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.

Birmingham brothers sign Aldi sauce deal after Dragons' Den win
Two brothers who began making homemade sauce in their mother's kitchen have secured a deal with a supermarket giant. Jayden and Brendan Manders, from Quinton, Birmingham, started their sauce empire with just £100 each before they secured a £90,000 investment from Dragons' Den star Emma Grede. From Sunday, Lumberjaxe sauce was made available in Aldi nationwide. Reacting to the news Brendan, said: "It's a bit surreal. If someone told us last year we'd be in Aldi stores, we'd have laughed."Jayden added: "I feel like the luckiest man. We went there [Dragons' Den] and poured our hearts out and as you can see." He added: "We're just two Brummie lads, literally from a council estate, who built their way up."We had £100 each and we tried to go on TV for £90,000 - it's a bit of a jump isn't it? "We got the investment from Emma Grede and she's been the loveliest, loveliest person to have around our business. It's exactly what we needed."Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: "At Aldi, we love to champion growing UK businesses. "Brendan and Jayden's story is truly inspiring, and the sauces are delicious, so we can't wait to bring this fantastic product to our shoppers."

I tried all the supermarket cookie dough ice creams – winner is as luxurious as Haagen-Dazs but costs just £2.19
Laura Stott gives eight tubs a rating out of five HOT TUB I tried all the supermarket cookie dough ice creams – winner is as luxurious as Haagen-Dazs but costs just £2.19 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN it comes to chunky cookie ice cream, which brand has got the competition licked? We set about our chilly quest after Haagen-Dazs revealed it had upped the dough nibbles in its Cookies and Cream flavour by 80 per cent. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Premium ice cream retails at a wallet-melting £5.75 a tub Credit: Getty The crunchy pieces now make up ten per cent of the sweet treat. But with the premium ice cream retailing at a wallet-melting £5.75 a tub, can supermarket own-brands give you the same flavours at a price that doesn't take the biscuit? Laura Stott dug deep into a selection to find out. Here she gives her verdict. Haagen-Dazs Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Frozen Dessert Tub 460ml, £5.75, various supermarkets 9 The Haagen-Dazs Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Frozen Dessert Tub is smooth and decadently creamy Credit: Damien McFadden SCOFFING the original posh pot from big brand Haagen-Dazs will set you back a pretty penny. But on the plus side, it's smooth and decadently creamy vanilla ice cream has a lovely rich taste and velvet texture – and it really does have the feel of a premium product. The crumbly biccie dough bits have been dunked in chocolate. They taste dreamy and add to the luxury. But even though the amount of them per tub has been increased by 80 per cent, yet more of them would be even better. For an occasional treat when staying in, or sharing with a partner, there's little not to enjoy when savouring a bowl of this – except of course for the steep price tag. RATING: 3/5 Chef reveals how to make Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream at home Gianni's Monster Cookie Crunch 500ml, £2.49, Aldi 9 Gianni's Monster Cookie Crunch from Aldi has a nice creamy texture Credit: Damien McFadden THE Cookie Monster-colour madness of Aldi's bright blue offering perhaps screams family movie night in, rather than sophisticated luxury. But it will certainly make you smile with its Sesame Street connotations. This was the first time I've tucked into a fluorescent blue ice cream but despite the lurid hue, it was pretty good. It had a nice vanilla flavour and a creamy texture even if it does feel a little confusing when you spoon in. There are big chunks of cookie scattered through, with a good cocoa choccie flavour and satisfying dense texture, plus sweet marshmallow sauce. Probably one to share with the kids rather than stock up on for a date night, owing to the novelty shade. But a fun and tasty dessert. RATING: 4/5 Fully Loaded Top of the Chocs Ice Cream 500ml, £4, Marks & Spencer 9 Fully Loaded Top of the Chocs Ice Cream from Marks & Spencer is a nice pud overall Credit: Damien McFadden THIS is a more grown-up and sophisticated biscuit-based tub and that's reflected in the higher price. But the ingredients are good quality and it's packed with the flavours it promises. It combines chocolate in four guises – ice cream, truffles, biscuit balls and sauce. The dense, dark choc ice cream has a strong taste of cocoa and the slightly bitter note