EASTER is long gone, but it seems supermarkets are still struggling to get rid of all the chocolate they stocked for the holiday.
And one savvy shopper took full advantage, as they managed to nab eight huge bars of Milkybar Mini Eggs, for just 15p a pop.

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!"
