Some might decide not to gift Easter eggs in favour of cheaper alternatives.
Money blogger Ricky Willis, the brains behind Skint Dad on Facebook, recently shared an Easter Card with five chocolate bars inside from B&M as an alternative to traditional eggs.

Ricky asked: “Just saw this chocolate bar Easter set in B&M for £5.
“Worth it?”
Brits were quick to weigh in on the gift set, with some thinking it was perfect for kids but others thinking it was “a total waste of money”.
