If you still have to help the Easter Bunny stock up his basket, a trip to Aldi might be in the cards.

The retailer has slashed the price of its Extra Large Cadbury eggs in the lead up to Easter.

The promotion includes the Cadbury’s XL Dairy Milk Egg, which was previously listed for £4.95.

From now until April 19, shoppers can save 40% and pick up the sweet treat for just £2.99.

“For an extra-large, at no egg-stra charge, shoppers can stock up on Aldi’s Dairy Milk XL Egg, an irresistible egg, with its classic creamy taste,” said an Aldi representative.

The large milk chocolate egg also includes three Dairy Milk bars.

And the traditional Dairy Milk egg isn’t the only one available at this discounted price.

Shoppers will be excited to learn that the beloved Cadbury’s Mini Eggs are also included in the promotion.

“For an extra-large egg, at a mini-mum price, Aldi’s Mini Egg XL Egg will have shoppers thinking they have all the eggs in their basket this Easter,” Aldi said.

Featuring two bags of the holy grail Easter staple Mini Eggs, the milk chocolate egg is also available for £2.99.

The same XL Cadbury Easter egg is available for £6 from both Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.

Both stores are also charging £6 for the XL Mini Egg Easter egg.

Aldi has even beaten out Asda with their latest offer, with the British retailer offering the same chocolate egg for £4.98.

Asda has previously beaten out most other retailers with its affordable Easter range.

And while Aldi may save you some extra pennies, Asda offers a wider selection of affordable eggs.

Large branded Easter eggs are currently available at Asda for £2.32.

It’s important to remember that supermarket pricing, especially for seasonal items like Easter eggs, is dynamic.

As we get closer to Easter other supermarkets may launch further discounts and promotions to compete.
