    I also bought mine when on B2G2F in Tesco, noticed yesterday hardly anything left - mainly the really expensive ones and the ones with a mug. Overheard a lady asking if they were getting more and told no, that's all we have left now.
  • Both Asda and Tesco have sold out of eggs, just a few crappy makes left. They are getting canny now and don't order as many. So you could be out of luck on Monday Women were screaming at the assitants because they couldn't get any, although they have bean on sale since christmas. One woman said,"what will my kids do now,?you don't care do you? " Err, no not at all.

    Wait until Monday and if they haven't been reduced just tell the the kids the Easter bunny got run over by a fat old drunken sleigh driver who didn't stop.

    I doubt it. The Christmas stuff will probably be arriving on Thursday.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    Sad that this is so close to reality.
  • My local BP garage always has loads of Easter eggs reduced in price afterwards. Although the staff tend to buy all the good ones first!

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

    Just been to Morrisons and 3/4 of the eggs have gone and been replaced by plastic storage boxes. Of the few that are left, the cheapest one was £6.

    Well, ASDA Longwell Green , Bristol was certainly uncontaminated by Easter Eggs earlier today, much to the chagrin of myself, and quite a few other potential customers, both young and old.

    Fair enough. If they can't be @rsed to stock stuff, we can't buy it. Your loss, ASDA.

  • When I passed Thorntons this morning there seemed quite a mountain left but, after saying that, customers were queuing out of the door so, by closing time tomorrow, they probably won't have much left either.

  • Can I ask a question? This is the question in my mind for many many years. What is the relationship or the connection of an egg to the so called Easter Sunday. Can you plese explain it to me? Thanks in advance.
