As someone else sighed of their local store: "They never have any!"
News of Home Bargains' peanut butter cup deal comes after Reese's Easter egg featured in a study looking at which eggs were the most sustainable.
Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST
The Reese's Milk Chocolate Hollow Egg came in at number six on the list of the top 10, with 26.5% of the product made up of packaging.
However, 100% of the packaging used for the egg was recyclable, giving it a sustainability score of 43.3.

Terry's Chocolate Orange egg topped the list with a sustainability score of 66.7 (out of 100), followed by Cadbury's Creme Egg hollow Easter egg with 63.3.
Last place was taken by the Ferrero Rocher Easter Egg in white chocolate, with a score of 16.7 out of 100.
The result was determined due to the box having no instructions on how to recycle the packaging, which made up 30% of the product.
It also used four different materials in the packaging - plastic, cardboard, foil, and paper.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
'Over the years, many Easter egg producers have made great strides to reduce the use of plastic in their packaging," Mark Hall, plastic waste expert at BusinessWaste.co.uk commented.
"Yet our research shows there's still further to go when it comes to sustainable packaging.
'However, it is great to see nine out of ten products clearly marked with recycling instructions and most packaging having high recyclability rates."

Shoppers 'won't go back to Apple Watch' after using Fitbit Versa 4 with 'unbelievable' battery
The smartwatch's incredible charge is one of its key features, boasting six days or more of battery life. Smartwatches are a crucial part of everyday life for many of us. As well as telling the time, they help us monitor our steps, track our fitness, receive texts and calls, and record our workouts. Top tech brands have launched their own timepieces, with the Apple Watch SE 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 two popular models from big names. But another popular brand is Fitbit, which is known for having incredible battery life compared to its rivals. And the Google Fitbit Versa 4 even has shoppers saying they'll "never go back" to Apple. You can snap up this smartwatch at a £20 discount on Amazon, with it coming down to £128.99. The Versa 4 is available in four colours; waterfall blue, black, beet, and pink sand - with the latter two designs costing £126. As expected, the smartwatch's incredible charge is one of its key features, boasting six days or more of battery life. It is compatible with iOS 15 or higher and Android OS 9.0 or higher and allows users to get calls, texts, and notifications through Bluetooth. The water-resistant Versa 4 model has been "built for better fitness results," according to Amazon. It has a built-in GPS and workout intensity map, a daily readiness score, dozens of exercise modes, while also offering 24.7 heart-rate tracking and a daily sleep score. For anyone looking for something from one of the bigger names, the Apple Watch SE 2 can be snapped up for £219 on Amazon, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 is currently £279 at Argos, its lowest ever price. Shoppers on a budget may want to consider the Cillso Smart Watch. It is the number one best-seller for smartwatches on Amazon and is now just £23.99, down 82 per cent from £129.99. Back to the Google Fitbit Versa 4, it has a 4.3-rating from around 1,800 reviews and is a designated Amazon's Choice product, which means it is highly rated, well-priced, and available to ship immediately. One satisfied customer said: "I've had a fair few smart watches over the last year or so; Versa 2, Galaxy Watch 4, Apple Watch SE, and now this. I can honestly say I prefer this one over the rest. "The battery is unbelievable. From fully charged , I have worn it every day for around 9 to 10 hours including using at the gym, getting notifications, and using it to accept calls, and it is now a full week later and the battery is still on 40 per cent. Considering the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch had to be charged every single day, this is amazing. "It's easy to understand unlike the apple watch when it comes to fitness tracking as it just gives you the info you want. Overall, after a year of searching for the perfect smart watch, this one is easily the perfect one for me." Another five-star reviewer hailed it as an excellent fitness tracker. They said: "In my opinion, a fitness watch should be a fitness watch, and not a mini phone on your wrist. I replaced my Apple Watch with this and would never go back. Tech deal of the week Shoppers keen to take their fitness to the next level would benefit from purchasing a smartwatch. One of which is on the popular Jugeman Smartwatch. Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now snap up this 4.8 star rated gadget with the pink strap for only £22.79 in a limited time deal. Boasting a 1.92-inch HD touch screen, shoppers can truly make this smartwatch their own as it comes with over 220 personalised watch faces to choose from. Featuring an ultra lightweight design to provide a comfortable and relaxed fit, the smartwatch will monitor your heart rate throughout the day as well as analyse your sleep. On top of this, the budget watch can track over 113 sports and monitor how many calories you have burned. Shoppers will also be able to use a range of other features, such as music control, weather forecast, find my phone, as well as receive calls, texts and social media notifications One delighted shopper said: "I'm genuinely impressed with this smartwatch! It looks sleek and modern, and the bright display is easy to read even in daylight. The features are exactly what I need fitness tracking, notifications, heart rate monitoring, and more. "The orange strap adds a fun and sporty touch, and it's surprisingly comfortable to wear all day. