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.
Four major supermarkets are also launching cheap veg deals from today, with prices starting from 8p.
Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are all slashing prices on Easter Sunday roast essentials.
Morrisons shoppers with a More Card can get carrots, swedes and parsnips for just 8p from today until April 20.
The supermarket has also slashed the price of its “Best Potatoes” from £2.30 to £1.10 for all customers.
From tomorrow, Aldi is also dropping the price of some of its veg to 15p and its 1kg bags of carrots to 8p.
Lidl and Sainsbury’s customers can also get Sunday roast essentials for 15p from tomorrow and Wednesday, respectively.
