Shoppers spot way to get 40p off Creme Eggs amid pricing outrage
Easter is just around the corner, and with food prices higher than ever, chocolate lovers reckon they've found the cheapest place to snap up Cadbury’s Creme Eggs.
In the latest blow from the cost of living crisis, prices for the beloved sweet snack have surged in recent years — and it's fair to say Brits are not happy.
In a recent Reddit discussion, one shopper said they'd spotted them for as much as 99p at their local store.

At the time of writing, a single Creme Egg will set you back 85p at Sainsbury’s and Tesco, and a jaw-dropping £1 at Waitrose and Morrisons.
But savvy shoppers have found a way to snap them up for 40p less — if you're willing to buy in bulk.
So, where can you snag a Creme Egg bargain—and how much are they? Scroll on for all the details (before they vanish from the shelves).
Where to find the cheapest Creme Eggs for Easter 2025
You can currently pick up a box of 48 Creme Eggs for £28 on Amazon — that’s equivalent to just over 58p per egg.
The bundle is usually priced at £36, so if you’re keen to score a good deal, don’t hang around.
“I ate all of them in three days,” one customer confessed in the reviews. “Why do the gods torment me with Creme Eggs that are this cheap and this tasty? I hate what I’ve become. I’m buying more.”
Another glowing five-star review reads, “These are such good value for the quantity. Totally worth it. I get my box every year and absolutely love them.”
A third chimed in: “Omg 48 eggs for this price? I’m supposed to be dieting and spotted this bargain. The diet’s on hold for a few days. So yeah, definitely a five-star review from me.”
Tesco customers can also snag an 8-pack for £4 (equivalent to 50p per egg) with a Clubcard—or £5.50 (about 69p per egg) without one.
Creme-Egg-gate lands just weeks after the nation collectively spiralled over the price jump of Mini Eggs.
This Easter, a 1kg family bag of the Cadbury classic could cost you up to £15. Just last year? You were likely paying around £9 to £11.50.
Mondelēz International, the parent company of Cadbury, has attributed the rising costs of its products to increased prices for ingredients like cocoa and dairy, along with elevated energy and transport expenses.
A spokesperson told LADbible: “We’re aware of the financial pressures consumers are continuing to face, and raising prices is always a last resort for us. But as a food manufacturer, we’re still seeing substantially higher input costs across our supply chain—especially for key ingredients like cocoa and dairy.
“Other costs, including energy and logistics, also remain elevated. That means our products are much more costly to produce, and while we’ve absorbed some of those increases where possible, significant challenges remain.
“As a result, we’ve had to implement some carefully considered list price adjustments to our Cadbury Creme Eggs so we can keep delivering the brands people love, without compromising on the taste and quality they expect.”
