How to find the cheapest deals
FOLLOW our tips and tricks to cut the costs of your shopping:
- Find the cheapest online prices: Google Shopping is a good tool for finding the cheapest price - it searches a wide range of retailers of various sizes
- Abandon online shopping baskets: Don't go straight to check-out after putting the items in your basket - it may tease retailers into giving you discount codes
- Ask a site to negotiate a fee for you: If you're struggling to find a deal, Flubit is a free site that aims to negotiate discounts for you
- Sign up to retailers' newsletters for big discounts: It sometimes means a percentage discount code, or a straight discount off your first shop
- Check when stores discount groceries: Check with your local store when they discount food items that are about to expire - this is the perfect time to nab bargains
A Thorntons chocolate lolly of The Snowman has been slashed to 10p from £1.
If you can't make it into a branch of Wilko, Thorntons has also reduced the lolly to 50p and .
The cheap chocolate deals are going down a storm with bargain hunters on the Hotukdeals messageboards.
One said: "Seriously cheap and seriously hot! The deal not the chocolates!"
Another added: "Feeling Lindt sick at moment, never eaten so much amazing chocolate.
"Will be completely sick of it soon but still going. Going to get more in Tesco tomorrow, the new year diet already screwed."
It's always a good idea to try and shop around to make sure you really are getting the best deal.
And as with anything, it's only a deal if you would normally buy the item on sale anyway.
