Although it is only mid-summer, shoppers were surprised to find Christmas chocolate on the shelves.

If you like chocolate coins, you're in luck because Asda is selling Cadbury Christmas coins in classic milk chocolate.

Production of this cult product was discontinued in 2014 and some dissatisfied fans even started a petition to have it reintroduced.

The chocolate coins are all the same size and have a pretty Santa Claus motif and are made from wonderfully soft, milky and creamy milk chocolate.

A shopper spotted the product and shared the offer in the Facebook group 'B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More', saying: “Cadbury Milk Chocolate Coins are back at Asda!!”

One person commented: “Asda gets first place for the best Christmas chocolate!! I only have Tesco.”

Another wrote: “Bought one from the shop in Great Yarmouth yesterday. It's not even Christmas yet and it's only the beginning of August.”

Someone else added: “Earlier and earlier every year. Let's at least finish summer first.”

One person commented: “Saw these today, bought some and already ate them.”

According to Asda's website, the coins are available for £1.65 per 70g bag.

You can also buy them from Cadbury Gifts Direct for £2.19.

Many supermarkets also offer their own branded coins to compete with the popular Cadbury coins at Christmas.

Shopper discovers Christmas puddings reduced to 29p at Aldi and snaps up ten, but is mocked for her “pure greed”

Cadbury's milk chocolate Christmas biscuits aren't the only festive treats on store shelves right now.

Mince pies were on offer at Morrisons last month and customers were quick to respond online.

The news was shared on the Newfoodsuk page, where the shopper said: “Mince pies are back at Morrisons!!”

One avid mince pies lover called the treats “the best ever,” while another described them as “delicious.”

Foodies were also left speechless when they discovered boxes of Celebrations and packets of Quality Street for sale at Morrisons.

Shoppers at Asda also rushed to buy the original Cadbury Christmas Puds.

Last month, Quality Street chocolate tubs were spotted stacked on a wooden pallet at the Tesco store in Newmarket.

Although it's still a long way from time to hang up the stockings, one shopper pointed out that they make perfect end-of-school-year gifts.

In a Facebook post, the buyer commented: “Quality Street is in charge of end of year teacher gifts.”

How to save money when buying chocolate

We all love a piece of chocolate every now and then, but you don't have to spend a fortune to buy your favorite bar.

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…

Go for private label – If you don't care about taste and just want to satisfy your chocolate cravings, you can save money by buying the supermarket's own-brand bars.

shopping spree – If you have discovered your favorite variety in the supermarket, be sure to check whether you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

Websites like Trolley.co.uk allow you to compare prices of products from all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.

Look for yellow stickers – Supermarket employees stick yellow, sometimes orange and red stickers on the products to indicate that they are reduced in price.

This usually happens when the product is nearing its expiration date or the packaging is slightly damaged.

Buy larger bars – Usually, but not always, the larger the bar of chocolate, the cheaper it is per 100g.

So if you are hungry and were going to buy a large amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well order a larger portion.
