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.
