To be completely demoralised by hot cross buns?

Been shopping earlier this week and noticed hot cross buns/mini eggs/crème eggs at the end of an aisle as a display in Morrisons, instantly made be furious, then again today in Tesco shelf's of hot cross buns in the bakery.

Give us a break please, I haven't even been paid since 20th December and still have until the 28th to be paid again. I'm absolutely skint from Christmas. Used £100 of savings to put the heating on with £280 already expected to come out of my pay for electric. And these greedy bastard have already started with the Easter shit. Its not even the end of January and all ready the Easter prep is starting.

It's exhausting. I'm so low right now, so broke with so many house problems adding up. Seeing those hot cross buns has sent me west. It's just relentless right now. And Tesco was freezing. Freezing. The poor workers were freezing why? It's a billion pound company and they've turned their heating off?? Because the greedy greedy bastards don't want any losses even at the detriment of their staff. Honestly feels like end of days in the UK right now.

AIBU? Or is seeing Easter stuff in January an absolute screw you to the average struggling Brit.

If it was illegal to stock them until March 1st tho, you wouldn't have that.

If I rule the world then:

New Year Sale - 1st-31st January.

Valentine stuff - 14th January - 14th

February. Sale stuff allowed out until end of February.

Easter: 26th Feb for 2023. 6 weeks before Easter dep on the rolling date, sale stuff for two weeks after.

Back to School Stuff: 12th August until end of Sept

Halloween: 1st Nov - 31st Nov. Sale stuff for 1 week.

Christmas: 6th November. Christmas Sales from 27th rolling into NY sale.

Other religious or cultural celebrations get max 6 weeks too, so Diwali, Chinese New Year, Eid etc.

Nah back to school needs tomorrow be out early as its so flipping expensive

I had hot cross buns today. It's bread. It tastes nice with butter. The end.

Most supermarkets put Easter stuff in the slot vacated by Christmas stuff.
Or do as I do, moan about it, then bitch on Easter Saturday about where all the Easter eggs went.

YANBU - it's January, just under a week of it to go. Easter Sunday is April 9th. It's stupidly early.
I hate the capitalist machine also. It's brainwashing.
I prefer noticing the sunset getting later and buds and shoots growing than things to buy in the shops. Ugh, I'm totally with you on this one.
Happy valentine's 🌹🍫🌹🍫🌹🍫🌹🍫🌹😂
