CHRISTMAS was only a few weeks ago.
But it seems that some people are already missing the festive treats that goes hand-in-hand with the holidays.
Namely the chocolates.
And if you’re one of those people, you need to head to your local Farmfoods, where you can nab a whopping one kilogram of the loose chocolates for just £4.99.
Sowmya took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a picture of the sweets on the shelf, as she wrote alongside it: “£4.99 for 1kg of these in Farmfoods!!”
Considering the 550g tubs of Celebrations were being sold for between £5.50 and £7 at Christmas, getting double that for less than a fiver is undoubtedly a bargain and a half.
While many shoppers admitted they were going to plan a visit to Farmfoods – which has 300 stores country-wide – to see if they could grab some of the chocolates, others were less impressed.
As they argued that the variations that had been included in the bulk buy were the ones that are usually left over after Christmas is finished.
The picture showed that the bag contained loads of Twix and Bounty chocolates, as well as some Mars and Snickers.
“Seems like someone’s been going bin diving for all the ones people throw out after Xmas lol,” one person commented on the post.
“I’ve got tubs of these exact leftovers in almost every room of the house at the moment!”
“All the ones that are eaten last,” another pointed out.

“No Galaxy or Maltesers though,” someone else said.

Four in 10 (43%) selected the malty chocolate treat as their favourite, putting it ahead of Galaxy in second place on 34%.
But a mini-Mars was selected by just 18% as their favourite.
Galaxy was well-represented in the top listings, with the caramel version placing third, with Snickers in fourth.
Bounty rounded out the top five, ahead of Twix, Milky Way and then Mars.
