The chain is quite popular across the United States – but it’s not something that many Brits will be familiar with
Home Bargains shoppers are thrilled after spotting a food item for sale on shelves in the UK that is normally only available in America. Fans of a specific USA chain are very happy and eager to stock their cupboards with the newly-released product.
TikTok user Chloé-Ann (@kmaesthetics_) posted a short clip and wrote: “Omg yes!!! Home Bargains giving us the Chick Fil-A sauce”. The video was posted on Tuesday (May 27) and has quickly racked up more than 620k views and hundreds of comments.
The fast food chain is famed for its chicken sandwiches and its own line of sauces that customers can buy in bulk bottles to take home. According to the American website, the classic Chick-fil-A sauce is “a classic dipping sauce with notes of mustard and a smoky tang.”
While it’s available to order from Amazon and other online retailers, Home Bargains surprised fans of the chain with full jumbo 16oz (454ml) bottles on shop shelves. Reacting to Chloé-Ann’s video, one person said: “I hate that we get the sauce before an actual Chick-fil-A—that place is so goooood!”
Last year, Chick Fil-A bosses announced Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and London as the chosen locations where the first UK stores would open. To date, there are more than 3,000 restaurants across the US, Puerto Rico and Canada.
Another added: “Omg I just came back from the US with this. I could’ve saved my suitcase space! It’s $3.70 there!” A third wrote: “Running to find it now!”
Someone else put: “This best not be a joke!” and another said: “Oh my god! Ours from NYC just ran out. This is the best news all week!”
In Home Bargains, the sauce is listed for sale at £4.79. This is advertised as a markdown from a regular price of £9.97, which saves shoppers £5.18.
A fifth asked: “Does it taste like mayo?” They were told by another TikTok user: “It’s more of a sweet smoky mustard than mayo.” And, there was one more who put: “Seeing this just before I was gonna order from Amazon for double the price! Thank you for sharing!” There was another fan who posted: “My bottle just ran out! THIS A SIGN!”
Home Bargains appears to only have one original variety of the fast food sauce in stock. There are four more versions available from the brand, including Barbecue, Honey Mustard, Polynesian and Garden Ranch.
As with all StarBuy items in Home Bargains, stock will be limited, so people wanting to get their hands on a bottle of this sauce will have to be quick. Shoppers can look online for a selection of what is offered in Home Bargains stores across the UK.
