Easter 2023: Some of the best Easter egg bargains in Dublin supermarkets

Chocolate lovers can avoid shelling out on expensive Easter eggs this spring by hitting the supermarket aisles.

Experts have warned that the price of sugar has risen considerably in recent weeks, making Easter eggs a more expensive commodity. Damien O'Reilly, a retail management lecturer at TU Dublin, told RTE's Drivetime that sugar prices are up by a staggering 30 per cent compared to this time last year.

Nonetheless, supermarkets still have some good deals on offer as Easter rapidly approaches. Aldi have introduced some great value sweet treats, which are available in their 155 stores nationwide.

Some of their delectable offers include the classic Cadbury Daily Milk Chunky Egg, which totals at €9.99. The retailer also has the quirky Ice Cream Sundae Egg for people seeking something a little different at an affordable price, with the egg costing €7.99.

Dunnes also have some similar offers available before the Easter rush. People looking for their traditional chocolate fix can buy the Cadbury's Premium Creme Egg for a total of €8.

Meanwhile, Centra has a special offer on its Quality Street Giant Egg, which costs just €7. This is one of the more affordable options at the grocery retailer, as some of its Easter eggs totalled €15 and over in cost, including its Cadbury's Dairy Milk Crunchie item.

Finally, Tesco also had some impressive bargains worth seeking out. The retailer is selling small eggs, including the KitKat Chunky range, at just €1.50. These eggs are smaller than some of the other items mentioned above but will help those wanting to stick to a budget this Easter.

It's advised to seek out these deals ahead of time as the countdown to Easter begins. Easter Sunday falls on April 9 this year.
