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.

Sanders transferred from Jackson State to play under father Deion and alongside brother Shedeur.

After graduating, Sanders was not selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 6ft star was subsequently signed to a three-year, $2.97 million contract by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With the college football season approaching, Sanders decided to give back to his alma mater, who are still coached by his father.

Tawfiq Thomas shared a video to social media of Buffaloes stars receiving their gifts.

The lineman was clearly thrilled to become the proud new owner of an Apple Watch.

Thomas said, “Apple Watch after workout, yes sir, Shilo! Yes sir, Shilo!”

The Buffaloes are set to begin their season on August 29 against Georgia Tech.

Sanders and the Buccaneers, meanwhile, will get their NFL campaign underway against the Atlanta Falcons on September 7.

Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles has already been impressed by his new acquisition.

Bowles, 61, gushed over Sanders’ qualities on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

He said, “I think he’s a good football player.

“He’s a heck of a tackler and he knows the game very well; he can see the game very well.

“So giving him a chance to play, we think he has a shot to help us from a safety standpoint and from a special teams standpoint.

“I saw him tackle all year. I saw him make plays.

“So we thought it was worth a shot to see what he can do.

“And I think he’ll show himself well.”

Sanders’ brother Shedeur had been expected to go in the top 10 of the draft, but shockingly fell at the way to the fifth round.

He was finally taken 144th by the Cleveland Browns.

Girl, 15, mauled to death trying to feed ‘up to 40’ starving dogs after locals warned about beasts running wild

A TEEN girl has been killed after trying to feed up to 40 starving dogs. 

Makayla Fortner, a promising soccer star, was suddenly attacked when she tried to help the animals at a home in Arkansas on Wednesday.

Locals in the neighborhood located in Alexander had warned how the animals had been running amok.

Furious neighbors claimed the dogs had been out of control, as reported by the ABC affiliate KATV-TV.

They alleged the animals had been malnourished by their owners. 

Heidi Clay, a local, told the outlet the animals were not well treated.

“These dogs were very vicious at the fence to the point that no one wanted to let their children walk to and from the bus stop,” she said.

Fortner, 15, was attacked when she just tried to feed between 30 and 40 dogs with her mom, Stephanie Wilkie.

Cops swooped on the scene and one officer opened fire in a bid to get the dogs away from the fence.

Ralph Murphy, a local, revealed he saw a body on the ground.

“He pulled out his pistol and shot into the ground twice, and the dogs ran,” he said

“Then he walked over and looked down and turned around and walked back. 

“Then I moved and saw a body on the ground.”

Days before the attack, Wilkie wrote on Facebook how she had found herself in a “hoarding situation.”

In the post, she put an appeal out, saying that animals needed spay, neutered, and wormed.

She was trying to raise money for vet costs.

Wilkie has not yet spoken out about her daughter’s death.

TRIBUTES POUR IN

Tributes have been paid to Fortner in light of her death.

She played for the Bryant Lady Hornet soccer school sports side and the team paid a glowing tribute.

“This week we lost one of our own,” a post shared on the team’s Facebook page said.

“Many knew Makayla as a classmate, a friend, and a teammate.

“She was part of our family. A kind, caring, hardworking, and passionate girl. She will be greatly missed.”

Erin Bowman, a family friend, described Fortner as a girl who had the “kindest soul.”

“Her smile could light up a room, and her laughter was the kind that made others feel instantly at ease,” she said.

Bowman said the teenager was “deeply loved.”

Cops revealed 14 dogs were removed from the property and euthanized and are investigating the attack.

More than $25,000 has been donated to a fundraiser that was created by Bowman.

The attack happened just months after little Eliziah Turner was mauled to death by one of her family’s pitbulls in Columbus, Ohio.

In March, LaVonne Hoff, who suffered from dementia, died after being attacked by 24 dogs.

Last year, Davina Corbin, of California, was mauled by a pack of 25 Great Danes. 

Her body was found on a remote hiking trail in Sacramento and police said that her clothes had some of the dogs’ DNA on them.
