SHOPPERS are in for a sweet surprise as one supermarket beats the rest on Cadbury Mini Eggs prices – just in time for Easter.
Waitrose has slashed the price of the 80g bag to just £1.50, down from its usual £1.85 – making it the cheapest place to bag the seasonal treat right now.
Cadbury Mini Eggs have been a firm Easter favourite for decades, loved for their creamy milk chocolate centre and crunchy sugar shell.
But if you’re just after a quick chocolate fix, the 80g bags offer the best value.
Here’s how prices currently stack up:
- Waitrose – £1.50 (was £1.85)
- Asda – £1.64
- Tesco – £1.65 with Clubcard (or £1.85 without)
- Sainsbury’s – £1.65 with Nectar card (or £1.85 without)
That means picking them up from Waitrose this week could save you up to 35p a bag off the standard price.
It’s always worth checking prices before filling your basket, especially when Easter goodies are involved – and stock is known to sell out fast in the final run-up to the big weekend.

But the cut-price eggs are only on offer until April 21 so you’ll have to be quick.
You can find your nearest Asda supermarket by visiting storelocator.asda.com or buy the eggs online via asda.com.
Elsewhere, shoppers have been racing to B&M after spotting Cadbury’s Daim Eggs back on shelves for just £1.50.
The Easter treat made its return after the Christmas version, Dairy Milk Robins, was discontinued, leaving shoppers gutted.
Recently, Morrisons slashed the price of a number of its big packs of Cadbury chocolates to just 87p.
The chocolates include Bitsa Wispa, Crunchie Rocks, Oreo Bites, and Cadbury Animals, all going for a fraction of their usual price.
The 110g bags of sweet treats usually range anywhere between £1.75 to £2 at the major supermarkets.
