How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
Chocoholics also went mad for the new Cadbury Dairy Milk bar which hit supermarket shelves for the first time this month.
Dairy Milk fans were initially excited about the collaboration when the bar appeared in stores on March 15.
The bar features Cadbury Dairy Milk with caremelized shortbread Biscoff pieces.
But the first people to get a taste of the new chocolate were less than impressed with its flavour.
One said: “Just had it and not worth it.
They added that they “couldn’t really taste the Biscoff” and were left feeling “disappointed”.
Another said: “Got it yesterday and can’t really taste the Biscoff, not that impressed.”
Meanwhile, B&M slashed the price of family-sized Quality Street pouches to just £3 last week.
The same bag would set you back £4 at Tesco and £3.50 at Asda.
Stocks may vary by store so check your local branch for details.
Bargain hunters also raced to Morrisons to get their hands on big packs of Cadbury chocolates scanning for just 87p.
The chocolates include Bitsa Wispa, Crunchie Rocks, Oreo Bites and Cadbury Animals, all for a fraction of their usual price.
The 110g bags of sweet treats usually range between £1.75 and £2 at the major supermarkets.