associated with the higher percentage bean content – but it's delicious. The sauce is decadent, thick and gooey and the truffle nibbles are a real treat. But surprisingly, the biscuit balls were a disappointment as their dry texture added little. Overall, a nice pud, but if you want something packed with biccie flavour, this won't be the best choice. RATING: 2/5 Gelatelli Cookie Dough 500ml, £2.19, Lidl 9 Gelatelli Cookie Dough from Lidl has a smooth, velvet texture that melts on your tongue Credit: Damien McFadden WITH its bright orange lid and bold-coloured packaging, this might lack the sex-appeal of the big-name offering – but it's just as luxurious. Deliciously creamy and decadent, it was the richest and most indulgent vanilla ice cream of all the own-brand offerings, with a smooth, velvet texture that melts on your tongue. Hardly surprisingly when it's made with 29 per cent cream, and also contains condensed whole milk. The cookie dough balls, which accounted for 16 per cent of the tub, were chewy and delicious. The additional chocolate chunks ramped up the cocoa flavour and stayed nice and firm out of the freezer too. All that at a price that won't melt your weekly budget. A cracking cookie dough chomp. RATING: 5/5 Cookie Dough Ice Cream 500ml, £2.75, Morrisons 9 The fillings taste great in this Cookie Dough Ice Cream from Morrisons Credit: Damien McFadden FIRST impressions were good here. It's a generous size and a purse-friendly price. It looked good when I took off the lid, too, with generous swirls of choc sauce and a decent amount of cookie dough pieces (16 per cent). But it's a shame there were no choccie chunks alongside. Instead you get extra cocoa-based shavings but they don't quite give you that same delicious, yummy crunch or element of enjoyment as a whole piece. The fillings taste great so it was a shame that the base ice cream they are mixed into wasn't the best. The frozen dairy was somewhat tasteless, with no real vanilla flavour and a rather watery texture, which was a real pity. I felt it let the rest of the pot down. RATING: 3/5 Loaded Cookie Dough Ice Cream 480ml, £1.98, Asda 9 The choccie chunks seam a bit meagre in the Loaded Cookie Dough Ice Cream from Asda Credit: Damien McFadden A BARGAIN-price biscuit-based bowl of ice cream, this will save you a few quid when stocking up the freezer compared to the big-name brands. Despite its value price, this is a satisfying 16 per cent chewy biccies bits – although these tasted a bit blander than in some other offerings and their texture was claggier, making them a little less morish. There are choccie chunks distributed throughout, too, but they did seem a bit meagre. Overall, for the price, this is a perfectly satisfying pudding with decent vanilla ice cream which makes it ideal when serving up for family afters. But it doesn't quite hit the mark as a luxury, indulgent dessert. A great pound- saving everyday option. RATING: 4/5 Fully Loaded Choco Cookie Dough Ice Cream 425ml, £3, Tesco 9 You won't get many servings from Tesco's Fully Loaded Choco Cookie Dough Ice Cream Credit: Damien McFadden IF you like your ice cream loaded with chunks, swirls, treats and morsels in every mouthful, this really delivers, packing a big flavour punch. It's 19 per cent chocolate chip cookie dough pieces plus there are plentiful amounts of gooey chocolate sauce swirled through the vanilla ice cream, and big dark chocolate chunks too. The choccie sauce was not that evenly distributed, with more on top, so as you progress down, there isn't as much. But you shouldn't feel short changed as you still get goodies in every spoonful. Tastes like a real treat and if you like to dig your spoon around to find the hidden chunks, you'll love this. Not the cheapest though and you won't get many servings from a tub. RATING: 3/5 Halo Top Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 460ml, £3.75, Asda (Rollback price) 9 The flavour seems more synthetic in Halo Top Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Credit: Damien McFadden MARKETED as a lower-calorie option, this has just 370 calories in the whole tub. The main difference, as a result, is you don't get as rich and creamy an ice cream base, because it is made with skimmed milk. The texture was noticeably thin and insipid and the flavour seemed more synthetic. I noticed the strange aftertaste often associated with sweeteners straight after scoffing it too. There are also far fewer nibbles and treats mixed in – it's 6.1 per cent cookie dough lumps and 1.9 per cent chocolate drops – meaning it doesn't feel as much fun to eat. It's not that satisfying and if I wanted to watch my calories, I'd sooner have a smaller portion from a different pot. RATING: 1/5
