Amazon shoppers are rushing to buy big boxes of Creme Eggs at a bargain price
AMAZON shoppers have rushed to buy huge “bargain” boxes of Creme Eggs that are cheaper than those at Tesco or Asda.
The iconic Cadbury Creme Egg is a favorite with Brits across the country.
And shoppers can now buy 48 of the little chocolatey delights for less than £22.
The box normally costs £23.05 but has been reduced to £21.36 for a limited time.
That makes each Creme Egg just 45p, cheaper than Tesco, Asda and Morrisons.
Shoppers can pick them up for 50p each from Tesco and Asda or for 75p from Morrisons.
This would make each chocolate egg 30p more expensive, equating to a difference of £14.40.
The bulk box is an incredibly popular choice on Amazon, with more than 10,000 sold in the last month.
And the hitbox has achieved an impressive and near-perfect average star rating of 4.8 out of five from 17,956 reviews.
One customer wrote: “I got these because they were cheaper than in the stores.”
A second called the product ‘more cost-effective’ than buying it in supermarkets.
They said: “You can’t go wrong with a box of these. It was great to give to my students around Easter… it was much more cost effective than the shops. I would buy it again.”
A third wrote: “If you have a large family the Easter hunts can be expensive so putting these in packs of 2+ in sandwich bags or party bags in different colors made it a fun day, worth the money and will make this event keep it going.
“Saving a lot of money also made the children happy.”
However, one Amazon customer said: “It’s not much, but that’s not the point: there should have been 48, but there were 46.
“I was suspicious because the polyethylene covering the cardboard outer box had clearly stretched and let’s say two eggs had fallen out somewhere.”
TO LOOK FOR EASTER EGGS
With Easter fast approaching, there’s not much time left to grab a bargain on your favorite chocolate.
Retailers have been competing for the best deals on sweet treats since the start of the year.
Tesco has slashed the cost of 22 extra-large Easter eggs, including many Cadbury varieties.
For example, Clubcard customers can buy a 232g Cadbury Dairy Milk Twirl Easter Egg for £3.50.
But if you are not signed up for the loyalty program, you will have to pay a fiver.
A number of Easter eggs at Asda were reduced from 60p to their original prices of £1.25 and £1.50.
Despite Asda ending its deal offering 60p eggs on March 10, it is still the cheapest place to buy a 96g Freddo Easter egg.
It comes with a small egg and a selection of iconic Freddo chocolates inside and retails for £1.25.
Asda is selling a 190g KitKat Chunky egg carton for £3, the same as Tesco and Ocado.
Meanwhile, Morrisons and Iceland are the next cheapest option, selling these for £3.25 and £3.50 respectively.
Elsewhere, Sainsbury’s has several discounts on Easter eggs for Nectar card buyers.
This includes a large 195g Lindt Easter egg with a salted caramel golden bunny, which retails for £9 with a Nectar card, and £11 without.
Morrisons are also offering discounts and special bundles on Easter eggs and treats.
