An online retailer called Discount Dragon will have you covered for almost everything you need for a fraction of high street store prices.
And that includes your festive-favourite chocolates, which are always popular with shoppers at this time of year.
To help save you money on your food bills, Discount Dragon are offering shoppers the chance to buy one box of 18 Quality Street Orange Crunch Chocolate Bars for £17.99.
That works out at just 99p per bar, which come in at 84g each.
Furthermore, Discount Dragon are saving you £4.51, having slashed prices down from £22.50.
There is also the option to buy 17 bars of The Purple One – another Quality Street favourite.
For just £16.99, you’re still getting the festive treats for 99p each, even though there is one less in the box.
These one’s are slightly heavier, though, weighing in at 87g per bar.
You’ll also be saving £4.26, with Discount Dragon reducing prices down from £21.25.
Both products have a minimum best before end date of June 2024, lasting you up to six months after Christmas.
Shoppers also have the option of buying a 500g pack of Strawberry Dream Cadbury Roses for £2.99.
However, Discount Dragon requires a minimum of two packs per order of the strawberry flavoured chocolates, taking your total up to £5.98.
But with a minimum best before end date of October 2024, you won’t be rushed to eat them all at once.
Discount Dragon also specialise in selling products that are either near or have gone past their “best before” dates – meaning supermarkets can no longer sell them.
However, they’re still within their “use by” date and are perfectly safe to consume.
That includes 10 packs of Christmas pudding flavoured Festive Spiced Caramel Popcorn for £9.99.
These has a minimum best before date of November 15, 2023, but at just 99p per pack they’re still a bargain for a festive treat.
If you really want to cut your costs, then Discount Dragon are also offering The Ultimate Champagne, Gin, Mulled Wine & Chocolate Luxury Wicker Gift Hamper Basket for £99.99.
It might sound expensive but you’ll actually be saving yourself £105.01.
That’s because the 28 items included in the Luxury Hamper are worth over £200 when purchased separately, based on supermarket prices.
While Discount Dragon offers some amazing prices, they won’t always be cheaper than other places.
Therefore, it’s always important to check out how much other retailers are selling a product for instead of diving into the first offer you see.
Using the Google Shopping tab to trawl the internet is the best way of finding out how much something is being sold for elsewhere.
Websites like trolley.co.uk let you compare thousands of products’ based on their online prices.
And if Discount Dragon doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, there are other online supermarkets out there selling discounted items.
One such website is Motatos, where you can also buy surplus or short-dated stock.
