SHOPPERS are racing to B&M after spotting Cadbury’s Daim Eggs back on shelves for just £1.50.
The Easter treat has returned after the Christmas version, Dairy Milk Robins, was discontinued – leaving shoppers gutted.

Now, sweet-toothed bargain hunters have taken to Facebook group Food Finds UK to share the good news.
One excited shopper posted a snap of the Daim-filled eggs (77g), writing: “Cadbury x Daim eggs spotted at B&M £1.50.”
Cadbury’s Daim Eggs are made of creamy Dairy Milk chocolate with crunchy caramelised almond pieces inside.
But with Easter fast approaching, shoppers are snapping them up quickly.
Last winter, Cadbury’s axed its Dairy Milk Daim Little Robins with some unhappy shoppers at the time complaining that “Christmas is cancelled”
The 77g bags contained individually wrapped solid milk chocolate eggs with crunchy almond and caramel Daim pieces.
Shoppers have previously labelled the chocolates as “the perfect stocking fillers” and “ideal for sharing”.
You can also currently buy the product on Ocado’s website for £1.85 or on Iceland’s website for £1.75 respectively.
However, shoppers would have to be mindful of minimum spending and delivery costs when buying online.
To put the discount in perspective, you can currently buy the 77g sweet treats on Amazon for £4.59.
Elsewhere, Farmfoods has dropped the price of Celebrations 550g tubs to just £2.99.
That makes it the cheapest deal on the market right now.
Meanwhile, other major bargains could be heading your way as Tesco’s plans to start giving yellow sticker deals to customers for free.
The UK’s biggest supermarket is set to introduce the freebies on food due to go out of date across selected Express stores as part of a trial.
The free products will be available for shoppers who visit these branches after 9.30pm.
The move comes as Tesco looks to cut its food waste.
The supermarket giant said it will continue giving some of the end-of-life products to charity as it currently does.
Staff will also get priority for the free products reduced earlier in the day.
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.