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the battery life is better than expected. For the price, this watch offers outstanding value. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable yet high-quality fitness tracker!" To buy the Jugeman Smartwatch, click HERE. "I also like the fact you can turn all notifications off so it just focuses on what it's supposed to do, tell the time and track your daily movements and fitness/activities." However, not all reviews were overwhelmingly positive. One person, who took issue with the strap and connectivity, said: "The Fitbit Versa 4 itself felt nice quality and lightweight but the strap for it is horrible, it felt so cheaply made, I replaced it with a nylon band which improved the feel but again for a premium product you shouldn't have to pay for new bands. "The versa 4 itself worked fine for about 4 days but then I started noticing issues, like it not syncing with the app, the gps would not connect at random times on the same walking routes and the touch screen would just stop working or it would turn off the option I had set to stay on." But others were delighted with their choice, with one saying: "I was deciding between the Fitbit Versa 4 and a Samsung smartwatch. Both covered everything I needed, with the Samsung offering a few extra bells and whistles. However, I kept coming back to the battery life. "With the Fitbit Versa 4, I haven't really had to worry about battery life — it lasts long enough, and it doesn't take much time to fully recharge. On the other hand, the Samsung was reported to last only around two days at best, and I knew I'd likely find it dead when I needed it or charging when I wanted to be active. "My main focus was the fitness and health features rather than the general "smart" functionalities, and after a few weeks of use, I'm glad I chose the Fitbit. It's easy to use, does all I need it to, synced smoothly with my other apps, and overall, I'm very happy with this purchase." Some shoppers kept their praise short but sweet. One person said: "Love it, I never take it off." While another added: "Great price, easy to set up. I love my watch." Get the Google Fitbit Versa 4 HERE.

Amazon shoppers snap up 'tough but stylish' smartwatch reduced from £160 to £30
Amazon has dropped a huge 81% discount on a 'stylish' smartwatch designed to withstand the elements in its latest tech deal. The Atheewon S10 Military Smart Watch has been slashed from £159.99 to £29.99 – a £130 price cut – with more than 1,000 shoppers taking advantage of the deal in the past month. According to the brand, this 'rugged' watch is designed to endure tough environments and exposure to the elements. Crafted with shockproof, drop-resistant and scratch-resistant materials, it's ideal for using on outdoor adventures or during training. It also has a scratch-resistant screen to protect its 1.39' 'Super HD' screen against wear and tear and harsh conditions. It boasts an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, so it's safe to use in the rain and underwater up to a depth of 1.5 metres. Ideal for those with an active lifestyle, the Atheewon S10 provides tracking for more than 100 sports and activities including running, cycling, football, yoga and strength training. On top of this, the watch can monitor steps, calories and sleep to analyse health data in real time. Other basic functions include Bluetooth calls, text messaging, social media notifications, and music control. The device is powered by a long-lasting battery offering up to 20 days of runtime in standby mode and five days with average use, with a full charge taking 1.5 hours. It's worth noting that while touted as a 'rugged military watch', this budget-friendly model may not offer the same build quality as premium rivals from Apple and Samsung. These brands usually come with hefty price tags, but Sky Mobile customers can keep costs down by spreading the cost of devices like the Apple Watch SE or Samsung Galaxy Watch7 from £7. But for those sticking with Amazon, the Atheewon S10 Military Smart Watch has earned a 3.9-star rating after 66 Amazon reviews, 74% of which are four and five stars. One happy customer said: "Sleek, rugged, feature-packed and surprisingly stylish. Call function and fitness tracking work well and it's tough enough for outdoor use. Very comfortable and the size is just right.' Another said: "Great watch with a good quality screen. I'm very surprised how good this is, definitely five stars.' Some have had issues with the Atheewon S10 's step counter, as one buyer said: 'Nice watch but the step counter doesn't work properly for me. Some days it doesn't register at all, and I know I've walked three or four miles.' Despite this, another five-star review said: 'It looks even better when you see it for real. Incredible value and incredibly accurate, a star buy.'

