David took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share his bargain find, as well as posting the receipt which showed he'd picked up several of the bars.
"Looks like Sainsbury's are having a final clear out of Easter chocolate!" he wrote of his haul.
However, others in the comments section were left more than a little envious of his supermarket find.
"No Easter chocolates been hanging around our Sainsburys or any other supermarket for weeks," one sighed.
"I'm jealous, though my ever growing weight is not!"
The Milkybar Mini Eggs bar was first launched in Christmas 2022, and has since become a favourite for many chocoholics.
Described as "creamy white chocolate with crunchy mini eggs inclusions", it also has "no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives".
And fans have been taking to the Internet to rave about the bars - which usually cost around £1.50 each.
One called it "yummy", adding "very nice chocolate, nice crunchy mini eggs inside".
While another praised the "eye catching wrapper", and wrote: "Well done Milkybar!

"Brought a few days ago and grabbed a couple more - definitely my Easter favourite!"
"My son loves this chocolate, so I always buy this when I see it is available," a third added.
"I wasn't sure if you should mess with a Milkybar but oh it's good!" someone else insisted.
"Buy it and try it!"
"Lovely but too nice," another joked.
"In my opinion not suitable for sharing!"
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
And one chocolate expert recently said that white chocolate is "having a renaissance" at the moment.
"White chocolate has gotten a bad rap because previously so much of it included other, cheaper fats (like vegetable oil) and were way too sweet, but it's having a renaissance of its own right now, with so many small-batch makers and chocolatiers creating delicious versions," Megan Giller, author of Bean-to-Bar Chocolate: America's Craft Chocolate Revolution, told MarthaStewart.com.
She added that because of its mild flavour, "it's the perfect canvas to showcase other flavors, like raspberries, lemon, or even olives!"

David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub
David Beckham shared an update on 'family' after more speculation of a Brooklyn Beckham rift as the former footballer made a business announcement on social media David Beckham took to Instagram to share his latest "family" news amid a fallout with son Brooklyn Beckham. While his home life has been grabbing the headlines, it's his Bee Up Snacks that the former footballer was keen to rave about in his latest upload. Sharing a nu,ber snap from his Inter Miami stadium, Becks wrote: "Excited to welcome the @intermiamicf_academy to the @beeupsnacks family. "This project has always been about fuelling kids with a snack that uses a natural source of energy… so to bring BEEUP and youth sports together is something I've been passionate about from the start @beeupsnacks." Among those liking and commenting on his post was the club's academy, with the official account writing: "Fueling dreams together!" His new business was formed five years ago when Beckham was said to have become obsessed with beekeeping during lockdown. The brand's website reveals why the sports star first produced the products. It reads: "As a father and former athlete, it's always been important to me to give my kids wholesome alternatives to sweets. That's why I created BEEUP—a new snack brand rooted in honey, my love for family, and active living." However, while mentioning his kids in the blurb, it's thought Becks and eldest son Brooklyn are still at loggerheads and not speaking to each other. In the latest heartbreak for Becks and his wife Victoria Beckham involving Brooklyn, 26, the duo weren't invited to their son's renewal of his vows to wife Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn and Nicola flooded their social media pages with cosy snaps of their vow renewal surrounded by family recently. However, rather crucially nobody from Brooklyn's side appeared to have been invited to the nuptials. In the sweet photos, bride Nicola was seen surrounded by her loved ones. She also wore her mum's wedding dress to honour her. Nicola's dad Nelson also took a starring role in the ceremony as he officiated the proceedings as the couple gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. But as renewed their vows just three years after getting married in a $3million bash at the Peltz family's sea front estate in Florida, no other Beckhams were in sight. Despite the distance between the parties, David and Victoria have maintained a stoic bond with their eldest son - regularly liking his Instagram photos and including them in their posts, even though they are not talking. Brooklyn's absence from David's 50th birthday had already fuelled talk of a rift, but sources claim their son's latest move 'was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.' An insider has claimed to the Sun that David and his wife Victoria, 51, have been left heartbroken after learning about the vow renewal online. "Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially," they said. "Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them. "It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back."

