Topic: Easter eggs

I have just logged onto the Tesco grocery site.

There is a feature on Easter eggs.

What?

Lent this year does not start until 2 March 2022.

Re: Easter eggs

Tesco is not alone! Sainsbury’s says:

Easter is coming
Shop now

The other major UK supermarkets seem to prefer to get Valentine’s Day out of the way first.

Re: Easter eggs

The thing is, if people buy Easter eggs now, will they need to buy replacements later?

Apparently some people buy boxes of chocolates early ready for Christmas then need to buy a replacement box because having them in the house they cannot resist the temptation to "just have one".

But recursively.

Tesco has some Easter eggs on a Clubcard price until 8 February 2022.

Tesco has a special offer of a meal for two.

Though I suppose someone alone could have a good feed.

Or two meals, if they have a refrigerator and a microwave!

Re: Easter eggs

Well, I suppose if there is a family with one or more children, the main could be split up so that everybody gets a bit and pad it out with some vegetables, such as carrots.

Or pad it out with some stir-fried rice noodles?

And with some excellent boiled potatoes.
