Easter is almost here – but where can you buy the cheapest chocolate eggs at a cracking price?

With the cost of living crisis clobbering household bills, it pays to shop around for the best price.

Which? has analysed deals from the Big Four grocers – Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons – as well as Aldi, Lidl, Ocado and Waitrose.

Brands included in their survey feature favourites such as Cadbury and Ferrero.

Asda was cheaper or the same price for four eggs, while Lidl and Morrisons were cheaper or the same price for three eggs each.

Ocado and Waitrose weren't the cheapest for any of the eggs, while Aldi and Lidl stock fewer branded products than traditional supermarkets.

The biggest differences in cost were for the Cadbury Buttons and Cadbury Creme Eggs, with both 59% more expensive at Waitrose compared with the cheapest supermarkets.

For those looking to buy a giant Easter egg, the Cadbury Crunchie Giant Egg was £3.57 more at Ocado and Tesco compared to Asda (£8.53).

Reena Sewraz, Senior Editor Which? Money said: “With a difference of over £3.50 on a giant Easter egg, our analysis shows how important it is to shop around, especially if you have a specific brand in mind.

"Anyone looking to stretch their cash even further should check the supermarket's own brand options which might be just as tasty for a fraction of the price.”

Where can you buy the cheapest Easter eggs?

The below prices are based on seven popular branded eggs at the supermarkets from March 21 until April 3.

Prices may change in the run up to Easter. If you can hold out, most supermarkets will drastically reduce the price of their eggs after Easter Sunday.

This year, Easter Sunday falls on April 17.

Both the Friday before (April 15, Good Friday) and the Monday after (April 18, Easter Monday) will be bank holidays.
