers. Groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK are packed with members sharing the latest deals, discounts, and tips.
From flash sales to clearance items, these groups are like having a team of personal shoppers working to save you money.
Members often share insider info on when and where to find the best deals, so it’s worth joining a few to stay in the loop.
Switching to own-brand products is another simple way to save hundreds of pounds a year.
Known as “downshifting,” this strategy is championed by money-saving expert Martin Lewis.
Many own-brand products are just as good as big-name brands but cost significantly less.
For example, swapping branded rice, oil, and tinned goods for supermarket alternatives can make a huge difference to your grocery bill without compromising on quality.
Ramadan is a good time to stock up on essentials like rice, oil, and dates.
Buying in bulk often works out cheaper per unit, and many supermarkets offer extra discounts for larger packs.
Stores like Asda, Morrisons, and Tesco frequently have bulk-buy savings on Ramadan staples, so it’s worth planning ahead and stocking up.
Finally, don’t forget to sign up for supermarket loyalty schemes like Tesco Clubcard and Sainsbury’s Nectar.
These schemes offer exclusive discounts and points that can be redeemed for cash off your shop. Using your points during Ramadan can help you save even more on Iftar essentials and Eid treats.
With these tips, you can slash your grocery bill and make your Ramadan budget stretch further.
From food waste apps to yellow sticker bargains, there are plenty of ways to save without sacrificing quality.
So, get shopping, save big, and enjoy a happy Ramadan with your loved ones.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
