Even if you’re doing things last minute you can still pick up some lush chocolates without splashing the cash.

From Tesco to Asda, Card Factory to Sainsbury’s a number of retailers are offering sweet treats that won’t break the bank.

Of course, remember to compare the prices as deals can change at the last minute.
You can use websites like Trolley.co.uk or the Google Shopping tab to compare prices of thousands of items.
