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.

X Factor's Aiden Grimshaw looks completely unrecognisable 15 years after starring on the singing show alongside One Direction
X Factor 's Aiden Grimshaw looked completely unrecognisable 15 years after starring on the ITV singing competition. The star, who is now 33, appeared on the show back in 2010 which was the same year One Direction took part - but now looks worlds away from his fresh-faced days on TV. Aiden has continued a career in music and regularly posts singing videos, covers, and updates on Instagram to his 19,000 followers. The Blackpool-born musician has released music under the alias Butterjack and his most recent cover was of French musician Kavinsky's track Nightcall. When on The X Factor, he competed as a solo artist on the same season as 1D, which was eventually won by Matt Cardle. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He made it all the way to the live shows and was the the eighth contestant eliminated, earning a record deal with RCA Records after he was voted out in week six. In his audition, he impressed judges with a rendition of Kanye West 's Gold Digger, with no backing track. Aiden looks completely unrecognisable from his X Factor days and is now sporting a bushy moustache. He also swapped his quiff for a floppy, long hairstyle and has upgraded his wardrobe to include more retro fashion. After being eliminated from The X Factor, two years later in 2012 Aiden released his debut single Is This Love which debuted at number 35 on then UK Singles Chart. He continued to find success with his first album Misty Eye, which was also released in 2012 and reached number 19 on the UK Albums Chart. Following a few more projects, he took a break from music before returning in 2015 and then taking on the name Butterjack in 2018. Aiden's departure from The X Factor was a shock one, after he competed against Katie Waissel in the bottom two and the judges vote went do deadlock before going to the public vote. Aiden has continued a career in music and regularly posts singing videos, covers and updates on Instagram to his 19,000 followers The seventh series was won by Matt Cardle, with Rebecca Ferguson runner-up and One Direction third. It comes after Sir Elton John claimed earlier this year that gaining fame from shows like X Factor is ' the worst thing that can happen to you in the music industry'. Instead, the legendary musician suggested new artists 'go and play in a pub' to 'take risks' and get a 'backbone'. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he stressed how important playing live is for musicians. The star admitted then when he played in Musicology, they would sometimes perform to tiny audiences, and no matter how small the crowd, it always helped him improve. He recalled: 'That experience stood me in great stead for when I became Elton John because I had backbone. 'And backbone is so important, because the worst thing that can happen to you in the industry are things like X Factor and instant fame on television where you have no experience of playing live.' Elton said: 'You get put on stage, you go, and you can't do it. That's the worst thing. American Idol - just the worst. Take risks. Go and play in a pub.' However, despite his distaste for musical talent shows, Elton appeared on The X Factor back in 2013 to perform a duet with judge Gary Barlow.

Clint Eastwood, 95, says his viral interview is 'phony' as he never spoke to the publication
Legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood wants to set the record straight. The 95-year-old movie icon spoke to Deadline about headlines about himself - specifically an 'interview' with Kurier - a German-language Austrian newspaper. Clint told Deadline the interview with Kurier never happened and that the entire 'interview' they published is 'phony.' 'A couple of items about me have recently shown up in the news. I thought I would set the record straight. I can confirm I turned 95. I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony,' Clint told Deadline. Clint, who turned 95 on May 31, was quoted by Kurier in the faux interview as saying: 'We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay home.' Clint's career has spanned decades, with his first movie role in Revenge of the Creature in 1955. He starred in iconic projects over the years, including Man with No Name, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dirty Harry, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales and Escape From Alcatraz - just to name a few. Clint has also served as a director in a number of projects including Pale Rider, Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima, Gran Torino and Flags of Our Fathers and more. He also starred in Pale Rider, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino in addition to directing. His most recent project, Juror No. 2 - which he directed - was released in November 2024 and starred Nicholas Hoult. J.K. Simmons and Toni Collete. The last film he appeared in (which he also directed) was Cry Macho in 2021. Clint's son Scott Eastwood spoke out about his father recently. The 39-year-old actor - who is the spitting image of his father - was asked by People how his father was doing nearly a year after Ciint's girlfriend of 10 years, Christina Sandera died at age 61 following a heart attack. Scott said he was 'doing good' and said that 'he's a survivor, a trouper,' explaining that his father doesn't complain; from left to right: Kyle Eastwood, Alison Eastwood, Clint and Scott in December 2018 Scott said he was 'doing good' and said that 'he's a survivor, a trouper,' explaining that his father doesn't complain. 'He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.' Last year, Scott told People some advice his dad Clint told him in regards to his acting career.
