Easter Eggs in January: Too Soon or Savvy Shopping?
Alright, fellow deal-hunters and budget-savvy folks, let's dive into something that's got the shopping world talking. Picture this: You've just packed away your Christmas decorations, your wallet's feeling the post-holiday pinch, and what do you see in Sainsbury's? Easter eggs. Yes, you read that right - Easter eggs on the 1st of January!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "It's way too early!" But hear me out. This could be a classic case of retailers pushing holidays on us prematurely, or is it a clever chance to snag some deals before the rush? After all, planning ahead can be a wallet-saver.
Danielle Kate Wroe at Mirror Money reported this surprising find. Shoppers were 'fuming' to see Easter eggs on shelves so soon. It's a bit of a shock, no doubt. But let's look at this from a money-saving angle. These early birds might not be about pushing consumerism but rather about offering choices. If you're someone who likes to prepare early, this could be your moment to start stocking up, potentially at lower prices.
Now, to balance the basket, let's hear from Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk. He remarked, "Seeing Easter eggs in January might surprise shoppers, but it's also a reminder to stay alert for unexpected deals and plan ahead."
So, there you have it. Too soon for Easter eggs, or a smart shopper's head start. You decide. Either way, keep those eyes peeled for deals, and remember, the early bird might just catch the best chocolate worm!
Definitely to soon. On top of it being months away and Christmas has only just left, this nation has a obesity problem.
I popped into Sainsbury's the other day and saw the shelves fully stocked with Easter eggs. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. As a previous poster has said, people have literally just got over the pressures of affording Christmas and New Year's. Let alone, Easter which is still a few months away!
To soon, and they are even in shops before January, before the Christmas period is even over.
It's too soon. You have Valentine's Day then Mother's Day before Easter. So why Easter eggs now? There might be out of date if you was to buy them now for Easter.
Everything is always far too soon. There is always something going on. I agree the Obesity problem is getting out of hand but I honestly don't know what the answer is!
Far too soon! And savvy shopping would be to not waste money on overpriced Easter Eggs when standard chocolate is much cheaper.
They are there you don't have to buy them !!Then there might be be people who have big family an can only afford one per week
Way to soon. Got other celebrations before Easter. Valentines and Mothers Day. And they cost far to much for what they are.
A relative once bought them early & put them on top of kitchen cupboards..come easter and she found they had all melted
