A DISCOUNT store has sent sweet lovers into a frenzy after adding Galaxy Easter Eggs to the shelves for less than 50p.
The long-awaited Easter break is finally here, and if your secret stash of treats is running low, you may wish to plan a trip to a lesser-known discount retailer.

According to bargain-mad shoppers, Farmfoods is now selling Galaxy Creamy Truffle Mini Eggs for an incredible price – and you can get two packets for less than a quid.
The popular chocolate, currently going for just 49p, will set you back around £1.50 elsewhere, such as ASDA and Waitrose.
With their creamy ganache filling, smooth and silky chocolate coating, and stunning taste sensation, they’re a true delight to the senses.
Ideal for sharing with friends and family – or simply enjoying them yourself – they’re an Easter treat worth savouring this year.
The epic deal was spotted by one customer, Kelly Jones, who took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group to share the news.
Uploading a snap of the delicious find, Kelly dubbed the chocolates the ultimate ”Easter bargain”.
What’s more, not only is the price too good to sleep on, but there is also loads of stock left – so, if you have a Farmfoods nearby, it’s definitely worth a trip.
Farmfoods is a Scottish family business that’s been running for the past 60 years.
While they specialise in frozen food, they also sell “groceries, chilled foods, bread, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables along with a range of household items”.
“Our whole business and culture is focused on bringing our customers the best value on their shopping and because we are a private, family owned business you can trust that we want to be doing this for many years to come and therefore have all of our efforts focused on it,” they added on their website.

Recently, fans of the discount retailer were racing to stock up on chocolate eggs, after spotting them for just 89p a pop in their local supermarket.
Danni took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a snap of the two Easter eggs she’d picked up in Farmfoods in Wythenshawe.
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.
While the Cadbury’s Caramel Nibbles egg was 99p, the Cadbury Freddo one was even cheaper – at just 89p.
She added that staff there told her the deal was going on across all Farmfoods stores.
Others took to the comments section to say they’d also found some other 89p eggs in the store – the white chocolate Cadbury Buttons egg, and a Milkybar egg.
“I got both of these for 89p each at Farmfoods,” one person wrote.
“I just paid £1.50,” another fumed after shelling out almost double for the same egg in a different store.
“I really need to go!” a third insisted.
While someone else tagged a friend and said: “Go get loads for our army of kids haha!”
For anyone who doesn’t have a Farmfoods local to them, the small eggs are also being sold for 99p in Heron Foods.
