Hey get this. With 70 chocollect credits from Mars bars etc you can get an Xbox for £68.69. Now that is brilliant. Now I figure, that as a Mars bar is 30-35p you can get 3 Mars bars per pound. Now that would cost you £23 worth of Mars bars to get 70 credits. But £68.69 and £23 is £91.69. A saving of nearly £40 and with the added benefit of having 70 Mars bars. Just thought it would be worth mentioning as it makes the Xbox more attractive with such a low price.

You open up the bar and on the inside of the wrapper is a code. You slowly enter these one by one into the website. Once you have enough, you claim the Xbox offer.
They then send you a special link to the Argos website via email where the Xbox is £69.69 or whatever price it was.

Where do you have to buy the Xbox from though, oh and what do you do with all the codes once you've collected them?
Me thinks I might do this.

The Mars offer is how I paid for my XBOX.
There was an offer in my local garage - 21p per Mars, Twix, Bounty, Maltezer bag or Snickers bar which all had the chocollect offer.
I bought 70 bars costing £14.70. Add the XBOX cost of £68.69, = £83.39.
I had to open all the bars to get the codes from inside the wrappers.
So I bought loads of Maltezers, opened them all up and have stored them in a large biscuit tin. I sold about 30 bars to the people in work and they gave me the wrappers when they had finished!
A bit of hassle but worth it for the saving and I happen to love chocolate!

Be worth looking at though cos works out at only 25p each then for a mars bar
I dont know. They have the chocollect badge on them.
Will it be on multi pack bars as well thought even cheaper then?
Malteasers, snickers, twix and bounty are all part of it. The local ice crem van has mars bars for 30p, most shops seem to be around 33p and vending machines are 35 or 40p. You would not even need to eat all the chocolate to make it worth while. Besides they would keep til the end of the year.
They had to pick the most disgusting chocolate bar didn't they?
If it had been Galaxy or Aero then I might have done it.
How much do Mars Bars cost anyway?
About 35p I reckon.
About £24.50 for 70 then, not bad actually.

Who says you have to eat them?
1 mars bar contains around 250 calories (I think, correct me if I’m wrong).
It takes around 30mins of jogging to burn of 100 calories, so lets say you went to the gym burning of 1 mars bar each time. My local gym costs £3 each time I go, so that’s another £210.
But seriously, it does sound like a good deal, but I already have one (I paid full the full wack of £300).