Lily Allen moving out of swanky New York pad after sad David Harbour split
Smile star, Lily Allen, used to share a New York townhouse with her ex, Stranger Things star, David Harbour, but now they've split up, she's made a huge change Lily Allen has confirmed she's moving out of her home in New York following her split with David Harbour. The Smile star, 40, and Stranger Things actor, 50, got hitched in 2020, but called it quits last year amid reports of David's infidelity. Mum-of-two, Lily, bought the art deco home in Brooklyn with David shortly after their nuptials in Vegas and it even featured in posh magazine, Architectural Digest, thanks to its impressive features and stylish decor. However, Lily, has now left the property and bought an ex-council flat in London, where she's been busy throwing herself into decorating, which she says has 'helped' her through her 'hard time'. It comes as the star was spotted in the capital, wearing a diamond band on her wedding finger. READ MORE: Princess Andre eyes up Kylie Jenner empire as Katie Price says she's been 'shut out' Lily told The Mirror that she's been taking inspiration from interior design magazines for her new pad, which is believed to be in Notting Hill, sharing: "I'm really enjoying those at the moment. I've obviously had quite a hard time and that's really helped me." She also spoke about her new purchase, which she'll live in with her two daughters, on her Miss Me? podcast back in March, as she chatted to co-host Miquita Oliver. She shared: "This flat that I've bought, is in a social housing building, I have kind of given myself a 'get out' clause because it is slap bang in the area which I grew up in, so I don't feel like I am coming from outside and coming into the area and gentrifying it." Lily added: "I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it's been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did. But I know people have got judgement around it." With Parisian-inspired rooms and an enormous walk-in wardrobe, Lily's former townhouse was a sight to behold. However, the singer admitted she felt 'incredibly low' and lonely in New York as she opened up about her break-up. The Londoner, who confirmed her split from David in January, revealed that she felt 'extremely heavy' as she 'doesn't have that much to do here' in the city. She moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters in local schools. However, it's now all over for the couple, with Lily now back in Blighty and reportedly signed up to exclusive dating app Raya in an effort to move on from her marriage. She has already been romantically linked to actor James Norton. However, it was recently reported that he had been getting cosy with someone else. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: "James and his female pal certainly didn't care who was looking. They were happy sitting outside the bar getting very cosy with one another despite the scorching temperatures across London." They added: "At one point, the woman was seen resting her hand on James' bare knees as they engaged in a deep conversation. It's a stark contrast from his recent date with Lily Allen, but it's clear that he's not short of female attention."

Taylor Swift's 12th album theories explained by superfans
Taylor Swift has revealed she is set to release her twelfth album, which will be titled The Life of a Showgirl. The 35-year-old iconic singer is fresh off the back of the Eras Tour where she performed across the globe in one of the most impressive and highly publicised music tours ever. While the singer only released her eleventh album, The Tortured Poets Department, last year, she has stunned fans by announcing a new album is imminent. Enlisting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, Swift teased her upcoming appearance on the brothers' mega-popular New Heights podcast with a clip announcing the album title. In the video, which was shared on Instagram at 12.12am ET on Tuesday, Taylor said: 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' The cover art for the record remained obscured in the clip, but blurred images and clues suggest that a glittery orange will be the defining shade of this era, with Travis covered in golden confetti at the end of the clip. Travis exclaimed at the end of the snippet: 'TS12!' Fans have scrambled to work out some of the Easter eggs the star has dropped about the album so far, with a variety of plausible and completely far-fetched theories coming out of the woodwork. Here's a breakdown of some of the leading fan theories from Swifties. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Our Tay-Tay isn't afraid of a genre shift. Starting off as a country star, she moved into a more mainstream pop vibe, but has explored other genres throughout her music career. Her 'sister' albums, Folklore and Evermore, released in 2020 and 2021 respectively, had a more folksy feel, with her 2022 release Midnights changing the tempo for a more upbeat pop album. She brought things back to a mid-tempo emotional album with her blockbuster 31-song album, The Tortured Poets Department, in 2024. This will be Taylor's twelfth album (excluding live albums and Swift's remade albums). Orders for the album will be sent out before October 13. The album is called The Life of a Showgirl. The album is linked to the colours orange and green. Swiftie superfan and Metro music reporter, Danni Scott, told Metro that she thinks TS12 is set to be an upbeat pop album for a few reasons. 'Taylor tends to do a colourful pop album, and then her more deep-divey albums tend to be black and white or muted tones. So the glittery orange suggests it's going to be very poppy. She then reflected on the singer's Era's Tour and the use of orange in her wardrobe. 