    I've been to Tesco and Asda earlier in the week and Morrisons today and they didn't have a lot of stock left then. No more stock was expected either.
  • I wouldn't risk it personally. Last year our local shops had nothing left on Easter Saturday.........

    Hi
    In previous years I've had the frantic dash round trying to get Easter Eggs because I left it to the last minute so now I always buy in advance. There don't seem to be lots left after Easter these days.
    When I was a child we were given the option of a small size Easter egg on Easter sunday or wait & get a big one half price on Easter monday. We always waited & got a big one !

    Last year i found no eggs in my local store on Saturday, so i would not risk the wait.
  • I definitely wouldn't risk it.....in Llandudno Asda today very few eggs available, Aldi a lot more but going fast and next to nothing in Home Bargains, I think the big shops are really starting to tighten up on stock ordering, I can remember the days when you could go on Easter Monday and buy loads of half price or less eggs, the same after Christmas with boxes of biscuits and crackers...alas no more :(

    My local Morrisons had lots left last year, but they didn't reduce the price until the Wednesday.
