Tesco is getting into the festive spirit five months early, thanks to its latest offer.

The supermarket is stocking huge tubs of Cadbury Heroes chocolates for a fiver.

Tesco's deal was spotted by savvy customers on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page, and it has already attracted thousands of likes, shares and comments since it was posted yesterday.

However, some shoppers think it's too early to start thinking about Christmas.

Group member, Sarah Louise wrote: "Ridiculous.... no wonder. By the time it's actually December most people are fed up with Xmas . . ."

Meanwhile, Maria Ward posted: "Just get August out the way and then it’ll start."

And Elaine Ward said: "Not even had my holiday yet."

But not all of the comments were negative, with some shoppers pointing out they'd already made a start on their Christmas shopping.

Lauren Whitmore said: "Oh my god!!!!!!! Let’s start wrapping presents now!!"

And Sharon Burke added: "OMG done most of my Christmas shopping already u can never be too early."

The offerings come with an assortment of Cadbury's chocolates, including Dairy Milk, Twirl, Cadbury Caramel, Wispa and much more.

You can also find them in selected stores nationwide.