Amazon's number one robot vacuum is 57% off for shoppers doing one simple thing
Amazon is offering more than £160 off its best-selling vacuum that shoppers say is 'a true life changer' Amazon shoppers are being offered the retailer's number one robot vacuum cleaner at more than half price. The Monsga 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum with Mop has already dropped from £289 to £149, but shoppers can save even more by doing one thing. Amazon will shave a further £25 off the price if shoppers check a tickbox underneath the price on the product page, bringing the total cost down to £124. This marks a saving of £165, or 57%, from the original price. This particular model is currently the best-selling device in Amazon's Robotic Vacuums category, beating rivals including the Lefant M210P (£105.99) and eufy L60 (£169.99), which sit in second and third place respectively. The Monsga vacuum is the ideal device to reduce cleaning time, boasting an anti-tangle brushroll that removes hair while it cleans on hardwood floors or carpet. This model also offers a mop function for cleaning hard floors, with a 200ml water tank and three-stage moisture control delivering optimal mopping. According to the brand, its 150,000 RPM turbine allows it to pick up everything from fine dust to larger crumbs, while its compact and 3.2' tall body means it can tackle hard-to-reach areas and beneath furniture. The Monsga features four different cleaning modes, with auto mode adjusting its suction for different surfaces. Spot mode can target spills, edge mode cleans along walls and Manual mode gives uers app control for more precise cleaning. The robot vacuum has a powerful battery that can run for 140 minutes on a single charge, with the vacuum returning to its dock to recharge when it drops below 15% power so it's ready to go again. It provides a much cheaper alternative to rivals like the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop (£399.99), however, this premium model is said to scrub hard floors 100 times per minute. For those sticking with Amazon, the Monsga 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum with Mop has racked up more than 300 reviews with an average 4.7-star rating. Buyers have hailed it as 'life changer' that's both 'effective' and 'convenient'. One happy customer said: 'It's a true life changer and made a noticeable difference in keeping my kitchen floors clean with minimal effort. I use it everyday. It works fantastic on the hard floor, picks up dust, crumbs and hair easily. Smart navigation helps with cleaning under my dining table effectively as it goes around the table and chair legs. This is a worthwhile purchase for keeping things tidy between deep cleans, it's very effective and convenient.' Another said: 'This exceeded my expectations. It's quiet enough to run while I'm on calls and the suction power is great for both tile and carpet. I was impressed by how well it navigates around furniture without bumping into things too hard. The dustbin is easy to empty and setup took less than 10 minutes. It's become part of my daily routine and I don't think I could go back to manual vacuuming now.' Others were less pleased, as this review said: 'Couldn't find its way back to the charger. Just bumped around into things not cleaning where there is space. Also poor suction.' Someone else left a five-star review which reads: 'The robot vacuum is absolutely fantastic. It cleans so thoroughly that I hardly ever need to do any cleaning myself. While it makes a bit of noise, it's not a problem at all since you can easily schedule it to run while you're out. The battery life is impressive too – it runs long enough to clean the whole house in one go.'
