Shoppers furious over ‘disgraceful’ change to Cadbury Mini Eggs
Share:
CADBURY Mini Eggs fans are shocked after the cost of a small bag rose by over a third - with packs now costing almost £2 in many shops. The tasty treat has reappeared in stores in the build-up to Easter in April, but shoppers can’t believe the £1.85 price tag.

In March last year, the 80g bags were £1.20 in Tesco, if you had a Clubcard, but now the same weight costs £1.65 on a Clubcard deal - a whopping 37.5 per cent hike. Its regular Tesco price is £1.85, the same as in Poundland and Morrisons, and in Waitrose, it’s £2.20.

The 270g family-size Mini Eggs bags are now £4.85 in Tesco, whereas last year they were £3.75, an increase of 29 per cent. Shoppers have blasted the price hikes, with some refusing to buy them. On X, one said: “Mini Eggs are the best but these days £1.85 is expensive for a little bag of Chocolate. With me, I inhale them!”.
Another added: “Why are Mini eggs now priced at £1.85 for 80g? This can’t be linked to inflation.”. A third said: “Are you having an absolute laugh!!!! £1.85 for a bag of Mini Eggs. £1.25 up from £1 was bad enough but at almost double the price I refuse to buy these which is unfortunate as they’re my absolute favourite. Sad times ”.
A fourth moaned the cost was a disgrace, and a fifth fumed: “As if life in the UK wasn’t bad enough, this year its £1.85 for a small 80g bag of Mini Eggs.”. For those looking for a cheaper fix, there are alternative options like Aldi’s Dairyfine Mini Chocolate Eggs 80g, or Smarties Mini Eggs, also 80g, which are £1 in Poundland.
