WHSmith is offering customers the Cadbury Dairy Milk calendar and the Malteasers advent calendar at £1 each.

To get the deal, shoppers have to spend at least £10 in stores.

“The countdown is almost here – have you got your Advent Calendar yet?” the stationary and book retailer excitedly asked customers on Facebook.

With less than a week to go until December 1, those who haven’t already sorted their calendars should do so quickly.

But, if you want to make the most of the WHSmith bargain, perhaps by picking up some Christmas gifts at the same time, you will have to be quick.

The £1 advent calendar deal is only on from today until November 28.

For those wondering what to buy to be eligible for the £1 Christmas essential, WHSmith has shared the range of signed biographies they are selling this year, which will make the perfect gift for book lovers.

Sports fans may want a signed copy of cricketer Jamie Anderson’s autobiography Finding the Edge, or Guenther Steiner’s Unfiltered.

Or, if you like Clarkson’s Farm, you may want the signed edition of Kaleb Cooper‘s It’s A Farming Thing.

Those looking for an inspirational read may want Strictly Come Dancing‘s Amy Downden’s book Dancing in the Rain or Jane McDonald‘s Let the Light In.

But, if you can’t think of anything else to buy at WHSmith, you do not have to miss out on a cheap advent calendar.

Here are some price comparisons for the Cadbury and Malteaser calendars:

Malteaser Advent Calendar:

  • Lidl: £2.49
  • Tesco: £2.75 or £2.45 with a Clubcard
  • Asda: £2.50
  • Morrisons: £3.25
  • Sainsbury’s: £3.50 or £2.50 with a Nectar Card

Cadbury Advent Calendar:

  • Tesco: £2.50 or £1.50 with Clubcard
  • Asda: £2.00
  • Morrisons: £2.75
  • Sainsbury’s: £2.25 or £1.75 with Nectar

The Sun previously reported on which retailer is selling the Cadbury calendar for the best price, but this result changes if you were going to buy items of over £10 at WHSmith before the deal was announced.

If you are looking for something different but for a good price, Home Bargains is selling an iconic kids calendar for just 99p.

On the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, one shopper shared how they found the Milky Bar calendar for less than £1 and bought two.

Not only that, but the retailer is also selling KitKat advent calendars for the same jaw-dropping price.

Prices tend to fluctuate in the run-up to the festive period, so it’s worth keeping a close eye on your local stores for new deals.

If you want something with something a bit extra then why not try the Terry Chocolate Orange calendar?

Currently, the best place to go for that is Morrisons or Sainsbury’s where is it £2.50.
