The savvy shopper posted: 'Back in stock 22/4/25' – alongside pics of Galaxy Truffle Mini Eggs and Galaxy Hazelnut Truffle Eggs, both marked down to 49p.
The treats, which usually sell for much more, are dated mid-June – meaning there's still plenty of time to tuck in.
The deal was spotted at Farmfoods in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, but shoppers nationwide are already scrambling to see if their local branch is stocking the discounted eggs.
Comments flooded in, with one shopper saying: 'OMG heading now' .
Another added: 'Love going after Easter – so cheap!'
Some said they'd already stocked up, with one shopper writing: 'My store too, went this morning and was great".
Another added: 'Stocking up now haha.'
The offer is available in store only, so you'll have to pop in to your nearest store to scout any sweet bargains.
But those not near a Farmfoods haven't missed out, as other big-name supermarkets are slashing costs too.
Galaxy Chocolate Eggs have been seen at Aldi for £2.99, while Sainsbury's has large Easter eggs for just £2.
Over at Asda, shoppers are also reporting major reductions on leftover chocolate stock.
Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST
Shoppers on Facebook's Snackfinds page have also reported "reduced chocolate" at Tesco stores from today, Tuesday 22.
It's good news for those still craving a post-Easter treat and even better for those who love a bargain.
How to compare chocolate prices
Its always worth having a look across different stores and comparing prices to make sure you're landing the best deals and getting the best value for money.
To compare prices effectively, try using price comparison websites and apps like Trolley.co.uk, Google Shopping, or Idealo.
These tools can help you find the best deals by comparing prices across multiple retailers.
For example, Trolley allows you to scan items in-store and compare prices with other retailers, so you don't have to make mulriple shopping trips to find the best deals.
Additionally, be sure to check for discounts and promotions, and consider buying larger quantities if you can, as they are often cheaper per unit.

‘This is a really good deal' people cry as Tommee Tippee kit launches in Home Bargains for almost a third of the price
Plus, how one mum spotted a similar set in Tesco being reduced BABY STEPS 'This is a really good deal' people cry as Tommee Tippee kit launches in Home Bargains for almost a third of the price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY new parents will know that buying baby supplies isn't always cheap. However, one shopper shared how they spotted that a Tommee Tippee kit has landed in Home Bargains for a third of the price.

On the Home Bargain sign it said that the pack is usually priced at £15.99, meaning you save £9.01. Included in the kit is a Roll 'n' Go bib comes with a crumb catcher. It also has a number of Easiscoop feeding bowls, which stack inside each other to save on space. They are said to be safe to use in the microwave, and BPA free - as well as being dishwasher safe. There are also a number of ergonomically shaped spoons which are 'easy to hold, without getting your fingers messy.' The Tommee Tippee website says: 'Our Softee weaning spoon is the perfect choice for their first adventures into solid food. 'The smooth, flexible tip is specially designed for tiny mouths - it tips food gently onto their mouth and is super soft on tender gums. The extra-long handle makes scooping and feeding easy.' Meanwhile, the kit also comes with a weaning sippy cup to help develop tipping and sipping skills whilst preventing spills. The bargain was posted on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, and numerous people seemed keen to snap it up.

Comes with 4 bottles, 1 brush, 1 dummy, and 2 replacement heads. Not sure if this is nation wide, or not." The set is designed to ease colic, gas and reflux and includes nine helpful items.

