How many Easter eggs did you buy?

Whilst going through the checkout at Sainsbury's on Saturday a couple at the next line had a dozen Easter eggs on the belt :eek:.

This got me wondering about how many DFW members bought.

Our purchase this year was 2 and if I can figure it out there may be a poll attached.

    The prices all seemed good this year, everywhere had special offers :T

    None here, me and OH just bought a bar of chocolate for each other as we enjoy it more and it's cheaper. Step kids are away with their mother over easter so we haven't got any for them yet, will see if we can maybe pick up a bargain tomorrow or we'll just get them their favourite chocolate instead. They're not really big into being spoilt for easter so it's not a big deal if they don't get an egg, they'll appreciate whatever we do for them just as much.

    I got my kids clothes. They've still ended up with about 20 eggs from other people, as well as clothes and toys from family, so they didn't miss out! I usually get friend's kids some eggs, but we just regifted some of ours as we had so many!

    For the 1st time in yrs it felt great just being able to buy my parents an easter egg for a change - (remembering past easters I'd been totally not in a position due to being so bad then with money so the achivement was way better then any chocolate! :j) I did an offer at Sainsburys:EasterBun though I did leave it till Good Friday when it looked like the choice in my nearest town had definately scaled down!!!!

    I also brought myself a minnie mouse one - only cause it came with a cute mug to (not bad for £3 and there will always be a use for mugs I figured!) and the choc damage was kept minimal!!!
