‘For crying out loud' fume shoppers as chocolate advent calendar ALREADY on shelves at UK supermarket
One expert argues that shopping for Christmas early means you'll bag the best deals XMAS COMES EARLY 'For crying out loud' fume shoppers as chocolate advent calendar ALREADY on shelves at UK supermarket Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DESPITE the UK basking in glorious sunshine and with still plenty of time left of August, some shops are sneaking in early Christmas treats. Fed-up shoppers took to social media to name and shame one supermarket after noticing an Advent calendar on its shelves. 2 The fancy Advent calendar is already in stores Credit: Facebook The shop in the firing line is B&M, after a photo of the Guylian countdown treat was shared on New Foods UK's Facebook. "For crying out loud, it is only August! Some of us haven't had our summer holiday yet," one moaned, adding angry-face emojis. Another pointed out: "The way the chocolate is going in b&m during this heat, I would hate to think what it would be like in Dec!" "It's bloody August!" a third echoed. "Can't we just enjoy summer? We'll have months of this to come," argued a forth. But not everyone was annoyed by the bargain retailers forward thinking. One person tagged her husband and wrote: "Please do not pass by this in B&M without buying me one!!" Another tagged a friend and said: "Get looking early. I'd like one of these please." The £12 calendar is filled with three different flavours of the iconic Belgian chocolates. From December 1 to 24, behind each door is a milk truffle, original seashell, or salted caramel delight. And it's not just Advent calendars that the bargain store is flogging. Another picture of seasonal goodies was shared on Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK Facebook Group. "Festive Chocolate Selection Boxes are BACK at B&M," one shopper wrote. "A few we found whilst in store today, there's lots of other Christmas chocolate to choose from!" But one disappointed customer penned: "We've not even finished summer yet or had Halloween. "I swear Christmas gets earlier and earlier every year, makes you wonder how long these chocolates sit there before we buy and save for Christmas." Another added: "Too soon for Christmas but I'd still scoff them." While it may feel premature to start stocking up on Christmas treats, bargain hunters often bag better deals in the off-season. In fact, one expert has shared why now is the ideal time to buy your festive decorations, and where to buy them. 2 B&M is also flogging selection packs of chocolates Credit: Alamy

DESPITE the UK basking in glorious sunshine and with still plenty of time left of August, some shops are sneaking in early Christmas treats.

In fact, one expert has shared why now is the ideal time to buy your festive decorations, and where to buy them. 2 Why B&M is so good for bargains SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys... WE all love B&M (especially me). It's a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies. Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too. If you're on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising - as it's full of cheap bargain buys. Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too - so if you're after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you'll need to take a trip. Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends - so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can't justify the price, give it a few weeks and you'll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.

Supermarket giant slashes price of Guylian chocolates to just 40p and they're ‘perfect for Father's Day'
Shoppers are quickly snapping up the bargain ahead of Sunday CHOC FULL Supermarket giant slashes price of Guylian chocolates to just 40p and they're 'perfect for Father's Day' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR supermarket has slashed the price of Guylian chocolates to just 40p in time for Father's Day.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Guylian Chocolates Credit: Facebook/Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK News of the discount was posted by a savvy shopper to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, who wrote: "Small guylian chocolates at Asda! 40p perfect little present for Father's Day!!" Fans of the sweet treat were quick to respond in the comments, with one declaring, "I need these", and another hailing the deal as "unreal". Another user tagged a friend in the post, telling them to "grab seven boxes" the next time they're in Asda. One shopper also suggested buying them as a gift for teachers as the summer holidays approach. The discount means the boxes of premium Belgian chocolates are now almost as cheap as a Cadbury's Freddo - which currently sells for 35p. It's unclear whether the discount is available in Asda stores nationwide, as one shopper said the boxes were priced at £1.58 at their local branch. Sainsbury's is selling the same box of Guylian chocolates for £2.10, according to its website. Back in March, Morrisons handed out 50,000 free boxes of Guylian Original Seashells chocolates to mothers in stores nationwide to celebrate Mother's Day. Other Father's Day Bargains In other discount news, B&M has slashed the price of massive 850g Dairy Milk chocolate bars to just £1, down from £3.

The same-sized White Chocolate Toblerone with Honey and Almond Nougat is listed for the same price. Even the lesser known Orange Twist Milk Toblerone is available as part of the deal. Meanwhile, Aldi has launched a bargain beer dispenser on Specialbuy shelves this week for just £24.99. There are also many places across the country giving dads free entry for Father's Day. Dads go free all weekend at the Whitehouse Farm Centre, 30 minutes north of Newcastle. An adults entry costs £15.95 online or £16.95 on the day as a walk-in. Woodlands Leisure Park, Twinlakes Park, Wheelgate Theme Park, Powderham Castle and Dartmoor Zoo are also offering similar deals for dads. Sea Life centres across the country are also offering free entry for dads from June 10 to 16.

We've previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes - including the ones that will save you the most money. Look out for booze deals Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals. She said: "Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%. "The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C. "Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save." Join Facebook groups The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store. Eilish said: "I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.

It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