Changes to UC & PIP payments in full as Labour reveals bruising welfare bill concessions in bid to quell rebellion
BENEFITS SWITCH Changes to UC & PIP payments in full as Labour reveals bruising welfare bill concessions in bid to quell rebellion Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRUISING concessions to the government's welfare plans are being laid out by Welfare Secretary Liz Kendall following a humiliating u-turn. Changes to Personal Independence Payments and Universal Credit are being spelled out to MPs ahead of a crunch vote tomorrow. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Cabinet MInister Liz Kendall reveals changes to benefits system after u-turn Credit: Alamy Ms Kendall told MPs: "Protecting existing claimants, whilst beginning to focus people on those with higher needs for new claimants going forward, strikes the right and fair balance." Outlining some of the costs, she said that the measures she outlined will cost £2.5 billion in 2029-30. But Sir Keir Starmer is facing a fresh backlash as 150,000 people will still be pushed into poverty by the end of the decade despite his benefits u-turn. Dozens of Labour rebels are yet to be convinced to back the Downing Street proposals despite the number being affected nearly reduced in half. The staggering estimate is less than the original forecast of 250,000 extra people left in relative poverty once their housing costs have been stripped out. But the current figures don't include any possible 'positive impact' from extra funds going in to support people with disabilities and long-term health issues. Labour MP Nadia Whittome said: "Even with the concessions, the government's own analysis forecasts that 150,000 people could still be pushed into poverty by disability benefit cuts by the end of the decade. 'As Labour MPs, we didn't enter politics to make struggling constituents poorer. We must stop this Bill.' The Prime Minister faced a major revolt with 126 of his Labour MPs threatening to wreck his flagship legislation and throw it out. But he made a partial u-turn allowing personal independence payment changes to only apply to new claimants from November next year. The same applied to Ministerial plans on the health-related element of Universal Credit. But the changes mean Chancellor Rachel Reeves will have to find more cash to meet the savings, first thought to be £3 billion. It comes after the u-turn on winter fuel payments which will leave a £1.5 billion hole in the public finances. The Labour leadership are still engaged in talking to the rebels to vote for the bill even though big changes were made. Backbench MP Clive Efford who has been a Labour MP since 1997 said he would still oppose welfare plans despite major concessions. When asked if he had changed his mind to back the government, he said: 'No, I've not, I'm afraid. 'There are still £3.5bn worth of savings that are required in these measures and we don't yet know the poverty impact that they will have.' A No 10 spokesman said: 'The broken welfare system we inherited is failing people every single day. "It traps millions, it tells them the only way to get help is to declare they'll never work again and then abandons them. 'No help, no opportunity, no dignity and we can't accept that. For too long, meaningful reform to a failing system has been ducked.' The terms of reference for a comprehensive review of the Pip payments led by Welfare Minister Sir Stephen Timms will also be set out. But it will not report for another year. It will be co-produced with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, and MPs. Sir Keir Starmer said last week that the changes now strike the 'right balance' despite the government earlier saying there will be no u-turns. He said: 'The most important thing is that we can make the reform we need. 'We talked to colleagues, who've made powerful representations, as a result of which we've got a package which I think will work, we can get it right. 'For me, getting that package adjusted in that way is the right thing to do, it means it's the right balance, it's common sense that we can now get on with it.' But despite the concessions Mikey Erhardt, from Disability Rights UK, last week accused the Government of 'playing politics with our lives', saying the vote next Tuesday must still be pulled. He said the changes will mean 'a benefits system where future generations of disabled people receive less support than disabled people today'. He added that the original decision 'prioritised balancing its books over improving the lives of disabled citizens'. Mr Erhardt added: 'Despite seemingly rowing back on some of the worst aspects of its plans, the Government is still attempting to slash billions of pounds from a system that doesn't provide enough support as it stands.' The MS Society said Ministers were simply 'kicking the can down the road and delaying an inevitable disaster'. They urged MPs 'not to be swayed by these last-ditch attempts to force through a harmful Bill with supposed concessions'.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOSTALGIC childhood crisps have returned to Aldi's shelves, bringing a limited new flavour for just 99p. The iconic crisps were brought back as part of this week's Specialbuys. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 BURTON'S Salt & Vinegar Crisps are now available at Aldi Credit: Aldi 2 Shoppers have also spotted a limited edition flavour Credit: Facebook Burton's legendary Fish 'n' Chips crisps are back in stores, bringing back a wave of nostalgia with their classic salt and vinegar flavour plus a brand new twist. The six-pack is now on sale for just 99p, making each pack around 17p. But there's more. A limited edition prawn cocktail flavour has also been spotted in stores, with fans already raving about it on social media. One shopper wrote: 'Love Fish 'n' Chips even more now that they have prawn cocktail flavour – will be getting some of these tomorrow if they're in my nearest store.' Another added: 'Omg need to get some of those in.' A third said: 'I love these so much I'm going to Aldi right now.' The crisps, which are shaped like mini fish and chips, were a packed lunch favourite for kids growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. Their return has sparked a wave of excitement, with snack lovers desperate to get their hands on them. While they're available on Ocado for £1.50 and listed on Amazon for as much as £3, Aldi is currently offering the cheapest deal but only in-store. So anyone hoping to bag a bargain will need to head to their local branch to grab a pack. Beloved grocery chain 'better than Costco' to open new store as part of expansion after buying closed Winn-Dixie site With prices varying across supermarkets, it's always worth checking multiple retailers to make sure the best value is being snapped up. But at just 99p for six packs, Aldi's offer is hard to beat and fans are wasting no time getting stuck in. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. How to save money at Aldi There are lots of clever ways to save even more money when shopping at Aldi and most of them don't require alot of effort. One of the easiest tricks is to look out for items nearing their expiry date. Aldi often marks these down automatically at the till, even if there's no visible sticker on them. Items that expire the same day or the next can be up to 75% cheaper. So if you know you'll use something quickly or have freezer space it's worth snapping these up for big savings. Specialbuys are another major money-saver. These are limited-time items that land in stores every Wednesday and Sunday and cover everything from garden furniture to toys and kitchen gear. You can check what's coming soon by signing up for Aldi's newsletter or checking the Specialbuys section on the website. Aldi also runs its 'Super Six' fruit and veg offer every two weeks, where it slashes prices on six fresh items. It's a great way to get more variety in your weekly shop while paying less, with discounts like oranges for 99p or red cabbage for just 49p. If you haven't already, downloading the Aldi app can also help. It shows you all the latest offers and lets you build a shopping list to help you stick to your budget. You can even use the app to plan ahead for future deals. There's also Aldi's reduced aisle, which includes big discounts on items they're trying to shift. These are marked with red tags and are usually end-of-line Specialbuys or seasonal stock. If you can't spot it, ask staff where the reduction section is – it's often tucked away. Lastly, you can get cashback through Hyperjar, a savings app offering 20% back at Aldi. Just download the free app, load money onto your account, then buy a gift card to match the cost of your shop. You'll get cashback directly into your Hyperjar wallet – perfect if you're doing a big weekly shop and want some money back. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
