    A facebook advert for tesco says

    *In-store and online until Friday, 9th March

    However when you click on "shop now" in the same ad there are no 5 for 5 available.

    The yellow label in the shop last night still had 6-3-18 as the end date.

    the "medium" eggs which were 4.49 and 5 for 5 are now 2.49. Online anyway.

    and that is half price.

    It has 5 eggs. You get 5 of the small ones for a fiver, with 1 egg each and overall weight is 690g.

    I saw a guy with several kids and I think they were picking a few each, far better value and probably less likely to demolish the same amount of chocolate in 1 sitting.

    Also more variety in being able to get several small ones.

    I saw a selection of chocolates in this one in debenhams. http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_311100218299_-1

    Surprised more do not do this, like christmas selection boxes.

    you might have missed the boat. I think last year all those offers stopped around now, i.e. ~2 weeks before easter sunday.

    5 for 5? or maybe you just mean offers, the offers will continue, many are bogus, but the really good offers like 3/3 and 5/5 are unlikely to be seen again.

    it was defintiely not in my tesco on saturday, it was full of really big fancy eggs, only a handful of small ones available.

    In an earlier post I had cut & pasted
    Any 5 For 5.00 Save 7.45 valid from 7/3/2018 until 9/3/2018

    And do not remember seeing the 5 for 5 after that date.

    Online it is showing 3 for 5

    Local LIDL (Wexford) had them marked down yesterday with handwritten signs to 1.29 - maybe in response to ALDI. Def had Smarties and KitKat, think they had Cadbury's Creme Egg and umm Buttons I think.

    The lidl catalogue I got yesterday had something like "check instore for prices" written about the easter eggs. Like they will not necessarily be priced the same in all shops.

    the mediums show as 3 for €5

    ALDI reduces medium eggs to €1 today, mars, kit Kat, buttons and cream egg ones.

    Edit * Just got some all of the above reduced to 99c from €1.29.

    That's done on items they know there will be a price war on and as the catalogue is printed a few weeks in advance they don't know what price will be charged.

    Easter Eggs are now a loss leader and are used to attract shoppers.

    Exactly, plus all offers are the same in every lidl in Ireland, except for items with 30% off sticker

    But they seem to sell out pretty quick as soon as they hit the shelves.
    So any live heavily stocked sightings would be good :p
