SHELLING out on Easter eggs can be a pricey business.
So it's little wonder that shoppers are racing to stock up on eggs, after spotting them for just 89p a pop in their local supermarket.
Danni took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a snap of the two eggs she'd picked up in in Wythenshawe.
While the Caramel Nibbles egg was 99p, the Cadbury Freddo one was even cheaper – at just 89p.
She added that staff there told her the deal was going on across all Farmfoods stores.
Others took to the comments section to say they'd also found some other 89p eggs in the store – the white chocolate Cadbury Buttons egg, and a Milkybar egg.
“I got both of these for 89p each at Farmfoods,” one person wrote.
“I just paid £1.50,” another fumed after shelling out almost double for the same egg in a different store.
“I really need to go!” a third insisted.
While someone else tagged a friend and said: “Go get loads for our army of kids haha!”
For anyone who doesn't have a Farmfoods local to them, the small eggs are also being sold for 99p in
One delighted shopper shared a snap of their haul from Heron Foods, which included a pack of eight small cans of Diet Coke for just 99p.
Easter is obviously a time of year that children are inundated with chocolate eggs – but there are some that are healthier than others.
In a study from Fruity King, they examined the sugar and calorie content of 175 different Easter eggs, comparing nutritional values per 100g and calculating the total for the whole egg.
Topping the list in terms of sugar, the Skittles milk chocolate egg was found to have a staggering 74g of sugar per 100g of chocolate.
Comparatively, a single serving of the egg – estimated to be around 45g – contains 33g of sugar, exceeding the recommended daily sugar intake by 10%.
And if you were to eat the entire egg in one go, it would be the equivalent of eating 39 teaspoons of sugar.
The Milky Way egg is second on the list, with 64g of sugar per 100g, followed by Cadbury's Caramilk and white chocolate Buttons eggs in joint third place – with 63g sugar per 100g each.
Meanwhile, the egg that topped the list in terms of calories is the Ferrero Rocher Golden Easter Egg, with 625 calories per 100g.
The entire egg contains 1,563 calories – 78% of your recommended daily intake.
