Airport chocolates are no sweet deal
Treats such as a 400g bar of Toblerone can cost as much as 5 in duty free compared with 2 at Asda, a survey by comparison site
mySupermarket.co.uk found.
A 400g box of Cadbury Roses can cost 5.50 in duty free compared with 2.69 at Sainsbury's, and a 400g Lindor offering costing 10.50 at duty free can be had for 6 at Ocado.

However, the survey also revealed that alcohol remains a relatively good deal at duty free outlets.
For example, one litre bottle of Famous Grouse whisky costs 12.99 at duty free but as much as 17 at Sainsbury's.
MySupermarket.co.uk spokesman Jonny Steel said: "Many holidaymakers are still under the illusion that products in duty free always represent good value which is sadly not always the case.
