Amazon shoppers are in for a treat this Easter as the online giant slashes prices on a beloved seasonal treat. One of the most popular Easter sweets, Creme Eggs can become a costly item when buying them often in small batches.
Originally priced at £36 for a hefty 48-pack on Amazon, the mammoth box now costs just £28.99 for a limited time. Purchasing the same number of Creme Eggs individually would typically cost about £32, based on Asda’s selling price of 67p each.
This “perfect for Easter” promotion not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also offers a tidy saving. The product description told customers what to expect from the classic treat.
It said: “Indulge in the delightful taste of a milk chocolate egg with a soft fondant centre. Order 48 Crème Eggs while the season lasts. Here today, Goo tomorrow! This perfect Easter treat is a great value 48-pack of Cadbury Crème Eggs, ideal for sharing at home or in the office.”
For those planning Easter egg hunts or simply looking to enjoy their favourite confectionery, bulk buying could be the way to go. The deal has garnered high praise from chocolate aficionados, with numerous positive reviews, reports the Mirror.
Customers shared a mix of reviews on Amazon for the bulk box. One customer said: “Why can it be Easter all year? This is the best value option for lots of Cadbury Creme eggs – the best!”
Another added: “I buy a pack of these every Easter for my sister. These are by far the best value for the box size.”
A third wrote: “Who doesn’t love a creme egg? Cost-effective way to stock up on these with a big box; you can even have it set up like a display! Chocolatey, creamy, gooey loveliness! The only drawback is it is a little too easy just to help yourself to one every time you go past!”
Someone else posted: “We bought these a while ago and thought these might be knock-offs but they were, in fact, legit Cadbury Creme eggs. Only a couple were leaky but that’s to be expected. Probably will buy them again if we can’t get them in the shops after Easter.”
A fifth buyer commented: “Do I regret buying 48 Cadbury creme eggs for my family because it works out much cheaper and less hassle than buying one or two at a time for the kids from the local shop, but then eating the vast majority of them myself because they were just sitting there? No, No I do not!”
Yet not all feedback was sweet, as some were less than impressed. One customer complained: “Shrinkflation at its best! Much smaller than they used to be and not as nice.”
A warning also came from another shopper who said: “Bought these to go in goodie bags and I’ve had to throw a load away. Out of 48, 15 of them were opened, or the packaging was extremely loose. Because of this, 30% of the box has gone in the bin as I cannot and will not give these to people. Such a waste.”
While these bulk buys are available on Amazon, Cadbury also offers sweet deals directly from their website. There’s one offer on a kilo of Mini Eggs for £18.
Additionally, there’s a bargain for Lindt enthusiasts to stock up for less. On its official website, you can purchase a kilo of the classic Milk Chocolate Truffles for £30 – with the same deal available on Dark, Salted Caramel and Variety packs of the same size.
