Spotted at Sainsbury's Credit: Facebook Now an eagle-eyed shopper has spotted Terry's chocolate mint bars on the shelves of Sainsbury's, offering a new way to tuck into the treat. Other fans were eager to get their hands on the new item. One said: "That's being added to my shopping list thank you." Another added: "I will have to get to Sainsbury's." Terry's is well-known for its zingy orange flavoured chocolate but the mint version has also been a hit with fans. Gushing shoppers wrote online: "I love these even more than the orange flavour." Another said: "Really nice mint flavour (found other mint choc quite synthetic) would highly recommend." A third added: "I do not like chocolate orange so had never bought Terry's but these are amazing and my whole family are obsessed. Just like after dinner mint but so much nicer as it is milk chocolate and not dark." The mint flavoured bars are £1.25 and stocked in Sainsbury's. But if you can't find the bars in your local shop, the mint chocolate balls are currently more widely available. The cheapest price we could see was from Asda at £1.98. Last year, the brand also launched Terry's Chocolate Mint Crisp Minis. These are mint chocolate segments with crispy pieces inside. The item was a seasonal product but fans will no doubt be hoping it returns again this year. The brand also offers mini and big chocolate flavoured eggs as part of its special Easter ranges. And for anyone who wants a truly cooling treat, Terry's chocolate orange ice cream is currently available in Iceland, £4.50 for a box of four. Terry's plain milk chocolate balls are widely available in supermarkets priced at around £2.50. Terry's Chocolate Orange is a much-loved icon in the confectionery world and has been available to buy since 1932. Around 44 million of the zesty treats are sold globally each year, so the brand has to tread carefully when launching new flavours. Earlier this year, a TikTok account @belongwealth posted a video divulging a little-known secret about the household name. The clip revealed that the iconic brand had another delicious product predating the chocolate orange.. the chocolate apple. The poster gave some context to the history of the product, saying: "In 1926, Terry's Chocolate Works, a family run factory in York, released a dessert chocolate apple. "It did pretty well, so in 1932 they released a dessert chocolate orange, which did really well." According to the TikToker, the chocolate apple did not have the longevity of the orange ball we know and love today because during World War 2, the Terry's chocolate factory was taken over to use as a base for building aircraft blades. After the war, the factory was returned to the Terry's. But due to rationing and limitations on cocoa imports, the company phased out the less popular chocolate apple and focused on the much-loved orange. 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 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.

How to keep cool in a heatwave Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.

Cost of Easter rises as UK chocolate, lamb and hot cross bun prices soar
Exchanging Easter eggs and tucking into a roast dinner are among the highlights of the spring holiday but Britons face paying more for this year's celebrations after a sharp rise in the price of essentials such as chocolate, lamb and hot cross buns. A leg of lamb joint now costs on average £13.94 a kilo in in supermarkets, which is 10%, or £1.31, more than last year, according to the price analysts Assosia. Over two years, the jump is nearly 27%, or approaching £3 more a kilo, based on the pre-promotion price across Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons. The price of hot cross buns has also crept up, with supermarkets charging an average of £1.71 for a four-pack of premium 'extra fruity' buns, which is 19p, or 12%, more than last year. Tucking into chocolate eggs is an integral part of the annual festivities, and last year Britons spent more than £255m on Easter eggs, according to the data company Kantar. However, this year consumers are often being asked to pay more for a smaller egg. When pack sizes are reduced and prices stay the same, or even go up, it is called 'shrinkflation'. Some chocolate eggs from big names such as Cadbury and Mars have increased by more than 50% per 100g, according to research by the consumer champion Which?. At Tesco, Which? found a Twix white chocolate Easter egg had increased from £5 to £6 in the run-up to Easter, and had also shrunk from 316g in 2024 to 258g, meaning the unit price (per 100g) had gone up by 47%. Eagle-eyed shoppers have also spotted that a Terry's Chocolate Orange has diminished in size, down from 157g to 145g. A Terry's spokesperson blamed the decision on 'sky-high cocoa prices due to massive cocoa shortages. We've put off making any changes for as long as we could, but … we've had to make adjustments to the weight of the balls,' they said. Even Cadbury Mini Eggs now have a maxi price tag. At £1.80, an 80g pack costs 30p more than last year. In 2023 the average price was £1.25, according to the market research company Assosia. The increase is particularly noticeable on larger packs, with a family sharing bag hovering around the £5 mark. 'Shrinkflation is becoming more common as manufacturers try to offset rising production costs,' said Richard Price, a grocery analyst at Britsuperstore. 'Brands often choose to reduce portion sizes to maintain affordability while keeping their pricing competitive. Unfortunately, this means consumers are getting less for their money.' The most recent official cost of living data showed UK food prices rose 3.1% in the 12 months to February but a breakdown revealed some big increases. The price of lamb and chocolate was up by 16%. Meanwhile, Easter baking ingredients such as butter and eggs climbed nearly 19% and 5% respectively. Chocolate has become more expensive because of poor harvests in west Africa, in particular Ghana and Ivory Coast, where more than half of the world's cocoa beans are harvested. After hitting an all-time high of £10,137 a tonne last year, cocoa bean market prices had then fallen back but have recently marched higher, reaching £6,200 a tonne in late March. At the same time, putting a Sunday roast on the table has become pricier, with one recent survey suggesting the overall cost of the favourite meal had risen 22% in the past 12 months and 76% over five years. The report by the supply chain company Inverto said the cost of elements such as beef, potatoes and cabbage was up sharply since 2020. The dinner's centrepiece, lamb, has also risen in price, with supplies tight. The British Retail Consortium economist Harvir Dhillon pointed to shortages, with the number of lambs slaughtered falling in 2022 and 2023. 'In addition to this, demand was fairly strong, with consumers slightly less price sensitive and able to spend more on more expensive meat options.' The price of unsalted butter is nearly 28% up on this time last year at £6,250 a tonne, and goes some way to explaining higher prices on supermarket shelves. It is being driven up by several factors, including tight stocks and higher Irish butter prices. 'The UK is a net importer of butter and heavily relies on Irish butter,' said Jose Saiz, a dairy market analyst at the research firm Expana. 'Thus, expensive Irish butter prices have had a knock-on effect on UK prices.'
