Upsy Daisy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I'm with you on the Easter displays. Why can't we wait til at least Feb before we have to look at rows of Easter eggs? Those on the shelves today will probably be out of date by Easter! However (and it is a big however) I LOVE CREME EGGS !!!!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on them and they most certainly won't get anywhere near their use-by dates in my house Edited December 29, 2009 by Upsy Daisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 i bought mini eggs in our local papershop on christmas eve to cheer myself up as i was so fed up with christmas and families! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 a garage near me has had the maltesers bunnies and creme eggs, galaxy eggs and mars eggs for over a month!! As a Tesco employee, even I am fed up with the decorations still being up for one festive season, while the shelves are being filled for another 4 months away.

scottiedog Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Saw all the hot cross buns in Tesco this morning. Also smelt the hot cross bun smell being pumped through the heating system! When do we get a break. Does not make the seasonal food special and something to look forward to! I've had my rant!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) I don't remember seeing any evidence of this madness in Sainsburys this morning..........mind you I would be the first to admit that I do supermarket shopping on some form of auto pilot!!!

Sue R Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I might be talking rubbish, but think Sainsbury's have had some sort of vision. They were quite late with most of their Christmas stuff this year and when I finally got to have a nosy around this evening there were NO SIGNS AT ALL of any pre-season excess of anything - or post-season sell-offs! (Blast!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We have a rather large Sainsburys and there were boxes and boxes of wrapping paper and tree decorations, cards etc. being sold off today. Bought a really lovely cheap tree for the children to "play" with next year as one of the threads suggested, they can wreck it if they want to, it cost £4., but the idea is they can decorate and re-decorate it as many times as they like. Must admit - didn't see any eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 not unusual to find hot cross buns on boxing day or first day open after Christmas... although our Asda sells them all year round anyway... I love their loaves made with the same dough... so much easier to put in toaster...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woodentop Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 No sign of easter in my Sainsburys but - changing the subject - if you want bargains for next Christmas go to your local card factory, I bought the biggest bag of paper, cards, tags and money wallets for £5.50 today. It was fantastic - I even got hubbys card! and lovely cards for children (most of hem charity cards as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
