One happy shopper penned: "Another reason to go Tesco this week lol."

"Stock up for Christmas!" Wrote another.

A third agreed: "Absolute bargain!!"

"Any chance of these lasting till Christmas if I get them and hide them," joked someone else.

Meanwhile, Sainsbury's Cadbury Heroes are still priced at £6, while slightly larger 750g tins cost £10 and £14.40 at Ocado or Waitrose respectively.

Cadbury Roses are also on the market for £6 at competing industry giants.

Quality Street will set customers back £6 from Iceland and Sainsbury's but can be bought for £5 through Ocado.

Celebrations are also £5 on Ocado, but £6 at Sainsbury's, Iceland and Asda.

It comes as Asda shoppers were delighted after discovering a Cadbury chocolate advent calendar is selling for just 85p in stores.

The deal has been shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargaining Facebook group and users are shocked by the reduced price.

It is a Cadbury Dairy milk advent calendar, containing 24 milk chocolates in various festive shapes.

On the Cadbury website, the calendar sells for £2.25, meaning this Asda bargain is 62% discounted from the original price.

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 on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for 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.

Elsewhere, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy festive chocolate treats that are perfect for kids' Christmas Eve boxes.

The bargain retailer's festive selection box has social media users going wild as they plan ahead for Christmas.

The find was posted on the NewfoodsUK Facebook group and it quickly amassed over 3,000 likes and 1,000 comments.

One user wrote: "I love these and will definitely buy two for my sons’ Christmas Eve boxes. I love creating their boxes."

Of course, do bear in mind it's still pretty early in the year and further deals will no doubt be released in the coming weeks.

It always pays to compare prices so you know you're getting the best deal.

Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you're ordering online.

You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk.

What can I get with Tesco Clubcard?

TESCO'S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop.

These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out.

Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.

Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.

One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example.

You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with "reward partners".

For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.

Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs.

Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what's available now.

Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.

The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you'll pay a higher price.

These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price.

But it's worth noting that just because it's discounted doesn't necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal.

You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
