10 you say?

Cheap for a reason. These have been ruined with cheaper inferior chocolate.

This "deal" is a perfect example of how big companies like Mondelez can keep shafting consumers.

This offer usually runs at least once every year for the same price (£1 per box).

Except recently, they:
• Reduced the number of eggs per pack from 6 to 5
• Reduced the weight of each egg
• Changed the recipe to use a lower-quality "chocolate"

So while previously you could get 6 semi-decent eggs for £1, now you get 5 lighter, inferior scum-tier eggs for the same price - but because it's a "great deal!" consumers lap it up and vote it up to 1000°!

No wonder these giant companies keep pulling nonsense like this!

This. The Kraft takeover has led to a number of poor decisions, this is probably the worst.

The WHOLE country is getting TAKEN FOR A RIDE by ALL supermarkets and retailers of everything . NONE of them can be trusted to stop CONFUSING the shopper with their corporate GREED.

3 eggs for a pound today in Tesco filling stations so they must be getting ready to INCREASE price to 80 Pence each for Easter

Hi,
Not really if you go on Amazon they have been doing full sealed boxes of 48 post free for £15 and that has been on for weeks

That'd be a good idea, but nah gonna use them to give away to customers over the Easter period :smiley:

Kraft own Cadbury's.
Cadbury's is also a BRAND, that's why the name is still on there.

That's like asking "Why do Audi cars have Audi on them if they are owned by VW?"

unfortunately not in newton abbot :disappointed:

I'm assuming Ebay is going to see a small flood of your 'wares' from this point on, for a wee bit, huh?. :wink:

Lucky you!.

You should have insisted on a Baker's dozen, huh?, dwl!, lol. :-)

I luvvvvvvvvvvvvvv my chocolate too!, but ..... WOW!!, hahahahaha. ;-)

I won't eat chocolate unless it's Hotel Chocolate! If I get a rush from the cocoa content then it's chocolate. 14% or 20% is Candy. Mondalez makes candy.

Mine was substituted with a 12 pack - so 12 for £2 instead of 10!! :smile:

Just bought 70 eggs for £14 winner!!

Yes,
Judging by many comments on here thou Tesco have been very lazy about changing the prices on the shelves , so if your store is not showing the 2 for £2 offer, make sure you get them Scanned , as this offer should be available in all stores and online .

Does this include tesco extra stores?

Get in my belly

Still marked up as £1.65 each at Haydock store, but scanning correctly as 2 for £2. Heat!

Also 3 for £1 at Tesco for single ones

£2 to find my world record attempt, bargain :smiley:

shame I have diabetes or I would buy a few packs

You were right the first time...

I can't. They taste the same to me. :laughing:

New Zealand and Oz kept the cocoa butter. UK got shafted with palm oil. Cadbury shifted production to Poland not Kraft.

They taste the same to me too. :laughing:

Gotta stock up on these, thanks op :smiley:

Is there a short expiry on these?

Doh normal price listed at my Tesco (Portsmouth). Will have to pop back tomorrow to see if they scan differently.

Got my 4 boxes from the High Road, Romford Tesco. Also showing as £1.65 each, asked a member of staff and they scanned a box with their phone and confirmed it was 2 for £2.

I need that app! :laughing:

Nothing on shelf edge or anything at Fleets Corner, Poole but just bagged myself 6 boxes for £6..

thanks OP!

Just got 4 boxes thanks op!

Still showing as £1.65 with no promotional signs at Ellon, and staff I asked were unaware of the offer. Did go through till at 2 for £2, so thanks to OP for a cracking deal

What a weirdo, why on earth would someone do that?!!?!

I'm going to put it out there but I prefer them now. Not as sickly as they used to be. Great price!!

No I was on holiday thousands of miles away from all the lying two faced politicians and millionaire business people who as usual can not admit the truth OR TELL the truth. And we are STILL getting lied to and will continue to be lied to until we have honest decent politicians that are ONLY INTERESTED in BRITAIN and BRITISH people instead of giving away this country to the rest of the world.

Working fine in Norwich. Thanks op

I got the person to check on the till didn't go through.

Probably just haven't changed the shelf edge labels yet try scanning them and the offer should be there.
My local did the same last week with Malteasers Easter Family packs which were £1.50 but showing at £3.00 on the shelf but scanned at the offer price , and they currently have the Smarties Mini eggs priced on the shelf at £1.00, but again on offer, and scanning at 50p .

bought 20 packs and it is indeed on offer

did you scan both ? or purchase 2 . Wasn't promoted but did indeed go through for 2 for £2

​wasnt on offer in mine either and it's an extra store.

not showing the offer in mine.

