Costco is selling a 5ft tall giant advent calendar If Terry gets you merry, you can get your hands on a chocolate orange calendar for a mere 75p at Morrisons. Down by 50p, the iconic Christmas classic was advertised as the largest chocolate pieces to date.

These weren't the only large chocolates on offer, as shoppers went wild after discovering Costco was selling a 5ft tall advent calendar . The Lindt creation was sold for £179.98 but tactical customers figured out it was better value for money to just buy the individual chocolates. Given that advent season has begun, retailers will be keen to sell of the remaining stock. Shops will often slash prices to encourage sales of these seasonal items as they become somewhat useless after December. Waiting until the festive period is over is always a great way bag a bargain if you're in a pinch.

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.
