Morrisons has announced it is selling Easter eggs for less than £1 each - but there's a catch.
Cadbury's eggs are going for just 75p down from £1.50, with firm favourites including Smarties, Malteasers, Mini Eggs and Aero included in the deal.
But the supermarket giants are imposing a cap on the number of the chocolate treats each customer can buy - with a rule of no more than 20 each.
While that's still a lot of chocolate, the half price deal has sent customers into a frenzy and Morrisons is limiting the number each person can buy to prevent stockpiling and empty shelves.
The offer is available right up until Easter Sunday on April 9, and even the Easter Bunny has reportedly been stocking up.
