Chocolate lovers rave as Cadbury slashes Easter egg prices to as little as 65p with up to 80% off sale
CADBURY has slashed the price of its Easter eggs to as little as 65p in a huge sale. Discounts as large as 80 per cent off have excited chocolate lovers across the UK who are now rushing to snap up the incredible deal. The discounts were spotted by a keen-eyed shopper and shared on Facebook. Across Cadbury's online store, Easter eggs have been heavily discounted, just two weeks after Easter Sunday celebrations. Attracting the biggest saving is Cadbury's 195g Creme Egg Chocolate Easter Egg, which has been reduced by a whopping 80 per cent. Instead of its usual £7.49 price tag, shoppers can nab it for the steal of a price of just £1.49. A number of delicious treats have earned a similarly hefty price cut of 73 per cent, including Cadbury's Easter eggs in flavours such as Caramilk, Orange Twirl, and Wispa. While these luxurious snacks, which weigh just under 200g, will typically set you back £7.99, they are now selling for the bargain price of just £1.99. Also earning a good discount are Cadbury's White Chocolate individual Creme Eggs, which now cost just 65p. If you're feeling like stocking up on Easter egg supplies, you can also get your hands on one of the larger discounted packs. Cadbury has reduced the price of its 12-pack Caramel Egg and Creme Egg bundle by a tasty 43 per cent. Instead of the usual £105.48, shoppers only need to pay £60 to grab the dozen treats. On top of this, Cadbury's Minis Mix Chocolate Eggs Bag, which contains 12 packets, each weighing 238g, has seen its price slashed. The 63 per cent saving sees its price reduced from £80.28 to a staggering £29.88 for nearly 3kg of chocolate. This comes just days after chocolate fans spotted a discontinued Cadbury treat, among other slashed-price Easter chocolates, at a Sainsbury's store. The bargain bonanza was spotted at one of the supermarket's outlets in Hereford, where treats including the Cadbury Daim Mini Eggs were scanning for as little as 18p. The Easter treat has returned after the Christmas version, Dairy Milk Robins was discontinued, leaving shoppers at the time gutted. Other treats included the Kinder Mini Eggs which were available for 15p, as well as 5 pack of Creme Eggs selling for 40p. SHOPPERS are scrambling to get to a major supermarket as boxes of chocolates have been slashed. So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're on a mission to cut costs where possible, we've found just the thing. And you've got a sweet tooth and fancy stocking your cupboards with tasty snacks, then you'll need to check this out. One chocolate fan was left open-mouthed when browsing in her local supermarket, when she noticed that boxes of Celebrations had been massively reduced. Thrilled with her find, which Cathy Pennington spotted in a Tesco store in Altrincham, the bargain hunter took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 805,900 members, Cathy shared a snap of the cheap treats, which many of us can't get enough of during the festive season. Alongside her post, she simply beamed: ' Tesco £1.50.' The 300g variety boxes of chocolates were once priced at £5.35, but have since been slashed down to only £1.50. In this large box, you'll find all of the iconic favourites - Snickers, Twix, Mars, Malteasers, Milky Way, Bounty, Galaxy, and Galaxy Caramel. The milk chocolate treats are still marked at £5.35 online, but if you fancy saving £3.85, then you'll need to move fast. One eagle-eyed shopper took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to share the haul. They posted: 'In my local Sainsbury's – Creme Eggs 5 pack, 40p. Kinder Mini Eggs, 15p. Daim Mini Eggs, 18p. (Hertford). Still lots left.' The post sent social media into meltdown, with choc lovers tagging mates and planning their next supermarket dash. One replied: 'Omg 40p creme eggs xxxxx.' Another said: 'Get to Sainsbury's lol.' A third added: 'Loads of eggs in my nearest one.'
