To buy myself an Easter egg for £20

[Alwaysallways]

I can’t have dairy and most dairy free chocolate isn’t nice. I ummed and aahed for ages thinking what a stupid amount of money on chocolate (even though we spend that and more on a takeaway without question). Today I bought it but I’m now home and questioning if I’m genuinely out of my mind?

AIBU?

Also why all the hand wringing! We all deserve a treat especially at Easter. Enjoy OP.

I'd also be interested in knowing the make as I am trying to cut down on dairy.

Why not? It's your money and you can afford it.

Mind you, at that price, don't eat it all at once!

I've spent £20 on an egg for DP (I don't like chocolate, so I get vicarious pleasure from this) so it had better be good! I don't regret it though. Enjoy your treat.

If you have the money, then do it!

I spent £59 on a Lindt Easter hamper and have zero regrets.

I bought myself a Hotel Chocolat Ostrich Egg, still over £70 even with 15% off. No regrets.

Hotel Chocolat. Nutmilk. Really, really good. If you don’t want to spend that without checking if he likes it they also do a small pot of chocolate buttons with a rabbit on it for about £2, they’re made from the same stuff

Nutmilk, Hotel Chocolat

Thanks I'm going to get one now!

Easter eggs are hugely overpriced.... If I was spending £20 on chocolate for myself I would just buy chocolate... rather than a chocolate egg! More chocolate for the money. However I do expect an egg from my DH -and I have got him one.

So - if you want chocolate and can afford it go ahead! (But don't buy an expensive Easter egg get more chocolate)

I’m sat in Itsu right now eating £9 worth of sashimi because I just really fancied it. Enjoy it OP.

I cant find anything nutmilk on the website 😩 what am I doing wrong? Exact links would be hugely helpful and I would appreciate it thank you!

as you say, you'd spend more on a takeaway, and much more eating out, so why begrudge yourself this? Assuming you won't eat it all in one go it'll be the equivalent of dessert for a few days.
https://www.countryandtownhouse.com/food-and-drink/bettys-easter-egg/ Betty's are selling one for £375

Nomo are pretty good for those asking, about £6 an egg I think.

Hold on, I’ll find it. If you search for vegan Easter egg it’ll come up

@Howaboutthats I got a bigger one that should’ve bee £29.45 but was just over £20 with discount, though I bought it in store today. Doesn’t seem to be online, maybe they sold out? They have the smaller one though! It’s all insanely good

This, if you can afford it why not?!
Just get the Easter egg and enjoy!

Lindt dairy free Choc from sainsburys is absolutely gorgeous.. l get that for my daughter..
Can l ask what Easter egg it is you got?
Op I'd enjoy it and savour every mouthful.
It's a treat.

Buttermilk vegan chocolate is lovely too.

I just paid £29 for a new pair of leggings to wear to the gym. Bearing in mind I do not care at all what I look like at the gym and I could have got several pairs in primary for that price. I just wanted them. So £20 for an Easter egg considering you can't have much chocolate seems reasonable to me.

i love holiday traditions and always buy multiple types of candy (more than 20$ and I can tell prices have increased ) and make a big basket for all to share. Plenty of folk spend this and more on wine/special menu items for the holiday. Enjoy your egg OP. Life is meant to be enjoyed

Thank you 😊

Have you tried hip chocolate op? It's honestly so good.

Why not buy it? It's a once a year treat and nice dairy free chocolate is hard to find. Hope you enjoy every bite!

I'm always on the lookout for lovely tasting, vegan chocolate so thanks for the link.

NMO Easter Eggs are £10 at Waitrose 🤔
