Now Christmas is over, both supermarkets and other retailers are slashing prices and festive chocolates, sweets and biscuits are being sold off at a fraction of the price. When it’s gone, it’s gone though, so go quick if you want to stock up.

If you’re not thinking of giving up chocolate as a New Year’s resolution (and you won’t eat it all in one day!), then it might be worth making a trip down to your local supermarket to see what treasures you can find as most online deals have now sold out.

Some discounts are huge (with best-before dates from April-October 2018), so if you’re not bothered about Christmas branding you could amass more chocolate than Willy Wonka in no time.

Here are a few of the tasty discounts we found in store on Wed 27 Dec:

It’s worth noting that prices could fall even further. Previously, Tesco told us: “Once the festive season is over, we gradually reduce the price until all the stock is sold.”
 
Best before vs use by dates?
 
Many of the chocolates and sweets we saw in supermarkets had best before dates from April to October 2018, so check before you buy if you were planning to save them for gifts at Christmas next year.
 
It is worth noting that best before doesn’t mean the same as use by – food doesn’t turn inedible at the stroke of midnight – see our  Food Saving guide for more info.
