Easter egg price checker: Searching for a chocolatey bargain in NI …

Is it possible to pick up a bargain for our chocolate loving loved ones? Aine Toner investigates

For the main, large sized Easter eggs are similarly priced across the four supermarkets featured.

Specific supermarket deals vary but there are good bargains to be found, all the better if you have many eggs to purchase.

In Tesco, smaller sized eggs — up to approximately 127g — are priced GBP1.25 but if you’re a Clubcard user, you’ll get cracking for just GBP1 each.

Larger eggs — around 200-300g — are retailing for GBP5 but reach for your Clubcard and you’ll secure them for just GBP3.50 each.

In Sainsbury’s, selected Taste the Difference eggs have up to GBP2 off original prices.

That’s 25% off a deliciously decadent treat for April 9, with prices at GBP6.

Sainsbury’s also has deals for brands such as Lindt, Thorntons and Ferrero Rocher, with discounts from GBP1 to GBP4.50 depending on egg choice.

There are discounts too on Free From Easter options such as Moo Free Mikey Bunny Lemon Fizz (GBP3 from GBP3.95) and Sainsbury’s Free From Billie the Choc Bunny (GBP3.20 from GBP3.50)

Asda has several deals on Easter eggs depending on your need (and chocolate love).

Currently, you can get four large Easter eggs bundle for GBP10 — including some old favourites like Creme Egg, Buttons and Mini Eggs. It’s a small saving of GBP2 but well, it’s chocolate and a saving.

There are also two giant eggs for GBP8 available from Asda.

The latter usually retail at GBP4.50 each and include options from Reese’s and Cadbury’s plus a special Peppa Pig gift set.

Also, if you’re wanting to gift a smaller but perfectly formed choc treat to your little chicks, Asda has a range of Easter products that are two for GBP2.

These include small Easter eggs that retail normally for GBP1.25 and feature characters such as Hey Duggee and Paw Patrol.

Additionally, though there individual Easter eggs are running to more expense in Iceland stores, the company has a four for GBP10 offer online.

Like the Asda offer, it’s a great opportunity to buy in bulk if needed — and in Iceland’s case, it’s a saving of GBP6 than buying four in store.

The offer includes a huge range of chocolate lover favourites such as Maltesers, Galaxy and Celebrations.
