Sainsbury's recently reduced the price of all large Easter eggs to just £4 for all Nectar card holders.

The wide range included Cadbury and Galaxy but shoppers have just hours to nab the deal as it ends today.
Before the offer most extra large-size chocolate Easter eggs were priced at £6 and this will be the price if you purchase the chocolate eggs without a Nectar card.
Here’s a list of all the chocolate Easter eggs that are included in the deal:
- Cadbury Mini Eggs Chocolate Easter Egg 232g
- Giant Cadbury Easter Egg with Dairy Milk & Caramel Bars 245g
- Cadbury Creme Egg Giant Easter Egg 235g
- Galaxy Milk Chocolate Extra Large Easter Egg 268g
- Cadbury Giant Easter Egg with Twirl Milk Chocolate & Orange Bars 241g
- Smarties Dinosaur Milk Chocolate Giant Easter Egg 226g
- Smarties Sea Splash Milk Chocolate Giant Easter Egg 226g
- Giant Cadbury Easter Egg with Flake Bars 231.5g
- KitKat Chunky Milk & White Chocolate Giant Easter Egg 230g
- Maltesers Bunnies Easter Egg 236g
- M&M’s Giant Milk Chocolate & Peanut Easter Egg 313g
- KitKat Bunny Milk Chocolate Giant Easter Egg 234g
By comparison extra large Easter eggs otherwise known as "giant" Easter eggs usually go for around £5 to £11.
But if you can't manage to get to a store before this deal ends it's not all bad news.
The retailer is launching another Nectar card deal which will allow shoppers to purchase premium Easter Eggs up to 37% off.
Below are the Taste the Difference Premium Eggs available which will be available with Nectar Prices:

Nectar Card: The three simple ways to get one
How does the loyalty scheme work?
Nectar card holders can collect points when shopping in-store and online.
You receive one loyalty point for every £1 spent with Sainsbury's.
You also get one point for every £1 spent on fuel bought at Sainsbury's petrol stations and can pick up points at hundreds of partners as well, including Esso and eBay.
The Nectar Card also gives customers exclusive discounts on hundreds of products in the same way a Tesco Clubcard does.
You can register and download an e-Nectar Card by downloading the app on your smartphone.
Alternatively, you can join in-store or register on their website.
All you do is swipe the card every time you shop and points will be added to your account so you can get money off future purchases.
Each point is effectively worth 0.5p, meaning you need 500 points to get £2.50 off.
Tesco launched a similar deal last week with a selection of more than 20 large chocolate Easter dropping in price to £2 for all Clubcard users.
Similarly, Morrisons has slashed the price of its Easter eggs to 75p if you have a More card.
Remember it is always good to shop around to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.
The closer it gets to Easter the more likely it is that other retailers will start competing to be the cheapest in a bid to get your cash.
You can use shopping comparison tools such as Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk to compare the cost of items across different retailers.
Also, remember that there is a chance you can get a different offer in-store to what is online so keep your eyes peeled.
