Deals that don't take the biscuit

At the most wonderful time of the year, lots of households see different generations sitting around the table to enjoy mouth-watering food together as a family. From old to young, there's always one after-dinner treat that gets even the calmest of people racing for the snack table - biscuits.

The perfect accompaniment to any cuppa, McVitie's Family Circle is a box of biscuity-goodness that is hard to beat. Containing ten different varieties ranging from classic custard creams to chocolate-covered digestives, there's plenty for everyone to enjoy.

To make things even better, from now until November 15, you can get this box of joy for just £1.99. So, whether you're hiding them away until Christmas day or enjoying the odd bourbon while no one's watching, be a smart cookie and pop down to your local SPAR store to make sure you don't miss out.

More than just a convenience store, SPAR aims to be an integral part of each and every community it sits in, and one way in which it's doing just that is through the return of Spinner Winner. With over 7,000 prizes up for grabs, the much-anticipated competition is returning to stores this December.

Keeping in mind the community spirit, unlike the majority of shops, SPAR wants to be there for you when it matters the most this winter. That's why many stores are open on Christmas Day, offering a one-stop shop for those last-minute things you forgot during the panic of December.

While you're there, why not treat yourself to a bottle of bubbly to enjoy when the kids have gone to bed, or a tub of your favourite chocolates to indulge in during the King's speech.

Christmas cocktails wouldn't be complete without mixers, and Santa's toys are no fun without batteries. Don't forget, your local SPAR will be open on Christmas day for all those essential items you can't do without
