Huge sale launched including Cadbury and Mars favourites with prices starting at just 10p
CHOCOLATE lovers can bag great discounts on their favourite seasonal sweet treats in a huge clearance sale this week.
Poundland is getting rid of some of its Christmas and Valentine's Day stock - meaning shoppers can grab some pretty sweet bargains.
Maltesers Reindeer Chocolates are selling for just 10p, down from their usual price of 70p.
Most shops have stopped stocking the chocolate reindeer now and are instead filling shelves with the Easter version (the Malteser Bunny).
However some Waitrose stores are selling 59g packs of Merryteaser Mini Reindeer for 38p.
Poundland is also selling another Christmas classic, Cadbury's Mini Snowballs, for £1.65.

Again these are a little hard to come by now, although you can get a pack of two on Amazon for £8.99.
Meanwhile the Poundland sale also includes a pack of Elizabeth Shaw Christmas Milk Chocolate Orange Honeycomb Crisp treats, down from £3 to £2.
Quality Street Matchmakers in the flavours Chocolate Hazelnut and Cool Mint are £1, down from £1.50.
The Cool Mint packs are selling for £2 on Ocado and at Sainsbury's.
They're slightly cheaper at Iceland, selling for £1.50, but the best deal is still at Poundland.
There's some post-Valentines bargains to be had in the clearance sale, too.
You can get a Valentines Salted Caramel Popcorn Candle, a Silicone Rose Ice Mould, and a Valentine Heart Money Box all for 50p each.
Or if you fancy a faux men's wedding band, that's on offer for 25p (down from £1).

You can get free standard shipping when you spend £50 or more at Poundland, otherwise it is £3.95.
Once the items are sold out they're gone, so might not see these products on the website if you check back later.
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.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
