The 220g milk chocolate egg contains eight miniature Celebrations chocolates for a second sweet snack after eating the egg.
Shoppers were informed of the deal after a post was made to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
She said in the post: “Large Celebration Easter Egg £1.99 in Aldi’s. Chaul End Lane Branch, had loads!”
Commenters said the poster had found a “bargain.”
One said: “There are deals on in most places now. They’re also Sainsbury Tesco and Morrisons and 4 for £10 in Asda.”
Another wrote: “4 for £8.00 bargain.”
While a third poster revealed where they had seen a similar price: “£2 per Tesco.”
The chocolate has been reduced from €2.99 by Aldi, but the Celebrations egg is also available at other supermarkets.
At Asda, the Celebrations egg is selling for £3 online – the same price as Tesco.
Parents are facing shelling out for up to 50 percent more for Easter eggs compared to last year.
The sun on Sunday saw prices soar, while the chocolate treats children unwrap on March 31 are sometimes smaller.
A Ferrero Rocher milk chocolate egg costs £15 from £10, while an Asda dark chocolate egg with vanilla truffles costs £6.50, from £5.
A Cadbury Dairy Milk Giant Buttons egg at Sainsbury’s costs £1.50 instead of £1.25 – and not that big.
Sainsbury’s has reduced the price of some of its large Easter eggs to just £2 for all Nectar cardholders in the run-up to the holiday.
The range includes eggs from different brands, such as Cadbury and Galaxy, and you can save up to 37% on most offers.
Which chocolate is most common in a Celebrations tub?
Charlie Murphy, 28, from North Yorkshire, threw the money over eight tubs and counted which chocolate was the most common.
He shared his findings on X, formerly Twitter, and TikTok, where he is known as @charliemurphy50.
It turned out to be a big hit: the images on TikTok alone were viewed more than 179,000 times in just a few days.
Charlie, who cares full-time for his disabled father, said he loves Maltesers, Galaxy and Dairy Milk, but doesn’t like being left behind with the Crème Egg, Snickers and Bounty offerings.
The online footage shows him emptying the entire contents from the bath and then going through it.
Of the eight tubs he purchased, Charlie revealed that Galaxy and Caramel were the least common, with 46 each, for an average of six per tub.
However, the most common chocolate was Snickers, with Charlie finding a total of 89 in the eight tubs, almost twice as many as Galaxy chocolates.
