MERRY CRISP-MAS

B&M is selling a Pringles advent calendar this year

FORGET chocolate and boring festive treats, B&M is selling an advent calendar filled with tubes of Pringles.

The discounter is stocking a 12-door Christmas countdown filled with four different flavours of the popular snack.

Crisp lovers will be able to crunch their way through tubes of original, sour cream and chive, salt and vinegar and Texas BBQ Pringles.

The new advent calendar features three of each flavour and is available now in B&M stores nationwide for £7.99.

This works out at around 66p per 40g tube of Pringles, which is cheaper than the 90p they cost each in .

But the larger, 200g version are currently priced at £1.25 in , meaning you'll get more for your money by buying three tubes at £3.75.

You’ve been eating Pringles all wrong… What's the correct way?

This will give you 600g of Pringles for that price, whereas the calendar gives you 480g while costing £4.24 more.

But you won't get the fun of being able to open each door as you countdown the days until Christmas.

If you're sold on the calendar, you can .

Sadly, you won't be able to buy it online.

They also might not be the healthiest way to start your day, as each tube contains between 201 and 206 calories and 0.5g and 1.8g of sugar.

But if you usually mark the festive season with a chocolate each morning, chances are the calories and sugar count might not be that different.

We couldn't find the Pringles advent calendar being sold in any UK supermarket but we did find one on being sold for £12.99.

B&M is also selling a Millions advent calendar, as well as a Hershey's one for fans of American chocolate.
