Shoppers go wild for return of Cadbury chocolate orange Mini Eggs but you can only buy them at one major supermarket
SHOPPERS have been going wild for the return of Cadbury chocolate orange Mini Eggs but they can only be bought in one major supermarket.
The festive delights, which feature orange-flavoured milk chocolate in a crisp sugar shell, went down a treat with customers when they launched two years ago.
Cadbury released the sweet treat for fans to enjoy last year and appears to be doing the same ahead of Easter 2025.
Shoppers have given the citrus take on the classic snack glowing reviews with one saying it reminded them of an “upgraded version” of orange Smarties.
Another described the treat as “delicious” but joked that it should “come with a warning” as the bag was quickly gobbled up.
A third added that the chocolate was “very moreish” and a “great addition” to the range.
But those keen to try out the eggs should be aware that they are only stocked in one major supermarket.
It appears the snack can only be bought at Tesco, with one 80g bag costing £1.85.
Customers with a Tesco Clubcard can pick up the snack for £1.65, giving them a chance to save 20p.
The chocolates can be bought online or in store at Tesco.
However, if you are keen to shop the product in person it may be worth ringing up your local Tesco ahead of your visit to check stock levels.
This is to avoid dissapointmet or a wasted trip.
You can find your nearest Tesco by visting the supermarkets webiste and clicking on the “store locator” feature.
Despite Easter being over four months away, Tesco is one of many supermarkets giving customers the chance to shop chocolate eggs.
B&M Bargains delighted shoppers when they spotted the Cadbury Marble Dairy Milk & White Egg amongst the January Sales.
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.
Easter Eggs are 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.”
SHOPPING AROUND FOR THE BEST BARGAIN
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being overcharged.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
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.
