Am I wrong but does there not appear to be as much choice in Easter eggs this year? Perhaps I keep missing them. There seems to be loads of gimmicky ones with toys, gifts etc. in them or expensive Thornton ones etc. I so miss Woolworths where you were usually spoilt for choice and they were reasonably priced. More people seem to be going for various mini eggs in bags or blocks of chocolate. Perhaps it's the credit crunch I don't know.

Maybe the shops have cut back on stock as they know they get a lot left over each year. I am sure a lot of people will be missing Woolworths and the supermarkets will be pleased they have gone.

I have to agree, I got two today and I am limited to what I can get. I cannot buy Cadb..ys, so the choice is really narrowed down. There appeared not to be the usual lovely expensive ones either. Oh well, someone is going to get a very small easter egg plus a bunch of flowers this year!

Plenty of eggs here in Portugal, BUT the prices are outrageous average price 7.95 euro for a basic egg.

Umm I started buying my children books at Easter - it all started when my children had too many choc eggs - and I ended up eating them (sigh)
Now I buy books for my grandchildren - grand daughter gets awfully 'hyper' on sugar!
Having said that - Sainsbury's have plenty of 'branded' eggs at bargain prices!!

I can eat ANY chocolate - Thank Goodness! It is my sister - it gives her dreadful migraines and it only has to be half a bar. Any other cholocate is fine.
