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 got the last Easter basket on the shelf at Aldi Wednesday was very lucky

I suspect that, after last year when stores had loads left over because people thought you could catch Covid from them and therefore didn’t buy them- that they didn’t order as many this year and have simply sold out 🤷‍♀️

Judging by my trip to Tesco it's because some families buy a trolley full

Because people now buy tons of them and fill them with sickly cheesecake before flogging them illegally (not registered food businesses) for weeks before Xmas?

Diabetes epidemic incoming.

Buy chocolate oranges and tell them they were laid by the Ooh-Aah bird.

Oh dear. Haven’t bought ours yet 🤣

Sorry no sympathy for anyone as you have had ages....

Our tesco and Lidl had loads, as did wilkos. Not much help to OP but I missed out on them last year and has to give the kids bags of snack size Mars bars. I'm better prepared this year!

What’s this? Why catching COVID from an Easter Egg more than anything else?!

M&S I visited today had loads

Gah! Me too.

What a lovely snooty comment

Because people have bought them all😀

I finally found two, got them home and realised they are white choc bunnies NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIOOOOOOO

This time last year there was a lot of shaming if your trolley included an Easter egg. By shaming I mean on here and places like the Daily Mail where there was a lot of debates about non-essential purchases.

It’s always like this it’s nothing new . I went earlier in the week and could see running low then .

Why do people keep saying these ridiculous things? Clearly it isn’t always like this or we wouldn’t all have got caught out.

Ju at back from Morrison's and the Easter Eggs had been replaced by barbecue stuff

Can anyone who works in a supermarket confirm if anyone buys the Easter eggs that are displayed after Christmas? I saw people with Easter eggs all through March but I can't imagine buying them before Pancake Day

Because people have planned in advance and already bought them 😛

To be fair I usually buy as last minute as possible. If I buy them before, I will almost certainly end up having to repurchase on account of me eating them all.

There were people kicking off today because the supermarket had sold out. It's insane that people expect them to have Easter eggs on Good Friday! It's like going to Tesco on Christmas Eve wanting a turkey

I've seen a lot of bakers offer cheesecake eggs so they're buying 50 eggs at a time to fulfil orders.

In all honesty, eggs have been on sale for a few months so you've had lots of them to prepare...

There were lots everywhere today (Tunbridge Wells).

Tesco express today - Loads....

Cheesecake eggs??? Sounds disgusting (and I like both chocolate and cheesecake)

Cheesecake eggs 🤮
