Aldi slashes price of popular Easter chocolates to just 32p
ALDI has slashed the price of a popular Easter chocolate to just 32p.
Eagle-eyed shoppers were shocked to see packets of KitKat mini eggs reduced to a few pence.
The festive treat, which features Nestle chocolate and wafer pieces, retails for around £1.50 at other supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
But the German discounter has slashed the price by 75%, giving customers the chance to save ahead of the holiday.
The bargain was posted in the HotUkDeals website, with others quick to chime in and praise the find.
The post read: “Kit Kat mini eggs priced at £1.29 with 75% OFF sticker”
One punter simply wrote “hell yeah,” in response to the bargain.
If you want to shop the offer you may have to visit your nearest Aldi, as the supermarket does not offer home delivery.
It may be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to enquire about stock levels to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Aldi by visiting www. stores.aldi.co.uk/store-finder.
It’s not the only bargain offered by the bargain supermarket in recent weeks.
The bargain supermarket has announced a range of “egg-stra special treats” on their seasonal chocolate with less than a month left to go until Easter.
Punters were also shocked to see small Cadbury eggs such as the Freddo, Mini Eggs or Giant Buttons scanning at tills for just £1.45.
This is compared to £1.75 in Sainsbury’s if you are shopping without your Nectar Card.
For £3.45, shoppers can bag up a number of large eggs.
The Twirl, Creme Egg, Giant Buttons, Mini Eggs options are all available in store.
