Easter eggs reduced

Bossworld

Came up on a Google search. Both Morrisons near us still had a tonne of stock of the "mid"-sized ones as of Friday evening when I last did a shop.

Partner had a cursory look while she was passing on Mon and Tues, and other than a couple of high end ones, nothing to be seen.

Appreciate warehouse costs mean its unviable to keep them but how on earth have they all been cleared that quickly? Reading through other comments and aware in previous years (2023?) they under-estimated demand, but just cannot see how everything was cleared that quick, unless it was shifted somewhere more central.

Suppose there's a chance the staff got them in which case fair enough.

They probably have a use by date of 2028 so will be back on the shelves next easter lol

Sainsbury's were piled high with eggs on Saturday night just before close, no sign come Monday. Morrisons was the same, however at least they had creme egg bars for 75p and some reductions on smaller stuff, but again no sign of eggs.

Tesco eggs half full price so nothing spectacular. Shed loads of creme eggs, 3 x 1m full height bays, £3 for 8 pack and £2 for 5 pack.

Lidl 25% off so dearer than pre Easter

Asda no sign of anything Easter egg related so must have cleared the stock out rather than reduce.

Asda also are still selling the large box of Victoria biscuits at full price, the one that people only buy at Christmas and shops reduce to half price on Boxing day - the huge stack just sits there.

Tesco near work (a superstore but not an Extra) had about 7-8 full bays plus several shippers and bulk stacks this morning. Most things are half price but that's half of the notional full price, not the actual Clubcard price that customers would have paid before Easter.

I imagine it will mostly sit there for the next few days, then they'll do 75% or even 90% off and it will all clear in a few hours.

From today all Easter chocolate is 75% off in Waitrose. Loads left in the two stores near me.
e.g. individual Creme Eggs (milk / white / Biscoff) - 21p
Malteser bunnies - 20p
Lindt hens eggs - 62p
All sizes of boxed eggs included such as the amazing flat No1 ones for £3 😋

Agree. Yesterday Waitrose had vast quantities of Easter eggs, all 50% off. Across the aisle were the equivalent chocolate bars, all of which cost much less per gram - even the premium brands. Even at 75% off I doubt the eggs will be as cheap. You can’t eat the wrapping - so why pay for it?

Apparently Morrisons have reduced theirs now

Went to Tesco yesterday and they had loads of eggs out but they were still £2.25 for the size which from above appear to be £1.50 in Morrisons.

I did pick up a few cheap things in Co-Op. Two of the small Terry’s popping candy eggs (which were previously between £1.50 and £2) and a 200g bar of mini egg chocolate - each were 75p.
