‘Go, go’ shout choc fans as they rush to buy Cadbury Creme Eggs at a large supermarket
SHOPPERS are rushing to buy Cadbury Creme Eggs from a major supermarket after it slashed the price to the cheapest available.
Tesco Clubcard customers can buy the five-pack of mini eggs for £1.50, while non-Clubcard customers pay £2.50.
The Clubcard program offers customers points when purchasing products or fuel, which they can redeem for cash at future stores.
Shoppers online who spotted the Tesco deal can’t wait to grab some Easter eggs.
One, tagging a Facebook friend, simply said “go, go, go”, while another said they wanted to buy something “as soon as possible”.
Another said “need to stock up” while a fourth joked “I know where I’m going”.
The next cheapest option after Tesco is Aldi, which sells the multi-pack in store for £1.99, and then Morrisons, where it costs £2.25 online.
Asda is selling the five-pack for £2.50, while Sainsbury’s also has it for £2.50, if you have a Nectar Card.
Of course, keep in mind that if you want to buy the Creme Eggs from Tesco, you will have to pay a delivery charge.
It’s not clear whether the supermarket chain is also selling the five-pack in store, so it might be worth calling your local branch to find out.
You can find your nearest Tesco store using the store locator on the website.
And of course, always remember to shop around because you might find a better deal elsewhere.
Product prices can fluctuate as retailers put them on sale and sometimes prices in store can be different than online.
Retailers are likely to increase their offers this weekend and next week as Easter approaches.
To find out how much an item costs at different online retailers, you can use price comparison websites such as Trolley and Price Runner.
They both use databases with thousands of products on sale.
Iconic chocolates that have left the store shelves
Cadbury’s Dream chocolate bar: The popular bar closed in 2002, but was relaunched in 2019 under the new name ‘Cadbury White’.
Mars Delight bar: Although it proved to be a firm favorite among sweet-tooth fans during its four-year run in stores from 2004, it was pulled from shelves in 2008. Fans are still eager to see the treat return.
Nestlé’s Caramac chocolate bar: The unique bar had been in stores for more than sixty years, but was discontinued last year due to continued sales declines.
Milky way crispy rolls: They were pulled from shelves in 2022 and fans were so distraught by the news that a petition was started to bring them back, which currently has over 8,500 signatures.
White Maltese: The white chocolate version of the popular snack had a strong run of eleven years, but due to declining sales it was discontinued in 2014.
It’s not the first time in recent days and weeks that shoppers have been confused by Easter egg-themed chocolates on the shelves.
Asda shoppers couldn’t get enough of Cadbury Oreo mini eggs earlier this week, which were on sale for £2.25.
The chain started stocking the sweet snacks in January, but some customers only just spotted them on the shelves.
Meanwhile, B&M customers were excited after seeing a new Cadbury Twirl flavor on shelves earlier this week for just 29p.
The limited edition mint-flavored bar normally sells for 75 cents each, but has been flogged at a hugely reduced rate.
Shoppers could pick up four of the bars for £1, 25p each.
Cadbury has recently launched two new and ‘indulgent’ Dairy Milk flavours, also for chocolate lovers.
The nutty praline chip and caramel nut crunch flavors were both unveiled on Monday (March 18).
Cadbury fans also rushed to Amazon’s website this weekend to buy giant boxes of Creme Eggs for just over £21.
Chocolate fans have also found themselves in crisis in recent months after a number of popular products were withdrawn from the market.
Last November, Nestle shut down its iconic Caramac bar after 60 years, with fans calling the move a “mockery.”
The chocolatier said it had discontinued the bar after a decline in sales.
Last month it discontinued both Breakaway and Yorkie cookie bars after a decline in sales.
