Big supermarket chain selling cheapest Nestle Easter eggs for £1 as it slashes prices
SHOPPERS are racing to Iceland to snap up Nestle Easter eggs for just £1.
The huge supermarket chain is currently selling the cheapest Nestle eggs in this size, beating the likes of budget stores Aldi and Lidl.
Fan favourites Milky Bar, KitKat and Smarties are all included in the deal, and are bound to keep the kids happy in the lead up to Easter.
From March 18th to March 24th, shoppers can snap up a 72g Milky Bar egg, a 100g Smarties egg and a 110g KitKat Chunky egg for just £1 in stores.
In comparison, Aldi’s Smarties egg is £1.35 for 100g, Sainsbury’s is selling a 110g KitKat chunky egg for £1.50 (£1.35 with a Nectar card), and Asda is selling a 72g Milky Bar egg for £1.48.
Highlighting the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one excited shopper said: “Easter eggs on offer at Iceland.
“For those who missed them when on offer at Morrisons.”
The post was flooded with comments from Easter loving shoppers eager to get their hands on the bargains.
One person said: “I’ve been in store today to get some.”
A second person said: “Happy days, will have to go!”
A third, tagging a friend, said: “Fancy going on Friday?”
This offer is only available in store, but online Iceland is offering a five for £5 deal on the same eggs (£1.50 if purchased individually).
This online deal is also only available until March 24th.
As well as it’s five for £5 deal on smaller eggs, Iceland is also selling its larger eggs in a two for £5 deal, making them £2.50 each.
Chocolate lovers can get their hands on Munchies, Rolo and Yorkie eggs (all around 200g) as part of the spring deal.
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 Trolley.co.uk 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.
If purchased individually, these eggs will set you back by £4.
And for customers looking for a bit more indulgence, Iceland is also selling £151g Thorntons eggs in a two for £7 deal.
The eggs come in either a dinosaur or unicorn design, and cost £4 if purchased individually.
In the lead-up to the big day, Iceland has more offers on Easter chocolate, and from March 24th to April 1st, will be selling three chocolate mini egg packs for £3.
Some of the products included in this deal will be Smarties Milk Chocolate Easter Mini Eggs Sharing Bag (80g), Galaxy Milk Chocolate & Creamy Hazelnut Truffles Easter Mini Eggs Bag (74g) and M&M’s Crispy Milk Chocolate Chocolate Easter Mini Eggs Bag (72g).
Retailers are allowed to price products differently across their stores.
Make sure you’re shopping around to get the best price.
