If you've still got Easter eggs to buy, make sure you don’t get caught out by this sneaky swindle...
With Easter just days away, all you chocoholics out there are no doubt dying to sink your teeth into some Easter egg.
But if you’ve yet to make a trip to the supermarket to pick up eggs for your loved ones, you need to watch out. That’s because Easter egg manufacturers are swindling us out of our hard-earned cash, and, according to mySupermarket.co.uk, have downsized their eggs by as much as 38% compared to last year!
To make matters worse, while the size has gone down, in some cases, the price of these eggs has actually gone up! So shoppers are getting far less chocolate for even more money.
Although the price of Easter eggs has dropped by an average of 7% this year – thanks to numerous special offers – mySupermarket.co.uk reckons shoppers could be paying as much as £1 more for a smaller egg. What a rip-off!
