Supermarkets Are Selling Packs Of Crispy Rolls Cheaper Than Online Retailers

Chocolate is great, I think we can all agree. Me, I'm a man of refined tastes: Fry's Chocolate Cream, 90% Cacao Dark, Bournvilles. In chocolating terms, a 75-year-old man in a cardigan, enjoying one corner a day. It's all I need.

For others, well, it's a little different. There are those who can't open a packet of Mini-Eggs without scranning the whole bag, those who eat four KitKat Chunky bars like they won't eat again for months and those, horror of horrors, who dunk their chips in their Creme Eggs (in fairness, they're not totally animals: the Maccies chip in the Chocolate Milkshake is a hangover classic... It's just that the consistency of the Creme Egg isn't conducive to a solid dunk).

To get to the point: if you are a person who likes chocolate - and if you aren't, what the hell's wrong with you? - then you're in for a treat.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls are one of the most underrated choccies out there. And, it turns out, pretty damn cheap.

While most chocolate bars work out cheaper if you bulk buy them from wholesalers, Milky Way Crispy Rolls are one of the few that are rooting for the little guy - the chocoholic that wants to merely fuel their own addiction, not stock an entire corner shop.

You, basically.

If you were to buy a pack of 24 online, for instance, you're looking at spending around £12.29 ($16.43) for a box of 24. Not a box of 24 packets, but 24 individual bars. If you do the maths, that works out as just over 50p a bar.

Amazon

Elsewhere, though, you can buy a pack of five bars for a quid in supermarkets or shops like Poundland or Home Bargains. That works out as precisely 20p a bar - over half that of the wholesale price. SCORE.

Hell, even Ocado, which is linked with Waitrose, sells them for £1 a box.

Tesco

I do feel, perhaps as a man who eats corners of chocolates rather than the whole thing, that in times like this, we must turn to Jurassic Park for inspiration.

As the A-Lister Jeff Goldblum said: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Replace dinosaurs with Milky Way Crispy Rolls and you get the point.
