CHOC fans are in for a treat as one high street chain is flogging branded Easter eggs for under a quid — making them one of the cheapest around.
Heron Foods is selling M&M’s Mini Medium Eggs with a bag of M&M’s inside for just 99p.
The deal was spotted by an eagle-eyed shopper at a Heron Foods store in Blakenall, Walsall.
The bargain hunter took a snap of the offer and posted it on hotukdeals.com.
The same treat is currently going for £1.50 at Waitrose, after its price was reduced by 25p.
Sainsbury’s is also charging £1.50 for Nectar card holders, while everyone else will need to fork out £1.75.
It’s also £1.75 at Morrisons, and currently sold out online at Tesco.
That means Heron Foods undercuts rivals by at least 50p, or more if you don’t have a loyalty card.
The egg includes a medium-sized chocolate shell and a bag of classic M&M’s inside, making it the perfect last-minute Easter gift.
As always, stock can vary by store, so it’s worth checking your local Heron Foods if you’re hoping to bag the deal.

EASTER DEALS
Asda has slashed the price of its large branded eggs just in time for the bank holiday weekend.
Shoppers can get 20 large branded eggs for £2.32, including Cadbury Crème Eggs, Maltesers Teasers Milk Chocolate Large Eggs and Galaxy Minstrels Large Eggs.
Other big brands featured in the offer include Terry’s, Mini Eggs, Celebrations, and M&Ms.
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.
