The Consol Red Hot Sale Is Here!

The good folks from Consol Glass gave me an exclusive preview of what you can expect at their red hot sale. There are some fantastic bargains awaiting you so you better hurry.

The sale takes place from 23 July – 6 August 2018. There are some crazy discounts ranging from 25% to 50% off on select products across stores nationwide.

If you are a glass fan make sure you pop into the Consol Cornubia, Woodmead and Stellenbosch stores for the sale.

Did you know that glass is not only versatile but is sustainable as well, as all glass products are 100% natural and 100% recyclable? Glass is the perfect choice when making wise choices for the environment, your health, beauty and it is also durable.

The Consol Shop has something to offer for everybody; from the corporate executive to the home executive with an eye for décor – not to mention those creatives on the lookout for the latest picture perfect Insta-moment.

Are you thinking of something to buy your family or friend? Why not get them a gift in a jar? A good option would be the 3L My Jar. It’s on sale at a great price and now with 50% off you only pay R22.50. Plus remember, with glass the person gets two gifts: the Consol glass jar and what’s inside! A great option might be chocolates. Mmmm!

Are you a biscuit lover? Take a look at the 2L Square Cookie Jar on sale for R27.10. It’s the perfect jar for freshly baked biscuits. If you need to get organised for lunch the next day have a look at the Consol Jar in a Jar. You can get it for R34.80. There are so many options with Consol Glass gifts from picnics to school lunches, trips to the beach or even a snack on the go. With these jars the larger (500ml or 1L) jars fit a smaller (100ml) jar. The jars share a lid, which when closed, holds them securely together as a singular container. Glass containers are great for food storage as it is a healthier option and glass does not retain smells or leak chemicals into food or discolour.

Are you a smoothie lover? I love a good peanut butter and banana smoothie. Whatever your smoothie choice, whip it up and put it in the Consol 500ml Grip n Go for only R16.30.

Try the 150ml cute Yogi Jar at R6.90 for a shot of wheat grass.

If you need a sterilising jar for your baby’s pacifiers consider the 500ml Broadway Jar at R13.60. They are also great for stationery and crafting materials storage.

At these prices this is also the perfect time if you are a bargain hunter to start your Christmas shopping early.

You can find many more options just for you at the Consol Shop. So experience that Red Hot Sale yourself. The Red Hot Sale is at all 3 Consol shops: Cornubia, Stellenbosch and Woodmead.

Breakaway from the winter madness with Cadbury Breakaway and Cadbury Fingers

This week I was invited to try out some tasty treats from Cadbury.

The Cadbury Fingers and Cadbury Breakaway are the delicious mouth-watering biscuits that are covered in South Africa’s favourite chocolate, Cadbury Dairy Milk. These delicious biscuits are the ultimate snack to break away from the madness this winter and getaway to a cosy haven and cuddle up with loved ones in front of the fire!

Cadbury Fingers, a crunchy shortbread biscuit finger covered in Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, is the perfect snack to have a cup of hot chocolate, or even around the fire with friends. The perfect winter snack.

Cadbury Breakaway offers a delicious combination of crispy wafers covered by light chocolate cream and wrapped in Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.

They really are tasty.  

‘‘These delicious treats are the ultimate snack to keeping those winter blues away,’’ says Thandi Ntuli, Mondelez SA Category Lead for Biscuits.

You can find Cadbury Fingers in 144g and Cadbury Breakaway in 180g packs nationwide in major retail stores.

The perfect treat just for you.

Oreo enrobed in Cadbury Dairy Milk celebrates its first birthday!

Happy Birthday to this delicious treat.

#OreoEnrobed

One year ago the world was made a little better by the launch of OREO covered in Cadbury Dairy Milk. This melt in your mouth biscuit arrived on our shores on 7 July 2017 which just happens to fall on World Chocolate Day!

“We could not be happier with how our fans have welcomed this flavour into the Oreo family over the past year, as it has grown phenomenally”, says Thandi Ntuli, Category Lead for Biscuits.

Consumers get to enjoy the best of both worlds, as you are still able to experience the sensation of wonderfilled Oreo even more, now that it is enrobed in delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk.

“Please join me in wishing this delicious biscuit a very happy birthday and thank you for bringing us so much wonderfilled joy over the past year. We can’t wait to celebrate more birthdays with you,” concludes Ntuli.

Look out for Oreo covered in Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate in stores nationwide in 6-Packs.

For more info follow Oreo on Facebook and Twitter @Oreo.
