SHOPPERS have hours left to bag large Easter eggs for just £2 at a major supermarket.

The offer began in February and has been running for a couple of weeks.

You can also pick up the eggs online too, so if you have a Tesco delivery or click and collect planned you can still bag a bargain utill 11.59pm.
Remember if you are ordering online you will need to factor in a delivery charge.
You can find your nearest Tesco using the store locator tool on the chain's website.
It's important to note all of the eggs come in different sizes but that won’t change the Clubcard price.
You may need to head to a few different stores if you're after a specific Easter egg.
What is a Tesco Clubcard?
THE Tesco Clubcard is a way for customers to earn points when shopping which can be turned into vouchers.
Customers can exchange points or up to two times their value with over 100 Reward Partners.
The partners include subscriptions to services such as Disney+, meals out at restaurants including Pizza Express and Zizzis, and holidays with the likes of Eurocamp.
You can also swap vouchers for money off your Tesco mobile bill.
They can also be used on days out at Alton Towers and Hotels.com.
Your vouchers can be used to cut the cost of car fuel at Tesco pumps.
How much you can save depends on how many points you exchange for money off vouchers.
You can keep track of them on the Tesco Grocery and Clubcard app.
What other offers are available?
Tesco isn’t the only supermarket which is offering its customers the chance to stock up on bargains.
Chains have been stocking their shelves with treats as it gets closer to the big day, and a price war has already kicked off.
Deals over the past few weeks have included eggs for as little as 75p.
Sainsbury's is also selling large size eggs for £2 from £3.25 - if you have a Nectar card.
Whereas Morrisons has cut the cost of its extra large eggs from £5 to £3.50.
This offer is only available until March 10 though so you'll need to be quick.
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.
How does the Tesco Clubcard scheme work?
Tesco's Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop, these points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or other reward partner schemes.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your card or app.
Drivers using a Clubcard now get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you £1.50, for example.
You'll need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
These vouchers can either be worth the face value to spend in-store at Tesco, or you can double their worth to spend at reward partners, including restaurants, and on days out.
Loyalty card holders can also get cheaper prices on over 8,000 items thanks to Clubcard Prices.
These Clubcard prices save the average member £351 on their annual shop, according to Tesco.
How can I save on my supermarket shop?
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
