A consumer expert has shared his top 10 Iceland bargains after a recent visit to the popular supermarket. Tom Church, co-founder of money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk, shared his haul on TikTok.
The video, which revealed the new products available in Iceland, as well as money-saving-hacks, gained thousands of views within 24 hours. Tom also shared tips on how to save with an Iceland bonus card.
He said: "I love sharing new products and genuine deals with shoppers. I went to Iceland and found these 10 products which are exciting, delicious, and good value for money.

"The video took off on TikTok and quickly went viral, with shoppers going mad for these new foods! Here are the best deals I found."
Following his video, Tom has spoken about his trip and shared the deals he found. However, it's worth noting that these products might not always be the healthiest option.
Mary Berry Raspberry Panna Cotta, £3
New in Iceland is the Mary Berry Raspberry Panna Cotta. At just £3, Tom believes it's great value for money. He said: "If you shop elsewhere for raspberry panna cotta, you're paying between 20p and £1.25 more in stores such as Ocado and Waitrose."
Bailey's Ice Cream, £3.50
Tom was thrilled to find Bailey's Ice Cream in his haul after looking for it "for weeks". He said: "A tub of Ben and Jerry will typically cost you £4.50, so this Iceland product is great value considering it comes with a boozy twist!"
TGI Raspberry Ripple Sundae Ice Cream Cake, £3
Tom said: "Have you seen TGI's Raspberry Ripple Sundae Ice Cream Cake? It's just £3, making it really good value for money. There's also the Salted Caramel Waffle Ice Cream Cake and my favourite, the Cookies & Cream Sundae Ice Cream Cake, both for the same price.
"You can't find ice cream cake everywhere - the only other one I found was in Waitrose, and it was £6 - in other words, twice the price."
Saucy Chicken Bites, £3
Also new in Iceland are these Chip Shop Curry Bites. Plus they have a Sweet & Sour variety and a Barbecue flavour too. They’re all £3 and would make a quick and easy dinner on a school night.
Tom said: "Considering Sainsbury's offers 200g of chicken bites for £2.20 and ASDA offers 200g for £1.20, getting 560g for £3 in Iceland is a much better deal."
Turkey Twizzlers Cheese 'n' Bean, £3
Tom claimed: "I am sure these £3 cheese 'n' bean turkey Twizzlers will soon be a British delicacy. They are fried and twisted, and I usually serve these with ketchup or mayonnaise. Plus, they are great party food. You'll struggle to find these in other supermarkets - I checked online in ASDA, Tesco and Morrisons but couldn't find them!"
Cathedral City Pizza, £3
Use your Iceland Bonus Card and get the Cathedral City Cheese & Ham Pizza down from £3 to only £2. Tom thought the quantity of toppings was "a tad disappointing", but added: "The cheese tastes good and for £2 it is good value. Plus, I couldn’t find this product online in ASDA, Tesco, Morrisons or Sainsburys, so your best bet is going down to Iceland!"
Slush Puppie Straws, £1
Tom said: "Slush Puppie Straws are definitely not new, but they are apparently new in Iceland. £1 for a box of 13 - that's around 8p a straw. And they also have the Slush Puppie drinks - again these are not new, but maybe Iceland is only stocking them now for the first time."
Tom says these drinks and straws are amazing to take to the cinema as a large Tango Blast costs £4.29.
10 Chiquito Nacho Cheese Bites, £2.50
You can get a ten-pack of Chiquito Nacho Cheese Bites for £2.50. Tom describes them as "little pillows of cheese" and a great option for a quick snack. He added: "Plus, they come out cheaper than their supermarket competitors. ASDA and Sainsburys offer bites priced at £13.90 per kg, Tesco has Saint Augur bites at £22 per kg, but this Iceland product is £11.36 per kg, saving you over £2 per kg."
McCain Gastro Craft Beer Fries, £3
Tom said: "I checked other supermarkets and they’re 30p more for 50g more in Sainsbury's and ASDA, but Iceland is currently offering a 2 for £4.50 deal. Result! Also, if you have an Iceland Bonus Card, you can get this product reduced to £2, making it even cheaper!"
McCain Street Fries Pulled Pork - 2 for £4.50
Tom said: "McCain also had a deal on its pulled pork street fries. Normally £2.50 each they’re 2 for £4.50 online, making them 25p cheaper. I really like these - they're fries loaded with pulled pork in a honey and mustard sauce." For more what's on and shopping stories from WalesOnline, you can get our newsletter here.
