Families face a high street Easter egg hunt following evidence some supermarket websites have run out of supplies . The Tesco website carries a red letter warning stating : ‘ Sorry this product is currently not available ’ on the vast majority of popular big brand eggs . Easter eggs listed as unavailable at Tesco include a host under the Cadbury brand , including the Dairy Milk giant egg , Roses , Caramel , Milk Buttons , Oreo , Flake , Twirl , Heroes and Wispa . Other branded eggs that are apparently sold out include Rolo , Galaxy Indulgent , Kitkat Chunky , Toffee Crisp , Terrys Chocolate Orange and Ferrero Rocher . The evidence suggests that the supermarkets have miscalculated demand for the eggs , which have been at the centre of a price war give-away as part of a wider battle to tempt shoppers through the door . Industry research suggests the average price of an Easter Egg is down by 9.7per cent this year following a series of special promotions . Morrisons triggered the Easter Egg crunch by slashing the price of many medium versions of the big brands , such as Smarties , Rolo and Maltesers to just £1 . Tesco responded by offering Galaxy and Minstrel eggs on sale at a half-price £3 each with more pricey Thornton Premium eggs for sale with £2 off . Asda and Sainsbury ’ s have been offering their own deals . Similarly , the Morrisons website ( pictured ) is listing many top brands as ‘ out of stock ’ , while Asda ’ s web store also has only a limited range left . Shoppers reported that Tesco stopped selling many big brand Easter eggs on its website before the weekend and more popular products were added to the list by this morning . All four big brand giant eggs are unavailable , as are six out of eight large eggs and seven out of nine medium eggs . The firm ’ s website is still offering some more expensive luxury eggs and its own label creations . Despite the evidence from Tesco ’ s own website , a spokesman said : ‘ We have a fantastic range of Easter eggs available in stores and online , all at great prices and offering some amazing deals for customers . ’
