Just been into my local Tesco Extra (central Scotland) and the Easter isle is fully stocked with Easter eggs and baskets of mini eggs and creams eggs everywhere, you wouldn't know it's Good Friday tomorrow, bizarre!

Anyone been able to find mini eggs today? I need them for my Easter cake and have looked in Morrisons, Aldi and Sainsburys, also local co op and B&M as well. DD works in newsagent and says their tub of loose mini eggs was empty today with lots of people coming in and asking...

<sigh> I am normally more organised and do have big eggs but looks as tho my easter cake will be decorated with peanut M&Ms at this rate Grin

Plenty in my local Lidl today.

Happens every year. I always end up trying small newsagents in desperation. I only want a couple of bags for a cake!

I’m afraid it’s me. Sorry.

NImumconfused · 07/04/2023 18:51

There were bucket loads of them in our Tesco this afternoon, and crème eggs and big Easter eggs - this time last year I remember the shelves being empty.

clary · 07/04/2023 18:56

Exactly @Schmutter jyst one bag will do! Will try Lidl

thesnailandthewhale · 07/04/2023 19:19

Hardly any around here for a week or two now, bucketloads of the mini egg chocolate bars though - they're sooo not the same!

Northernsouloldies · 07/04/2023 19:23

Only in the actual packet. The bag is mostly air.

stillherenow · 07/04/2023 19:41

This happened last year and I wanted them for a cake so I bought some weeks ago this year !!

ehb102 · 07/04/2023 19:45

All gone here. You can have mini egg cakes and mini egg bars and mini egg Easter eggs just not mini eggs. I bought Smarties and M&M eggs instead.

There’s been a tip doing the rounds online about microwaving them. Absolutely delicious and I’m afraid I have bought 853 bags in the last few weeks in order to enjoy the crispy melted goodness.

Loads in spar here

BakewellGin1 · 07/04/2023 20:10

I've been to Asda today who had crates of them near front doors.
Also noticed them in our co-op and shell garages

My dad, for the

liveforsummer · 07/04/2023 20:42

I've seen them about but according to dd they are popular on tik tok for microwaving them so that won't be helping

HumptyNumpty76 · 07/04/2023 20:47

I work in a small food shop....we've not had any in weeks! We've normally got loads right up to Easter weekend. My local Lidl had a few but not a lot.

bemusedmoose · 08/04/2023 16:26

Our tesco doesnt seem to have had anything mini egg based this year and alll the other shops dont either. A few places sell the small bags only but i really wanted some for weeks and there's none any where.

DeathWinsAGolfish · 08/04/2023 18:05

Lots in Waitrose this morning.
