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.

Man tries new Cadbury colour-changing Dairy Milk bar and has complaints
Cadbury unveiled a new range of limited edition Dairy Milk chocolate bars this month for summer that have a surprise when they are chilled in the fridge and a food reviewer has shared his thoughts Chocoholics are in for a treat as Cadbury unveils its fresh, limited-edition bars perfect for summer – the Summer Edition and Iced Latte flavour Dairy Milk chocolate bars, complete with special packaging that transforms to reveal exclusive designs when chilled. Decked out in classic summer imagery featuring deck chairs and kites, the purple wrappers of these bars use thermochromic technology. The Birmingham -based confectionery giant has confirmed that once stored in the fridge, this tech comes alive, showcasing a deep blue hue along with a unique design. TikTok food critic Ishan took to the platform with his review of the novel Cadbury offering, exclaiming: "Cadbury have released new colour-changing chocolate so let's see if it actually changes colour and if it's worth the hype." Delving into the unveiling mystery, he continued: "So this is the new Cadbury chill to reveal chocolate bars that they're doing for summer and apparently you put this whole bar into the fridge and it changes colour." "Now, I'm not going to lie I have been reading the comments and apparently the packaging changes colour and not the actual chocolate like I presumed so sorry on my front." With his curiosity piqued, Ishan confessed he was "intrigued" about if the packaging would really change colour. He put it in the fridge for a few hours. When he checked out his refrigerated chocolate bar, he was somewhat let down because it "looked the same" to him but eagle-eyed TikTok viewers in his comment section noticed that the swan emblem on the wrapper had shifted from white to blue. Ishan proceeded to unwrap the iconic Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. He sampled it and noted: "The chocolate is so good though." Returning the chocolate to the fridge, he watched the swan change to a full shade of blue, although he mentioned that due to the heat that day, it was "turning back to white." His TikTok clip has racked up a staggering 2.6 million views, 98,200 likes, and more than 900 comments. A baffled user said: "Sorry but why would we care about the wrapper...I want colour changing chocolate." Another observed: "The swan changed." A third confessed their confusion: "I thought the chocolate changed colour." One sharp viewer highlighted: "It explains on the back of the packaging that only the swan changes from white to blue." Cadbury Dairy Milk's junior brand manager Mara Popa said: "This summer, Cadbury Dairy Milk is reigniting the debate around storing chocolate in the fridge." "Our new Cadbury Dairy Milk Summer Editions range features cold-activated packs, reminding consumers that chocolate is a great snacking option in the warmer weather." "Additionally, our limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte tablet is designed to excite consumers with a brand new flavour crafted for summer. "This NPD also features colour changing packaging, highlighting the chilled chocolate trend in a playful way and tapping into the debate."
