Thanks to supermarket deals that usually shoot up at this time of year it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg either.

We've taken a closer look at what's on offer this year to find you the best value for cash on your sparklers, rockets and finale boxes.

So far, Aldi, Costco and Lidl are the only retailers that have released details of their ranges and Tesco is expected to launch its range on Tuesday (October 15) where prices will range from £5 to £100.

We expect more retailers to follow suit over the next few weeks so we'll update this round up when we know more.

Rockets, £7.99: A pack of seven standard Dyno rockets costs £7.99, making each firework cost £1.14. They are on offer for three for £20, so you'll be saving £3.97 in the deal.

Finale box, £39.99: Back this year is the Beefeater crowd pleaser. It contains red and green brocade explosions, glitter bursts and golden palms.

The display lasts 45 seconds and will only need to be lit once. Guidelines say you'll need to stand at least 25 meters away once the box goes off.
