The price of the Mini Eggs Chocolate Bag has increased by 25 per cent in major retailers, such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons, from £1 to £1.25. The price hike of the popular Easter products has left scores of shoppers fuming - with one fan in particular capturing the apparent mood with a post on X. Rowena Coxwell wrote on 19 January: 'Having to take out a loan to buy a bag of Mini Eggs wtf are these prices.'
