The deal was spotted at Farmfoods in Wigan, but it’s worth checking your local branch to see if the deal’s running nationwide.
Cadbury Creme Eggs typically cost around 75p each, meaning this deal could save you over 50% compared to other supermarkets.
Bargain hunters have already taken to deal-sharing sites like HotUKDeals to rave about the discount.
One impressed shopper wrote: “Rarely see these sub 50p each so this is a good deal IMO.”
Other supermarkets are still selling them at higher prices with Tesco charging 75p each and Morrisons offering one egg for £1 – the price of three at Farmfoods.
The closest deal we’ve found to the three for £1 bargain is at Asda, where chocolate lovers can pick up a Creme Egg for 67p each.
That means, if you buy three individually, it will work out at £2.01.
Alternatively, if you’re stocking up on eggs ahead of Easter, it may be worth going for a larger pack. Ocado is currently selling a five-pack of Creme Eggs for £3 down from £3.50.
You can even go one step further and pick up a medium-sized Cadbury Creme Egg Easter Egg for £3 down from £4.50 at Ocado.
The exact same Easter egg sells for £5 at Waitrose, so you’ll be saving a whole £2.
Remember it is always good to shop around to make sure you’re getting the cheapest deal.
The closer it gets to Easter, the more deals you’re likely to see as retailers ramp up their offerings in a bid to get your cash.
To compare the cost of items across different retailers, you can use shopping comparison tools such as Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk.
It seems it’s not just Creme Eggs that are seeing huge price drops, as Morrisons has slashed the price of a number of its big packs of Cadbury chocolates to just 87p.
One savvy shopper shared the deal in a Facebook group, posting: “Morrisons 87p all different ones not just the one.”
Chocolates on offer include Bitsa Wispa, Crunchie Rocks, Oreo Bites, and Cadbury Animals, all for a fraction of their usual price.
The 110g bags usually range anywhere between £1.75 to £2 at the major supermarkets – so you’re getting a real sweet treat.
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.
