Wilko shoppers say it's 'finally good news' as one of its most popular deals returns in all stores until April 11

With millions of parents looking for a cheap way to keep the kids entertained over the Easter holidays, Wilko has brought back one of its most popular deals. The half-price deal consistently proves popular with shoppers.

For the school holidays, the British high-street retail chain has slashed their Pick and Mix prices by half price for a limited time. But, let's be honest, you don't have to have kids to make the most of it.

The retailer, which sells homeware and household goods, is now offering cups of sweets from as little as £1, which shoppers can fill with a wide variety of sweets as there are dozens to choose from. Wilko's XL cups are usually £4. They're now £2. Large are down to £1.50 from £3; while regular ones are £1, down from £2.

From cola bottles to bonbons, what's making up your perfect cup?” Shoppers were thrilled with the news, with user Danielle Davies saying she’ll have to make a trip ”while the kids are off.” Claire Hilliam added “wilkos pick n mix. Always a winner!” while Omar Ramos Batah said: “Finally, good news.”

The cheap sweets make the perfect addition to a movie night and are enjoyed by children and adults alike. When it comes to what you’re going to cram into your cup, you’re spoiled for choice as the sweets you can typically find at the Pick and Mix stand include - cola bottles, cherries, vanilla fudge, milk teeth, strawberries, fizzy bubble bottles, jelly beans and jazzies.

The offer for half price pick n mix launched in stores on Friday (March 31) and will be running until April 11.
