And one savvy shopper took full advantage, as they managed to nab eight huge bars of Milkybar Mini Eggs, for just 15p a pop. 2 One shopper took to Facebook to share their epic bargain from Sainsbury's Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 2 He was chuffed to find the Milkybar Mini Eggs chocolate for just 15p a bar Credit: Alamy 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! Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST "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 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 She added that because of its mild flavour, "it's the perfect canvas to showcase other flavors, like raspberries, lemon, or even olives!"

Senator Fatima Payman called out over social media post ahead of long weekend
Senator Fatima Payman has been called out over her message ahead of the long weekend. The independent West Australian Senator posted the message to social media on Good Friday, along with a photo of herself seated in the lap of a giant stuffed bear. 'Happy long weekend everyone,' Ms Payman wrote. 'If you're celebrating Easter, I hope you have an enjoyable time with family and friends.' But some Aussies were quick to hit back at Ms Payman in the comments. Though she had mentioned 'Easter' in the post, they took exception to her reference to the holiday as a 'long weekend'. 'It's happy "Easter" long weekend,' one said. 'You left out a word. You came to this country because you enjoyed what it had to offer, embrace it... don't change it.' 'Divisive,' claimed another. 'It's the Easter long weekend. Subtle provocation from one who claims to be Australia's voice.' 'If you can't even say "Happy Easter", how can you possibly promote yourself as Australia's voice,' said a third. 'Thank you but I noticed you actually avoided saying 'HAPPY EASTER', which makes me wonder whether you did that so as not to validate a Christian belief or celebration and risk alienating those that share your belief system,' a fourth said. 'That's fine, it's certainly your right to do that, but I think it's only fair that I also chose to do the same when referring to celebrations or the founder of your belief system.' But other Aussies were supportive of Ms Payman and her message. 'Thank you Senator Fatima Payman. Have a great long weekend,' one said. 'Happy long weekend to you and yours Senator Payman,' said another. A third said: 'Good luck and I'll be voting for you in the senate.' It comes after Ms Payman issued an apology earlier this year following her comments praising Iran's treatment of women in an interview with a state-owned propaganda outlet. Senator Payman, who was born and raised in neighbouring Afghanistan before moving to Australia with her family in 2003, gushed about the 'incredible place that allows 'women to participate in the workforce to ensure that they have a voice and their voices are heard'. But Ms Payman's glowing review of Iran, where the UN has found that women and girls are treated as 'second-class citizens,' was swiftly condemned online, leading to her apology days later. Ms Payman was elected as a Labor senator but left the party last year over its position on the Israel-Gaza conflict, founding the Australia's Voice party.

Rob Kardashian Comes Out Of Hiding Again After Mom's Plea To 'Come Out Of His Shell'
Thanks to the Kardashian-Jenner clan's joint celebrations, Kris Jenner's wish to get Rob Kardashian back in the spotlight finally came true this Easter. The only son of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, who has kept a low profile in recent years, made a rare appearance on Kim Kardashian's Instagram feed. The only son in the famous reality TV family looked happier than ever, posing with his loved ones for pictures. Rob Kardashian is the younger brother of the famous sister trio Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian. He is Kris Jenner's only son from her previous marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. and the older brother of Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Kim shared a carousel of images from her family's Easter celebrations on Instagram. The first image captured her rocking matching Skims Easter designed sleepwear with her mom, Kris, younger sister Khloé, and the younger Kardashian generation. There were more shots of two of Kim's children, Psalm and Chicago West, Khloé's kids, True and Tatum Thompson, and Rob's daughter, Dream Kardashian, who he shares with ex, Blac Chyna. The group got together for another shot, with Rob making a rare appearance. He donned an all-black outfit featuring a casual t-shirt and shorts while rocking white Nike socks and faux suede slippers. Rob completed his simple attire with a black baseball cap and a bright smile for the camera. The father of one posed with one hand in his pocket and the other wrapped around Kris's shoulder. The Easter photo dump offered a glimpse into the Kar-Jenner clan's celebrations, but the entire family wasn't captioned in the shots. Kim explained the noticeable absences in the post's caption, writing: "EASTER 2025. I couldn't get all the sisters, kids, aunts, cousins, and laughs in the pics, but the memories are so real. Happy Easter everyone." However, many were more concerned about Rob's appearance than the missing Kar-Jenner members. These fans celebrated his brief return to the spotlight, with radio personality Symon gushing, "BOBBY, we miss you!!!! [red heart emojis] You look great … gorgeous family." Another echoed similar sentiments, writing: "Everyone looks great, but the Best looking person in the photo is Rob, just to see him smiling best. He has the best accessory, that smile." "It was nice to see Rob. He is looking cute!" A third declared, while a fourth added, "Thanks for including Rob." The love for Rob continued, with more fans thanking Kim for blessing them with a picture of her AWOL younger brother. "YOU GAVE US ROB FOR EASTER," someone chimed while a fellow supporter noted: "I love seeing Rob in the photos!! I miss seeing him in the show and hope he is doing well!!" Three months before Rob's surprising appearance on Kim's Instagram page, The Blast covered his mother's desire to see him embrace the spotlight. A source claimed the famous momager was exhausted with her son's days as a social recluse, claiming: "Kris is trying to light a fire under Rob to get him to start living life again. She never imagined when he stepped back from the show that he'd still be hiding out at home all these years later." The source continued, "It's the biggest heartbreak of her life, and she's desperate to convince him to come out of his shell." Another insider claimed Rob barely went outside his home unless it was to visit his older sister Khloé or to let his daughter Dream spend quality time with her cousins. The second source stressed that Rob prioritized being a father over returning to the spotlight. "Rob lives for his little girl, Dream. She's the absolute center of his world, and he spends most of his time with her either at his house or over at Khloé's," they explained. "[However,] When Khloé wants to take the kids out anywhere, 99 percent of the time Rob refuses to go," the source added. They implied the only Kardashian son might have agoraphobia after years as a reality TV star made him "terrified of being out in public and getting recognized or photographed." Agoraphobia, per the Cambridge Dictionary, is the fear of going outside and being in public places. It can also be defined as the fear of being in a situation where it might be difficult to escape or help might not be available. In Rob's case, his reclusiveness might stem from bad experiences of being in the spotlight. Rob's reclusiveness has been ongoing for years, with him having zero to little social media presence. However, The Blast reported he came out of his cave in 2022 to celebrate his sister Khloé. At the time, his older sister shared a stunning image of herself in an all-black ensemble. Khloé donned a figure-hugging turtleneck top with leather pants and matching boots while flaunting her bleached blonde hair. She posed at the center of a circle made of jeans, promoting her Good American brand's various designs, from ripped numbers to skinny designs. Khloé's beauty left many in awe, including her younger brother. Rob applauded her promotional post with the sweet comment, "My pretty princess sparkly girl." His reaction came hours after Khloé had congratulated his ex-girlfriend, Adrienne Bailon, on welcoming a baby with her husband Israel Houghton. Will Rob Kardashian ever return to the spotlight?
