Feels like people are voting with their wallets and just not buying many Easter eggs this year. I was in Morrisons yesterday evening and they had literally hundreds left all stacked up by the tills. Not really worth it to spend a fiver on a Cadburys egg which gets smaller every year and with the side chocolate getting ever reduced as well. I think people either just go without now or they treat themselves to a more luxury egg which might be pricey but at least it's something a bit different and feels like you're marking Easter with something a bit special

I buy what I can afford. If Easter-eggs can withstand the almighty scrutiny of whatever budget I’m on at that particular time, I’ll buy. Who doesn’t love chocolate?

[Zizu]

I’ve saved a fortune over the years as the taste of Cadbury’s chocolate has worsened

Even Creme Eggs aren’t anywhere near as nice ( or as big ) as they once were

So I don’t buy their chocolate bars or their Easter Eggs or their Creme eggs .

I do indulge myself in Lindt chocolate though

[Cherie]

I do even though they aren't value for money, there is just something about an Egg shaped chocolate Aldi were nearly sold out, by Easter Monday Morrisons will be as well once they reduce the price

[Glenn.]

Yes I buy eggs.

[Maru]

American "chocolate" and candy is still rapidly getting worse somehow, so no.

[Livia]

We bought the kids eggs and my parents did an egg hunt for them today, but they were just small ones. I noticed there were a lot left in the supermarket this year. People don't like being ripped off and that's how it's felt.

[Vicky.]

Yes, Easter egg chocolate is better than normal chocolate

If you have the Morrisons app they are £2.95 and not £5

I bought eggs for the kids and their partners. They had a really good deal in Dunnes Stores of 4 crunchy Easter Eggs for €10

They're called "gift eggs" now.

Still Easter Eggs every where I've seen them

[Glenn.]

Every Easter eggs I’ve seen today has Easter written on the box. Maybe Alf didn’t get any this year, or he hasn’t been out of the house since Boxing Day.

[Alf]

Have you heard the story of the Waitrose worker of 17 years and the Easter eggs (gift eggs)?

Have you heard it @arista?

I didn't get any. But that's fine. Easter and Christmas Is about giving.

I gave all 11 of my work colleagues Easter eggs. That makes me happier that eating a bit of chocolate.

Where on the packaging did it say gift egg?

It didn't. It didn't say Easter either. But the supermarkets had their "gift egg" sign right beside them.

[Glenn.]

A Waitrose employee of 17 years has described his devastation after being sacked for stopping a shoplifter who had ransacked a display of Lindt Gold Bunny Easter eggs.

The Lindt Gold Bunny Easter eggs, which retail for £13 each

We’ll file this under Things That Never Happened Then

You didn't have to point it out to me, I understand that there's still some normal people left, that forget the new narrative.

Doesn't hide the fact that some supermarkets have withdrawn the word "Easter" so they don't alarm and distress the new British people.

Again. That’s not happened.
