Default Cream egg prices …
So I know Tesco have an offer of 5 for £2.50 but … our local shop sells them at 85p each or 2 for £1.20 ( 60p each)

I bought 5 and put down £3 but they charged me £3.25 because the deal is 2 for £1.20 … so the odd one was still 85p !!


I did question the price saying I figured they would be 60p each given the offer .. but paid without creating a fuss


Any thoughts !?

If it's two for £1.20 I have no idea why you thought the 5th one would be the discounted price... that has never in any situation been how a "Two for £____" offer works .

They're still only 45p each in my local cheapo shop.

And you can just still buy one and it's 45p.

I'm not a big fan of them. I prefer an Easter egg. But I always get a small one.

Just seems logical .. after we get to .. 2 for £1.20 .. 3 for £1.80 .. 4 for £2.40 ..

So why not 5 for £3 ??

The normal stores probably, not sure about the little ones.
They are available online if you are doing an internet shop.

I spent $25 in Cadbury to fuel your economy. I hope you all make a million dollars.

5 egg pack was $5.44/ea on my receipt at Walmart. Candy and snacks, etc, are very expensive atm with inflation, but Cadbury has always been an expensive treat.

I got a pack of minis and I intend to hide those in eggs for my daughter. She's not heavy into sweets anyway so expect it will mostly be consumed by hub & I, but this might interest her a bit more because of the shape.

From what I’ve heard on the grapevine.. Cadbury’s chocolate USA … doesn’t taste anywhere as nice as Cadbury’s UK ..


Crazy thing is Cadbury’s UK tasted far nicer about 10 years ago !!!
