In true tradition I am again on the case of the annual Xmas swindle that is Celebrations or Heroe's Chocolates.
The 2012 rant can be found here.

This year I have decided to take on the big boys and design my own chocolate selection box at a fraction of the price.
First of all pop along to your local Lidl which is all the rage right now, and purchase the above item.
Contents are 5 of each of the above. 30 mini bars of chocolate.
Cost 2 euros 20 cents, or £1-80 at current exchange rates.
They are the exact replica of well known chocolate bars.
On the left hand side top to bottom are the equals of Twix, Mars Bar, Bounty, and on the right, Topic, Milky Way, and Picnic.
Now for the clever part. Unwrap every bar in the pack and..
...cut each bar into 4, giving you 120 bite size pieces of chocolate..
You then wrap each piece in a bit of tin foil...
It can take a little while but the result and money saving is worth it.
You then bring out last years empty box and you fill it with your hand wrapped sweets.
A tin of Heroe's or Celebrations cost £5 as a rule and you get 140 sweets. For £3-60 you will get 240 sweets.
Genius or what.
Also the greatest "pro" of this idea is that when people come round and you hand the chocs out, all are wrapped the same, so that greedy little shit who takes out all his own personal favourites can't do so.
As a bonus tip, 3 out of the 6 varieties of the selected chocolates contain nuts.
Why not pass the chocs round and have a game of anaphylactic roulette with a member of the family who has an allergy.
MERRY XMAS CHOCOLATE LOVERS.
One in the eye for Cadbury's and Mars I think you will agree.
