Where to find cheap Easter eggs
You can pick up some cracking bargains with our eggscellent guide to bargain Easter eggs.
Easter may still be a few weeks away but the supermarkets are already slashing prices in order to get customers filling up their baskets.
Instead of wasting time visting each shop for the best price, here we’ve rounded up the prices on offer at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda, with the help of the website MySupermarket.
Below, you can find the latest prices by brand for some of the most popular eggs (the cheapest price for each product is bolded).

It's always worth keeping an eye on budget supermarket websites, such as Lidl and Aldi, which frequently have good offers, along with shops like Morrison's and Waitrose. Your local newsagent or grocery shop is also a good shout if you're looking for some chocolate deals, especially as it gets nearer to Easter.
