A "Coupon King" has tracked down the cheapest Quality Street boxes you can find ahead of Christmas - but you'll need to be quick to get hold of them.

Self-professed "tightwad" Jordon Cox revealed where Brits can pick up the festive favourites at almost half the price they will be by the big day.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Jordon pointed shoppers in the right direction to take advantage of the cut-price offers.

He said: "We all love a bit of chocolate.

"So the boxes of chocolate - Celebrations, Quality Street, Heroes, Roses - these are the cheapest they're probably going to be before Christmas.

"They're down to £3.95 in Tesco.

"If you have the Tesco Clubcard, go into stores."

The unbelievable prices left show host Alison Hammond stunned, as she exclaimed: "Are you serious?

"I'm going.

"I'm going to get all my Christmas stuff now."

Alison and everyone else will have to be quick, though, as Jordon revealed that the offer only lasts through this weekend.

Shoppers have to make their way to Tesco before Monday in order to get hold of the discounted treats.

However, Jordon's glad news also came with a warning as the dreaded "shrinkflation" has struck again.

He explained: "This time last year they were 600g these tins.

"They're down to 550g.

"It's the same sort of price but less in them."

Nonetheless, he said it's still very much worth the trip to get hold of your chocs, especially with another Christmas staple also on offer.

Terry's Chocolate Oranges are down from £1.50 to 95p in Tesco until Tuesday, including the newly-revived Toffee Crunch flavour.

To find your nearest store head over to the store's website.

Each store will have its own stock of the packs and these kinds of bargains tend to sell-out pretty quickly.

It's always worth phoning ahead to your local store to check how many they have available.

As always, make sure to have a shop around before you commit to a purchase to make sure you're always getting the best deal.

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.
