To not expect to see Hot Cross buns for sale 9 days into the new year in a supermarket!!!

[onadietcokebreak]

thats about it really....

When is Easter anyway!

that's slow- I popped into Sainsbury's new years eve and they were on sale then!

We've got a whole aisle of easter eggs..

maddening.

Yes and various mini easter eggs. Really makes me grind my teeth.

You can get them all year round in our tescos

its along the lines of the creme eggs that seem to get earlier every year - DH gave me one in my stocking for christmas one year

I love hot cross buns and am glad they are available all year!
They make a fab bread and butter pudding if you spread them with marmalade and put them in the oven in a dish with some custard.

They sell them in M&S all year around.

Really?..yum!

oh i love hot cross buns! they should always be available

hot cross buns have been available year-round for years.

yummm toasted with butter and strawberry jam

Easter is 12th April this year.

Our Tescos had a whole display of creme eggs and other small Easter eggs on 3rd January.

I saw a small display of easter eggs/chicks/bunnies in our Waitrose on 28 December. Ridiculous.

They really shouldn't sell hot cross buns so early. It's terrible for my thighs totally inappropriate

easter is quite early this year
i don't mind them selling nice easter things in january
it's nowhere near as in yer face as christmas or halloween, there is nothing like the commercial pressure
and frankly we all need something to look forward to in these dark days of winter

Hot cross buns always available in M&S. Would be gutted if they took them away after easter.

There are Easter eggs in Morrisons in Gibraltar.

YANBU - the valentines line should be in the shops first

I want a hot cross bun now

Jan 2nd - Costco had Easter eggs out on display

Sorry, YABTotallyU.

Would be totally reasonable to not WANT to see hot cross buns, easter eggs, etc on sale now. But honestly, this isn't the first time it's happened, so YABU to not EXPECT it.

The little choc eggs are slowly but surely making their way into the shops too. That bugs me a bit, but not the hot cross buns because I like them!

I know, it is madness!! Dd spotted Creme Eggs in teh co-op the other day and promptly wanted some. When I told her to wait until nearer Easter she said 'but we could buy them now and just look after them until Easter...

Made the lady in the queue behind us giggle...
