Cadbury fan favourite returns to major discount retailer as shoppers cry ‘I need this’
A CHOCAHOLIC has spotted a rare find at one budget retailer, and shoppers have rushed to check if it has finally returned to the shelves.
The sweet-treat fan posted the deal on Facebook, which has since racked up thousands of likes.
The Cadbury Marble Dairy Milk & White Egg, an Easter favourite, is now back at popular bargain retailer B&M amongst the January Sales.
Thrilled to spot the festive goodie, the customer shared the find on social media, leaving others flocking to the store.
On Facebook, they wrote: “OMG! Cadbury Marble Dairy Milk & White Egg is back, now at B&M.”
Chocolate fiends were quick to jump to the comments, celebrating the return of the beloved Easter egg.
One wrote: “Oh my god I forgot about this beauty.”
Another happy shopper responded: “This is the egg I want for Easter! This looks amazing!”
A third user stated plainly: “I need this.”
The popular egg consists of a “thick-sheeled luxury Cadbury Dairy Milk and white Chocolate” according to the chocolate manufacturer’s website.
It includes a 372g marbled giant Easter egg with an extra thick shell and four small chocolate bars to go with it.
On the Cadbury website, the egg is on sale for £12.95.
It can be found in Asda for £12.98 and Aldi has promised its return on March 14
In Waitrose, a supermarket known for being a bit pricier, you can get the Cadbury egg for as little as £2.50.
This is been so popular it’s no longer available.
The product description said the swirled egg is for “someone special, with individually wrapped chunks.”
Facebook users were mostly excited to see the return of the Cadbury eggs, but others thought it was too soon to be thinking about Easter.
One shopper appeared to still getting over the aftermath of Christmas, writing: “OMG!!! Get lost, it’s January.”
Another agreed that it was a bit soon to be thinking about the next holiday saying: “Omg Easter eggs already.”
Another wasn’t a fan of the chocolate: “Had this one last year, I was a bit meh about it.
“Think I’d prefer half milk and half white rather than mixed together.”
Shoppers who need a pick-me-up from the post-Christmas blues, and don’t mind celebrating Easter early can grab one in-store
The Cadbury Marble Dairy Milk & White Egg is only available in the actual B&M shop at the moment as it can’t be bought online.
The B&M website states: “Unfortunately, our Easter ranges are not available at this time.
“But don’t forget, you can get hopping-mad deals on loads of brilliant chocolate and confectionery products all year round!
“Also check out our food and drink offers page, bursting with the best deals and bargains for sweet tooths.“
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.
