300 easter eggs - help!

Help! Boss wants me to buy 300 easter eggs (creme eggs or similar) for a staff incentive. They need to be delivered to work.

Any ideas? I looked on Tesco but they limit sales to 10 per customer.

    I saw a customer leaving sainsburys last year with wheeled crates full of easter eggs so maybe if you give a store a phone they might be able to sort something like that out? I heard there is a surplus of easter eggs so it might work if you speak to somebody then get them to override it.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    You could ask your local little shops: perhaps give them a boost during the recession, rather than going through the big chains? If you put your order in now, perhaps your newsagent/ corner shop can arrange something? They get their stock from cash and carries or direct merchant orders, so they should be able to say yay or nay pretty quickly.

    Have you thought of contacting Cadburys? Explain you have been asked to source 300 and are having difficulty getting anyone to sell you that many - if nothing else they might be able to point you in the right direction.
