Saw these in Asda today..

It is AUGUST.

Probably worth stocking up now, by Xmas they will be 3 times the price 😂

Yay, Christmas :)

I’ll have eaten so many of them by then that they’ll be the last things I want!

nooo! At least let us enjoy our (crappy) summer whilst we have it!

How did I know this would be Christmas related 😫

I’ve bought 7 presents and ordered wrapping paper from China

It’s actually made me start looking at stocking fillers for the DC!

Are selection boxes in the shops yet ? I'm an early bird 😁 and no I'm not the type to eat before Christmas .

That is ridiculous! (Clicked on wrong answer by mistake as didn't realise they were Christmas chocolates.)

Plus, there's still Halloween to come first!

Exactly!! Usually it’s Halloween stuff at this point isn’t it? And then mid October the Christmas stuff comes out? Or am I misremembering??

@guiltyfeethavegotnorythym it was just that small selection unfortunately! Or fortunately because IT’S AUGUST

Yeah it was a mumsnet Christmas thread that made me do it lol

If they didn't sell, shops wouldn't put them out so early.
People buy early for xmas, eat them, buy again etc. Shops make a fortune out of lack of willpower.
Plus you can guarantee come Xmas Eve, empty shelves, endless customers asking "Where's all your chocolates" We have it every single year, same with Easter Eggs that will replace Xmas chocolates on 27 Dec.

No not surprised at all. DS 21 works shifts at our local Asda, as he is home from Uni. He told us that they were getting deliveries of Christmas chocolates already (2 weeks ago) 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm not surprised they are already on the shelves.

I saw Halloween stuff in B&M yesterday. August is too early for this - I want to enjoy each season as it comes, not be bored of it by the time it comes around.

My local Home Bargains has 2 aisles of Christmas stock! Tinsel and other decorations.

Poor guy was stacking stuff on Friday

Oh wow!! I was surprised to see Halloween stuff at the supermarket today!

Me too! Even took a pic to prove to DH that I wasn't making it up

Ha ha! It really does get earlier each year.

I hate this shit. I refuse to engage with any of it till Advent. August is utterly preposterous.

Is it just Asda for the big supermarkets right now then? Usually they all start at a similar time

Love them Christmas pud sweets. I'm going to get some tomorrow to eat tomorrow

If that's shocked you then don't go to Home Bargains, your head will explode.

Easter eggs next week

@Annaishere I'm no eco warrior and I so a lot wrong but how can you justify buying wrapping paper from china? That's shocking
