Default Cream egg prices …

I picked up 25 for £7.50 on Saturday.. then gave away 3 to a lovely homeless guy sat outside Tesco .. I usually give him some food or a drink but I’d just nipped in before all the cream eggs had gone ..

The ten packs for £3 had all gone just a few of the 5 for £1.50 left

Crazy thing is Cadbury’s UK tasted far nicer about 10 years ago !!!

That's very possible. American candy is uniquely awful/low quality. So the bar is quite low

When I checked Amazon pricing for Cadbury I noticed they had the "Original" imported version, so I'm assuming that our version is different somehow.

I got a pack of minis and I intend to hide those in eggs for my daughter. She's not heavy into sweets anyway so expect it will mostly be consumed by hub & I, but this might interest her a bit more because of the shape.
I can’t stop eating the mini eggs. They are so expensive here but omg it’s so worth it. Food lion wanted to charge $6.99 for a small bag of them

Painful times

Morrisons UK
now sell a Box of 5
for £2:25


Making them 45p each


[So I know Tesco have an offer of 5 for £2.50
but … our local shop sells them at 85p each or 2 for £1.20 ( 60p each)]

Good Morrisons beating Fat Tesco

I had a double quarter pounder from rubbish McDonalds the other day, for the protein, i promise. Anyway, got myself and my daughter a Creme Egg McFlurry for afters. It wasn't too bad tbh.

You were right by the way, Zizu. Terribly right. I tried one of my eggs and I'm like this chocolate tastes very familiar.

I checked the label. They're literally Hersheys! The most common chocolate ever.



If you'd like to compare the lack of nutrition to the UK variant...

I know. They're still a neat holiday treat. Maybe next time I'll pay the import fee so I can compare and get reviews from people we know

Hersheys use milk that has gone off and that is why they taste like vomit

(I'm not actually joking either)
