BARGAIN hunters can get ahead of the game for Christmas with this GIANT box of Celebrations that costs £16 from Amazon.

The online retail giant is running a bank holiday sale and has knocked £4.70 off the price of the box of sweets, which are down from £20.70.

• Celebrations Bulk Case, 2.432 kg, £16 (was £20.70 – save £4.70) – buy now

The huge boxes weigh almost 2.5kg which is almost equal to four of the 650g tins.

Normally, the tins cost a fiver in the build up to Christmas so you'll actually only be saving £4 by getting them five months early.

The retailer started stocking the giant boxes last year and it's not even the best price they've ever been.

Back in October last year, the prices dropped to £14.93 – which is a much better deal especially when you compare it to the price of the 650g tins.

The deal would make it equal to four for the price of three of the tins.

Savvy shoppers have until September 5 to snap up the deal.

Amazon is kicking off the sale early, a week before the bank holiday and has discounts across fashion, tech, food and booze.

They're also running a deal on a MASSIVE Toblerone bar that weighs 4.5kg – but it'll set you back £60.

Baffled shoppers have already spotted Tesco selling festive boxes of Quality Street and Heroes even though it's only August.

It might feel like Tesco is ahead of the game this year but they actually stocked the sweets in August last year too.

Some savvy shoppers won't need to buy any of the tins this year because they managed to stock up on them in January when Tesco was selling them for a mouthwatering £1.25.

How to make sure you get the best deals in the Amazon sales

ALTHOUGH some of the deals might look great, it’s important to know whether they’re actually any good before parting with your cash. Here are a few things you can do to make sure you’re not going to be ripped-off

• Check CamelCamelCamel to check the product's price history to see if you really are getting a good deal, or whether you could get a better one later if you held out. You can also set up price alerts to let you know when the cost drops.
• Use FakeSpot to check whether the item is genuine or not. The site scans the reviews to see if they're "reliable" or not so you can decide whther you trust the seller.
• Sign up to the 30 day Amazon Prime trial to take advantage of the Lightning Deals and free delivery. But remember to cancel the subscription before the trial is up or you'll be charged the full £79.
• Put the items you want in your basket ahead of the sales so that when the deals drop, all you'll have to do is pay.