'I mean, on The Era's Tour, her most sort of glittery orange outfits were worn during Lover and 1989 and Midnight. I think if she were Easter egging, as she loves to do, those albums were the ones that had orange outfits.' Danni even suggested that the new album will be much like her fifth studio album, which was her most straightforward pop-heavy album. 'I think her sound has probably matured quite a lot since 1989, and I think Taylor is very chart hungry in this era that she is in. She knows anything she releases will go to the top of the charts, but I think she probably wants a bit of a safe bet, as Tortured Poets wasn't well reviewed when it initially came out, so my gut is saying we're gonna get 1989 but with deeper, more emotional songs.' She added: '1989 2.0. That's my prediction.' And Danni isn't alone in her pop-album hypothesis, with fans echoing her predictions online. 'The life of a showgirl is 1989s mature employed fun cool older sister I can just feel it,' said alIiesversion on X. The artwork remains a mystery, but it seems that the colours orange and green will be prominently featured. Taylor's website now displays a mysterious blurred orange and green cover, alongside options to purchase CD, cassette and vinyl versions of the album. Behind Taylor on the New Heights podcast set were several books with covers in orange hues. The books featured the works of modernist and neo-expressionist artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall and Ruth Asawa, as well as abstract painter Mark Rothko. Fans also spotted that Taylor may have hinted at the colour scheme in her Midnights album when she released the music video for Anti-Hero. A grab from the video showed Taylor dressed in white with a bow in her hair, in keeping with her TTPD look, and another in an orange and green glittery showgirl look – could this be a The Life of A Showgirl hint? Along with the orange colour scheme, green has also been showcased on Taylor's website, with fans hypothesising that the two shades could have a deeper meaning. Some have suggested that the colours symbolise copper before and after oxidation – best highlighted by the Statue of Liberty. 'The colour scheme is copper oxidizing because a showgirl is on a pedestal for the world and over time, in the public eye they lose their shine… the weathering from being the target for the world's misogyny. #TheLifeOfAShowgirl' said fearlesskait on X. 'Exposure to air causes copper to oxidize, from orange to pale green. 'The Life of a Showgirl' is to be exposed to the world—to be put on a pedestal and observed as you change, judged as you lose your luster. Our tortured poet w/ the metaphors can't wait to listen! #taylorswift,' added camitwomeyy. Fans have spotted that searching 'Ts12' on TikTok results in orange confetti exploding across the screen. While the orange colour scheme of the album is all but confirmed now, it's a fun little addition for fans that adds to the excitement of the album's release. The Clean singer has hinted she has worked with Max Martin and Shellback on this album. Soon after the announcement landed, billboards appeared in New York and Nashville advertising the pop idol's new Spotify playlist, And, baby, that's show business for you. All 22 tracks are songs from her back catalogue produced by the two studio wizards, who she worked with on the albums Red, 1989, and Reputation, suggesting that they could be the makers of the new album. Additionally, the album features some of Taylor's most well-received pop hits, including 22, Blank Space, End Game, Style, Wildest Dreams, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Before announcing the title of her twelfth album, Taylor Nation, aka the Official Taylor Swift Social Team, shared 12 images of Taylor in orange costumes during her era tour. Many connected the dots that the number of images in the post was related to a new album release, but fans also couldn't help but notice that another singer made an appearance in the post. Sabrina, who performed on the Eras tour as an opening act appeared in the twelfth and final image of the post. Could this mean that she is set to appear in the twelfth song on the album? Or was her inclusion a red herring? Supporting the rumour that she might appear, Sabrina shared a carousel image on social media of herself hanging underwear. The July 7th post from Sabrina showed a number of pastel-coloured underwear, and a bright orange pair of knickers – could this be related to the main colour in Swift's new aesthetic? She also captioned the post: 'Go put on some clothes!' The quote was famously featured in one of the sketches between the two artists during the Eras Tour. Gigi Hadid then commented on the post: 'But daddy I have nothing to wear ! !' Fans immediately speculated that this was linked to Swift's song But Daddy I Love Him, assuming Gigi had insider knowledge. 'WHAT DO U KNOW GIGI?,' said Hometoswift. 'IS THAT A LYRIC GIGI ???????' said Candyce-ee on the post. An official release date has yet to be confirmed, but Taylor's website confirmed orders will be sent out before October 13. Of course, fans have already begun speculating about the actual release date. 'The life of a showgirl is coming 10th or 17th October,' said bejeweledress. More Trending One fan posted a thread on X about why they believe the album would be shared on September 12th, linking to the time the website crashed, the time the Taylor Nation post was shared. 'Taylor's website went down at exactly 9:12pm, commencing a countdown to the announcement!!' they said. 'Taylor Nation also first teased the era by a post 'Thinking about how she said see you next era' posted at exactly 9:12pm that same day.' 'So with all of this being said I think we can confidently say something is happening on the 12th whether it's a single, or the album.' We will have to wait and see! Got a story?
