Default WARNING!! Easter Eggs Sighted In Tesco

I went into Tesco today and it was like being in a time warp (cue music). One one aisle you had Christmas chocolates being sold at reduced prices and on another, Easter eggs . I know Easter is quite early this year, but not this early!!

I'm sure Valentine cards will be out in the next couple of days or so too!

Well, seeing as we're talking about Easter I hope I can get hold of the Green and Blacks 70% cocoa solids Easter Egg that they did last year. It was sooo nice to be able to eat a chocolate egg like everyone else at Easter!

Asda had Easter adverts on the week after Christmas! I actually think it's disgraceful - like they're trying to make us wish our lives away. I think they shouldn't be stopped quite frankly. No Christmas ads until DECEMBER and NO Easter ads until after Valentines Day at least!

I agree, the current way the supermarkets do things is complete madness.

I've been away every Easter since 1998 - and now I'm home I can't eat Easter eggs

Does anyone know where I can get a low carb / diabetic type Easter egg for Easter? (I am immune to sugar alcohols by the way)

Easter eggs in Tesco's already It was only Orthodox Christmas yesterday. They should know better.

Robert, try Thornton's - they usually have a small range of diabetic (sugar-free) eggs

Robert,

I was going to suggest Thorntons too. Just keep your blinkers on when you're in there though . I might keep a look out for the Green & Blacks 70% cocoa egg though, as a treat.
