£30 Easter budget

[Okayfolks]

My friend just told me her and her husband spend £30 each on each other on Easter eggs.

She’d prefer a nicer one and some small bits and he’d prefer lots of mid sized ones so he had about 8 eggs.

AIBU to think this is insane?

They have no kids.

I don’t think it’s weird to buy each other an egg, but maybe slightly odd to set a budget. As if one person spending a few extra pounds could be a major issue. Plus, hotel chocolate eggs are £35!

This comment says far more about you than it does anyone else.

We used to spend £50 each 😂

So your kids and DH all buy you Easter eggs?

Aren’t you inundated with them?

What the fuck does it matter? Seriously?

Having fun doesnt mean you don't live in the real world and I bet she's had far more fun then whatever dull shit you do on a day to day basis.

She deserves a better friend then you

What’s insane? £30 isn’t mad money to me. A cheap sandwich and coffees are easily this so what’s the big deal ?

They are just having a bit of childlike fun, there's nothing wrong with that. When they go back to work everything will be normal.

And so what if they’re inundated with them? Why (TF) does that matter?

I think it’s a lovely idea and it’s wise to set a budget. Lots of people seem to go over the top for Easter nowadays.

My DP and I buy each other an Easter egg every year, but we spend £10 each.