I love them must not buy :smiley:

This offer is not on in Tesco. They are £1.65 a pack no offer.

Casburys are in partnership with the dentist!

I can't tell the difference, and at the end of the day it's still chocolate and still has its icing centre

Love them :smiley:

They aren't smaller in the UK.

Because Cadbury is a company owned by Kraft (another, bigger company). That's pretty much it.

I think it's good that cream eggs are now smaller. Stop's people eating too much junk!
Earlier I ate a full pouch of kit Kat minis :disappointed: so glad the bags are now smaller.

I'm not sure of this year but creme eggs have always been the same size in the UK.

5 and 12

Swiss Chocolate?, mmmmmmmmmmmm, YUM YUM YUM, hehehehe. :-)

What old sizes? What size were the old ones compared to the new ones?

Problem is, they will always sell as parents/grandparents/aunties/uncles etc who don't eat them will buy them for the kids. Only if there was a real boycott of them would anything change. Although that change would probably be them pulling them out of production.

Doesn't bother me anyway, I'm a Lindor chocolate egg man!

I'm not sure on this year but the size of the creme eggs in the UK have not been reduced and I doubt they have this year.

YUCK YUCK YUCK!!, hahahahaha.

For some 'unknown reason', a couple of Mr. Hanky's from South Park come to mind?, loooool.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Can't believe so many people won't eat chocolate of any form unless it's Dairy Milk?!

Yes they taste slightly different now, the same way most chocolate bars have differences in taste.

The overriding flavour was always the 'creme' anyway, I can hardly taste the difference tbh.

Your BRAVE?.

If I was to be able to purchase my 2 x 5 of these from tomorrow going, I can promise you straight, that my 10 will NOT 1 week! (or even last the remainder of what's left of the half-week!), how much moreso a few months till Easter time, etc?.

You have more will-power there than most ..... hehehe. :-)

I think you should try it too.

They're not as bad as everyone is making it out to be?.

Not as good (given), but fairly decent anyway ...

Horses for courses really? (I think they're fine anyway). :-)

If that be all true, then, so much for a 'free market', huh?. :-(

​was boxes of 5 and 10 last year too

​3 for a pound in my poundland

​So that's what is hiding behind that one pub*c hair.

Is it just me or has the smarties, mini eggs chocolate changed too? And rather than the chocolate being orangey in the orange egg they'd just coated the shell in orange flavouring instead?

Genuinely can't tell the difference between old and new...

cold
used to be 6 so 12 in total should be!

Never liked them when they were made by Cadbury!

Thanks OP but I am afraid I am in boycott Cadbury camp, the Cadbury cream eggs are horrible since they changed the recipe so it's not a deal for me. More people should stop buying them to force the company to revert to the old recipe and sizes as others have said it's about time the consumer stood up and was counted in this country, just my opinion of course each to their own.

​I did the same

I can't stand the bile-flavoured aftertaste of these new ones. I'd pay £2 for one old recipe creme egg if anyone can find that deal?

That's why they taste like s#!t.

Thats a yolk, surely

Funny how despite all these complaints about people not liking this product, sales don't seem to be affected, they are still available in virtually every shop that sell chocolate at the moment.
Does lead me to think that someone still likes them and buys them , and more often than not at a much higher price than this deal.

​They're not shafting anybody! The pound is worth a lot less than it used to be, cocoa is paid for in dollars.

​yes and absolutely the sanest way to tackle this problem is to run away from the only organisation that could possibly stand up to the march of such corporatism, isn't it?

we'll teach them! we're Britain, don't you know! and the first thing we'll do is go running to the US, where such GM is encouraged, with our begging bowl out.

You know the Europeans are laughing at us, right?

Euww gross, don't fancy a cream egg now.

Plus there the size of my left testicle

Be fair, even Kraft don't pretend that it tastes the same - only that the chocolate is "similar".

In your opinion.

​ they taste horrible now. they've gone from my favourite to I'll never eat again :disappointed:

This "deal" is a perfect example of how big companies like Mondelez can keep shafting consumers.

This offer usually runs at least once every year for the same price (£1 per box).

Except recently, they:
• Reduced the number of eggs per pack from 6 to 5

No wonder these giant companies keep pulling nonsense like this!

Oh.

Will it be the big Tesco's or the locals as well ??

Had one at the weekend and straight away I noticed that the chocolate taste/texture was off.

Galaxy or Cadbury Caramel eggs it is!

