Easter eggs - none left

[carrotsx5]

I've gone to M & S and Sainsbury's this afternoon, and there are no Easter eggs left . Literally none at all. Why??

I had the same issue too in Co Op and Tesco today.

Usually I'm so organised 🤦‍♀️

They decide how many to buy in based on last years sales figures. Obviously last year we were in lockdown, and thus not many sold. Plus when supermarkets decide how many to order I , that’s done way in advance so it was before boris announced we could meet outside. Hardly any left anywhere 🤦🏼‍♀️

None in my nearest Tesco this evening either, apart from two badly squashed ones on the discounted shelf.

Just been to Sainsbury's and Tesco's too, none left! Happened with advent calendars at end of November too, they must be clearing stock earlier.

That's why we bought the ones we wanted a couple of weeks ago as we've been caught out in the past

They have been selling Easter Eggs for months/weeks, it's Good Friday tomorrow with reduced trading hours, and the supermarkets are shut on Sunday so it's a bit like expecting to get a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve...

Waitrose had loads!

I was just thinking this today! It's so annoying. Not everyone will have their eggs yet, and I used to love getting them cheap afterwards 😋

Lidl only had dark chocolate this pm, luckily I had already bought mine

It’s always like this, is there none at all? We used to live near and Asda and a Sainos and Asda would always be sold out by the Thurs morning.....Sains would have some left but they’d be random ones like, After Eight or Fry’s Turkish Delight.....I used to love going in on the Mon and getting a half price Turkish Delight egg 😂

They had some in my local Tesco this afternoon. Small ones with Creme Eggs etc, about £1.25 I think.

Try small corner shops etc. In the first lockdown, the small shops often still had things even when the supermarkets' shelves were bare.

Yep, went to aldi and m&s today and there was nothing! Same thing with advent calendars too a few days before December, so annoying

Big supermarkets around me have practically sold out but I went to two smaller local style stores today, a Co-op and a Tesco Express and they had loads of varieties and loads of stock.

Try Aldi perhaps? I was in there this afternoon (obvs might be local) loads left (branded and Aldi’s own).

I actually don't remember having this issue in the past! Or maybe I was more organised in previous years I don't think to though... Might have to try Waitrose...

Nothing in the Easter isle at Asda by us either. I bought ours last week. But was shocked to see the isle looking like the locusts have ravaged it.

Same at both Tesco and Co-op near me today - I'm pretty sure they'd taken them down rather than sold out, though, the Easter section had vanished rather than being empty. Was a bit of a blow as I'd gone to buy things for the egg hunt I promised my son and my nephew, but luckily they're both toddlers so I don't think they'll notice that it's not the right shape as long as it's chocolate!

Local garages with spars had a few

They would want to sell through all stock at full price before close on Saturday ideally.
I have to say though I was in a huge Tesco yesterday and there were still lots so it's shop/area dependent.

Really?

There's loads in my Sainsbury's Local, there were loads in Co-Op earlier today as well.

Try Tesco express ours had loads

Bugger. I haven’t bought mine yet. I’ll have to get myself chocolates, then.

It was the same with Mother’s Day items too. I think less has been ordered this year.

I'm not surprised considering it's Maundy Thursday. Shops don't really want to still have much Easter stock left by this point so plan with an aim to sell most by now.

It has been all over news since the start of the week that is has been a bumper year for egg sales too which probably prompted people to grab any last ones earlier on in the week too.
