SHOPPERS have been left furious after finding out that different sized Cadbury Easter Eggs are the “exact same” despite the £2 price gap.
The large and extra large Easter eggs come with the same sized hollow egg, the only difference is the extra large pack comes with an additional chocolate bar.
One angry shopper took to Facebook to warn fellow chocolate lovers.
She wrote: “Don’t be caught out between the large and extra large Easter eggs!
“Absolute rip off… using the word extra large when the thing extra is the price.”
A fellow shopper shared her frustration: “It looks like there is a 40g difference between the large and extra large egg – not much difference though.”
But savvy shoppers were quick to notice that the extra large egg was the same price with a Tesco clubcard.
One excited shopper said: “It’s the same price, just use a clubcard and you get the extra creme egg.”
Another posted: “They are the same price with a clubcard and the egg is bigger.”
While a third wrote: “That’s why it’s on clubcard, who doesn’t have a clubcard?
“Get the XL and have that extra egg for free – bargain.”
Other chocolate enthusiasts suggested everyone take advantage of the clubcard price while available.
The chocolate egg market is a lucrative one for the retail sector.
According to personal finance comparison site Finder, 80million Easter eggs are sold in the UK each year.
But it’s worth bearing in mind that supermarkets and retailers often launch discounts and offers on chocolate eggs in the run up to Easter.
And with Easter just over a month away, keep your eyes peeled for the latest mouth-watering deals.
It’s also a good idea to check out discounts exclusive to loyalty card shoppers.
B&M has already slashed the price of a giant Cadbury Easter Egg to £5.
The Dairy Milk Chunky Ultimate egg has been discounted by 50% from £10, making it the cheapest out of the major retailers.
The pack comes with an extra thick chocolate egg and bag of individually wrapped Cadbury Dairy Milk chunks.
Shoppers keen to buy the egg for a loved one this Easter, or themselves, will have to head to their nearest B&M store as you can’t order it online.
But get there quick – the retailer warned that shoppers are snapping them up quickly.
