Title: Cheap Easter eggs
Post by: on April 16, 2006, 07:36:42 pm

I was in a Co-op and a Woolworths today. Not one egg!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even full price!

I wonder if the retailers have a sale or return agreement with the manufacturers this year?

My local Sainsbury's was a good bet last year.  They were closed today though.

I think retailers haven't over-ordered as much in the last couple of years. I think we'll be better off trying the pound shops or places like Home Bargains to get cheap eggs.

I was in Woolies on Saturday and there were no eggs either. Where the eggs used to be was full of gardening stuff and patio furniture!

I havent seen any either. On Good Friday all they had left were boring old Cadbury eggs. I didnt even manage to get the fruit and nut shell one I wanted.

Somerfield had them half-price today but only smallish Cadbury ones - Creme Egg, Mini Egg, Chocolate Buttons.

I do too and the one I had actually had the button INSIDE the egg, so it separated into two proper halves instead of exploding all over the room!

Tesco had all their eggs half price on Monday. There were some goods one left as well. Even the Creme eggs were half price.
