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.

Shoppers are scrambling to grab Aldi's luxury-lookalike chocolate before it vanishes CHOCCY TIME Chocolate lovers rush to Aldi as supermarket launches £3.99 dupe of viral 'Dubai chocolate' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHOCOLATE fans are dashing to Aldi as the budget supermarket unveils a £3.99 version of the viral 'Dubai-style' chocolate bar. Now available in Aldi stores across the UK, the 100g bar promises a rich and indulgent experience—without the luxury price tag. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The chocolate is part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, meaning once it's sold out, it may not return Credit: Aldi The treat features creamy pistachio layers and crunchy kadayif pastry, all wrapped in silky milk chocolate. Inspired by a viral hit that exploded on social media, the chocolate has already caused a stir online. AldiUK teased the launch on Facebook, writing: 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The Dubai Style Chocolate Bar lands in store tomorrow! Will you be picking one up.' Fans flooded the comments with excitement. One wrote: 'More temptation.' Another added: 'You knocked it out of the park with this. Absolutely amazing.' A third asked: 'Hey dear Aldi, are these a special or permanent fixture? Xx' The chocolate is part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, meaning once it's sold out, it may not return. With no buying limit, shoppers are expected to stock up quickly. This isn't the first time retailers have tried to cash in on the Dubai chocolate craze. Lidl's JD Gross version flew off shelves, and Waitrose offers a similar pistachio white chocolate bar for £2.75. Morrisons stocks its own version—Bolci Dubai Chocolate—for £5. The trend shows no signs of slowing down, as chocolate lovers continue to seek out these premium-style treats at lower prices. If you're keen to try one, it's worth getting to your local Aldi early to avoid disappointment. As word spreads, demand is expected to spike. To get the best deal, savvy shoppers are encouraged to compare prices using online tools like PriceSpy, Google Shopping, or Idealo.

In April, a typical basket of 79 items cost an average of £135.95 at Aldi—cheaper than rivals including Lidl and Tesco. Bargain hunters should also keep an eye out for Aldi's red sticker items, usually marked down in the morning. These offer major discounts on products close to their sell-by date or with minor packaging damage. Aldi's budget-friendly alcohol selection is another way to save, with own-brand options often coming in much cheaper than big-name labels. Don't forget about Too Good To Go 'Surprise Bags', available in selected stores. These offer a low-cost mix of near-date groceries that would otherwise go to waste.

Huge city centre Wilko store sat empty for years to undergo major transformation into ‘state-of-the-art attraction'
The new development could bring a sense of community back to the high street STORE RESTORED Huge city centre Wilko store sat empty for years to undergo major transformation into 'state-of-the-art attraction' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR renovation is set to revive an empty Wilko store in a busy town centre. The Bristol-based site has been empty since the chain closed down in October 2023. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Wilko closed down in October 2023, leaving hundreds of empty stores Credit: Getty 2 Bristol's empty Wilko store is set for an exciting development this summer Credit: Google A new development project could see the 25,000 square foot derelict building on Union Street be put to good use. The vast space has been let to The Climbing Hangar, with the company planning to turn it into a state-of-the-art indoor climbing facility, complete with bouldering facilities, coaching, and a social space for events. In an announcement on their website, the company wrote: "Climbers in Briz have a lot to get excited about" as they expands into their 11th location. They added: "We're on a mission to inspire bolder living through indoor climbing and that means everyone gets in on the action whether they're a first-timer, or a life-longer." They've promised "hundreds of epic climbs" spread over 10 unique climbing grades, plus a 50 degree Kilter board and a 40 degree Tension Board. It gives climbers a range of options suitable for beginners to experts, with more than 300 climbs available in the 26,000 square foot climbing gym. In addition to all of the climbing equipment, the space will also feature a fully equipped strength training gym. Whether you're getting stuck in, or just want to sit back and relax, the space will also boast a cafe, and a calendar of events for the local community. The exciting new development is scheduled to open towards the end of summer. Commercial property consultancy firm Hartnell Taylor Cook arranged the deal on behalf of landlord AEW. Why are so many shops going bust? Richard Saunders, a partner at the firm, told Bristol Live: "We are delighted to have secured The Climbing Hangar for this significant city centre site." "This deal reflects the ongoing shift in large retail spaces towards experience-led occupiers and The Climbing Hangar will be a fantastic addition to Bristol, bringing fresh energy and activity to the area." The company first launched in 2011 in a Liverpool warehouse but has since expanded across the UK, including in Edinburgh, London and Southampton. Eager climbers can sign up early to get exclusive discounts on their monthly membership and the chance to win a free one year membership. With a passion for making the sport accessible, the company offer unlimited climbing for a monthly fee - with no signing on fees, no minimum term contract, and a cancel any time guarantee. With all of their existing stores boasting nearly 5 stars, Bristolians have lots to look forward to. One review for their Plymouth site reads: "I've been coming here for 12 months now and I can't recommend it enough! Climbs to suit all abilities." Another 5 star reviewer at their London branch said: "Incredibly friendly staff, very great vibes and everything is well kept and taken care of." Others praised the social element of the sport, with a range of community-focused events held in the spaces. One said: "Always a great place to hang out with friends and have a good time." The development promises an exciting addition to Bristol's town centre, as high streets up and down the country struggle to survive. Changing consumer habits post-Covid, as well as increased costs, have seen businesses shutting up shop as high streets are left derelict and empty.

I saved £1,200 last summer - here's my no-spend tricks TEACHER Lavania Oluban saved £1,200 last summer on free festival tickets, cheap picnics and more thanks to her no-spend tricks. Lavania , 37, from Birmingham, volunteers to help at festivals and brings her son Arlo, 7, with her. Sharing her tips on Instagram at the_amazing_adventures_of_me, she's bagged free tickets for the past three years at The Big Feastival at Blur bassist Alex James' Cotswold farm by volunteering at the event's craft tent. She saved £300 last year, and around £900 in total over three years. 'The three-hour stint each day is great fun and gives me an Arlo a free pass to the event as well as camping,' she said. Arlo also has a Blue Peter music badge which gets him free entry to loads of attractions, saving Lavania £100 last summer and more than £500 over the year. She said: 'Earlier this year, we went to Edinburgh for the weekend, stayed in a friend's spare room and visited Edinburgh Zoo. 'Arlo got in free with his badge and I used my Blue Light Card, for healthcare workers and teachers, which gave me hugely reduced entry.' Lavania looks for free days out offers on social media and also enters competitions. She once won free entry for four people to Drayton Manor theme park. 'I pick the ones that don't have as many likes or comments, so I have a better chance of winning,' she said. She uses Clubcard points to get free entry to local attractions and then uses Nectar points to buy a picnic. 'I get a real buzz from having a great day out for free.'
