AUSTRALIAN dads can be spared from getting more pairs of socks and jocks.

With less than 24 hours to go, it’s not too late to get a decent, affordable gift that does not break the bank for Father’s Day.

Dads can be tough to buy for, so News Corp Australia sought out some ideas from what’s left on the shelves at Woolies, Aldi, Coles and Kmart for last minute shoppers.

SOMETHING TO EAT?

Woolies still has pre-decorated mud cakes available that are already covered in icing with the words ‘Happy Father’s Day’ and ‘Dad’ cakes. They were $7.60, but have been reduced to $5.

The mud cakes recently made headlines when they were used as a last minute wedding cake alternative, and were popular with guests.

If you’re cooking for dad on Sunday, there’s a couple of options from a $9 lamb leg roast, to a kilo of Honney Soy Chicken Wing Nibbles for $7 at Woolies too.

But ... if you’re still not taken by any of these ideas, socks and jocks can still be an option.
