Morrisons shoppers rush to stock up on 75p Easter eggs - and it's not a price glitch

Easter may feel like it's weeks away yet, but it's never to early to start shopping for a bargain. And shoppers have stumbled upon a deal at Morrisons that sees some popular brands of the chocolate treats slashed to just 75p.

The supermarket has launched a half price offer which has seen brands like Smarties, Maltesers, Mini Eggs, Freddo, Rolo, and Aero eggs reduced from £1.50.

Birmingham Live reported that most of Morrisons’ Easter eggs weighed between 96g to 128g, making it quite the saving indeed.

Customers have taken to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group to share the offer after filling up their trolleys. The deal - available both in stores and online -has seen shoppers buying in bulk ahead of Easter Sunday, April 9.

Liam Till shared a picture of the ten Easter eggs he’d bought for £7.50. He wrote: “Morrison’s 75p each don’t walk run [thumbs up emoji]”

Another bargain hunter commented: "I didn’t even leave my house I bought 34 online." While one disappointed shopper wrote: "Blooming heck! I just paid £1.25 for one of those Freddo ones from Asda!"

Facebook user Christine Ball shared a picture of her trolley loaded up with eleven full size Maltesers Easter eggs, six Aero Easter eggs, and three Cadbury's Buttons eggs - all for £15. She wrote: "Been there, done that yesterday."

One mum said that the Easter eggs were "suitable for small children". She wrote: "I got my son 6 to give him a hamper." Another shopper added: "The 128g ones are a definite bargain."

The offer runs until February 21, with a maximum of 20 promotional Easter eggs per customer according to the terms and conditions.
