The hollow egg, which comes with a packet of chocolate coated honeycomb sweets, originally costs £1.35.
The deal was shared on HotUkDeals, with many bargain hunters praising the find.
“Bring on the deals,” said one savvy shopper, with another adding “wow! That is cheap.”
And that is not the only egg on offer, other reports on Facebook have also shown that Aldi has reduced the cost of medium sized Cadbury Wispa eggs to 89.
Cadbury’s Marble Easter Egg, which weighs 372g, is also now scanning for £4.99 down from £10.95 at the German discounter.
It’s not guaranteed that every Aldi will have the offer, so it may be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest store by visiting stores.aldi.co.uk.
It’s also worth noting that Aldi will operate on reduced hours this Easter Monday.
Stores will be open from 8am to 8pm.
Many retailers are now slashing prices of the festive Easter treat to help shift stock.
Asda has also slashed the price of it’s KitKat Chunky Milk & White Chocolate Giant Easter Egg 230g from £4.96 to £2.49.
Ocado has also reduced the price of it’s 400g Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut Inclusions Ultimate Egg from £15 to £7.50.
Lindt chocolate Egg with Double Chocolate Truffles 260g is also reduced from £12 to £6.
How to save money at Aldi
Unlike other major grocers, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop.
Every week the store releases a list of special buys , which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices as part of its ‘super six’ deal.
It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish.
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.