They don't taste the same at all, used to be addicted to the damn things, had none since.

Question are the mini creme eggs the same chocolate?

What has voting brexit got to do with the price of cream eggs :stuck_out_tongue:

I get the feeling you voted brexit

Do they sell Creme Eggs all year round?

Well DONT get so uptite about it there is NOTHING BRITISH these days.
Remember who said
""Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.""
when he tried to take over the world ?
Well TEN companies have just about TAKEN OVER THE WORLD and they are now buying each other out.
Probably the worst one is the one that sells GM seeds that only provide INFERTILE crops so farmers can only BUY MORE instead of saving their own to use next season.

Can anyone inform me if this deal contains caramel ones or not

Cheap for a reason. These have been ruined with cheaper inferior chocolate.

I don't think I've tried one of these since Kraft took over. I'm not too sure it's worth buying the 10 for £2 if they're really as awful as you're all saying they are! :disappointed:

That's allot of tooth decay for your buck

man poundland doing these packs for £2 I thought hell with that I saw the same packs even cheaper in lidl and I think pound stretcher . Yet 3 separate eggs for a £1 in poundland when I went back a day later . Hold of for lidl they do these packs for 50p after easter . But as Tesco doing this deal I be there tomoz

I will be there lol . Last year in lidl west Croydon went in I saw shelf loads packs for 50p . Bought about 30 packs . May have been more in the pack to . Great deal . It will be every man for him self getting these tomorrow lol

I do. In about 1967.

I considered them overpriced even then considering what else I could buy for 6d at the sweet shop.

Chocolate tools, chocolate logs, Mo Jos, Fruit Salads, flying saucers, gobstoppers, quiz bars, penny arrows - all at 1d or less.

REMEMBER WHEN these used to be sixpence each in REAL money???? That is 2.5 pence in todays WORTHLESS money.
AND they should be called Mondelez/Kraft Crème eggs because Cadbury was bought out by them and they are like so many of these FOREIGN companies that now own MOST of BRITAINS Industry and Manufacturing, ETC ,Closed factories, Increased Unemployment, INCREASED Prices, creating massive inflation to raise profits ALL going abroad and ALL with our TRUSTED governments encouragement and assistance. Surprised that Europe is not encouraging us more to leave the common market. They probably only want us to stay because we are a nation of suckers and are easy to MILK.

They're horrible since the new US owners changed the recipe. I wouldn't eat them if they were giving them away.

Thanks op, Tesco it is tomorrow :laughing:

​Yep - taste terrible after they changed from Dairy Milk chocolate and I won't be tempted back until they change. :wink:

Oh, it gets worse, imagine what colour they would be coming out, a nice mix of brown and white

Scotch creme egg anyone? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/how-make-scotch-creme-eggs-7419638

Good for Easter Fairs and prizes.

They don't taste very nice anymore.

And my fella paid 45p for one the other day :laughing: when he sees this deal he be going on a rant :neutral_face:

I'm not sure if I'd even want ten Creme Eggs these days. Kraft have spoiled them.

Phew! I believe it has something to do with the laws governing retail. A retailer has to sell a product at full price for a set amount of time before the product can be in a promotion. Since they can't just increase the price of a creme egg I think they might put it on promotion now and then before easter it goes up to full price so when the demand is there customers will pay more.

I haven't had a crème egg since they changed the recipe to cheapen the product, and I don't buy Cadburys anymore. A cheap product sold at a high price, or even when that price is dropped a little isn't much of a bargain. (IMHO)

So 20p an egg not bad at all

10 you say?

My bad!, then it's changed?.

As it was only 2 for £1 when I was in there only 1 week ago.

Fair enough though ...

went in tesco all excited to see it starts tomorrow

Its 3 for £1 on the creme eggs at poundland

Hehehehe, I've only ever subconsciously thought about this too mind (which is interesting really), some years back I thought it was just me that saw a shift in the tide like that?.

I was like .... !!!

That aside though, it still beats the current deal of these at PoundLand, of 2 Cadburys Eggs for £1.

So 10 for £2 isn't that bad at all really?. :-)

why do they still say cadburys on them if there kraft? n who buys eggs in a 5 unless u get hone n realise the sixth 1 was broken

good price to buy.

Esso service stations have 2 for £1 in Blackpool just before the M55, not sure if it's nationwide though. amazing how these go down in price months before easter so they can boost the price up in the weeks shortly before easter.

Nice find op

Oh I voted cold didn't see it was 2 packs for £2 :disappointed:
Pretend heat...
