B&M have the best range of spreads to top your pancakes. Anything you want, they’ve got… probably. Just don’t be duped by the branded stuff, own brands are just as good for half the price.
We did the maths so you don’t have to: your own batch of chocolate-topped pancakes comes in a the bargain price of £4.23. Just think of how cheap that is split between the flat!

Tesco offers a range of toppings, pre-made mixes as well as squeezy bottles to help achieve the perfect pancake. Student to student: get yourself a Clubcard. It really does save you cash.
For my go-to pancake, it totalled under £5. Can you get any better than chocolate and bananas pancakes?
4. Home Bargains 
Home Bargains have various types of pancake mixes, from American style pancakes to traditional crepes. The cheapest is just 79p, and all you have to add is milk. A score for all of you students that can barely cook pasta!
Baking utensils are also available in store, so keep an eye out.
5. Aldi
Aldi has put a nice touch on pancake day this year, offering emoji shaped pans at £9.99.
But f you want to be basic, they’re selling original pancake mixes at a low cost of 95p. Or, put on your chefs hat and make your pancakes from scratch. There’s no cheaper place to buy your essentials!
Be sure to look out for the maple syrup they have on the shelves, it’s delicious.
