Mine only has the stupid oreo eggs. They aren't even real Cadburys.
The fact that hundreds of them still adorn the shelves suggest they're not the most popular.

Looking at last years threads aldi had "mediums" at 99cent so might happen again.

They normally range from €10+.
€8.50 is generally about the cheapest you'd get those eggs unless you met some trying to sell them off.

Debenhams, so funny

Odyssey 2005

Got lovely large Cadbury eggs in debenhams last week for €8.50.

Last year I think the best prices on the large eggs were still about twice the price of the small ones best prices.

e.g. the XL creme egg one comes with 5 eggs and a ~300g egg. For a fiver you could get 5 small ones with 5 creme eggs and 500g of chocolate egg.

Of course it would be odd to be handing over a load of eggs but I would prefer them, the moment that 300g egg is opened its a gonner!

They are roughly €10-€11 in Tesco regular price with loads of stock and I’m expecting an offer for them soon

I live across the border and they are £7(€8)in my local spar from day one and that’s not a special or anything
The smaller eggs(medium) were 75p in Tesco in newry a few weeks ago people were taking them out on pallets 😂😂

That is cheap though. I can see in the UK tesco £10, Asda £8, morrisons £8, waitrose £8

the cheapest I see the mediums is £1.

Debenhams are ridiculous at setting alleged high RRPs then cutting it down to “50% off” to appear like a bargain. They did the same all over their stores particularly with small electrical and household stuff. No one in their right mind would pay €17 for those hence set to 50% and appear like a bargain. Retail psychology 101!

I think everybody knows this about Debenhams at this stage!

Tesco do this too in Ireland. Not sure about the UK but here you have to have something at a price for a certain length of time before you can legally declare/advertise it is reduced. Might be 28days.

Some people just grab any alleged offer. I remember seeing auld ones snapping up stupidly priced eggs in tesco a while back.

Those eggs were 15.99 in tesco and now reduced to 12euro, stupid price when a fiver got you the same amount of creme eggs and 200g more chocolate last week. The time limit might be part of the reason you see them stocked so early, and often just a few on the shelf.

Rip off!

People tend to buy eggs that have the wow factor to impress kids and look better than the other relatives rather that worry about the price per kilo of chocolate they are getting, as the years go on the eggs are more of a rip off and the ratio of cardboard to chocolate is mad, from the 21st of April the recycling bins will be packed

They’ve actually gotten relatively cheaper- Easter eggs were damn expensive in the 90s. There was no 3 for €5 or anything like that.

Tesco opened near us in 2004. a medium Easter eggs were 3 for €10 and people were delighted with the offer.
You got a decent size egg and one or two bars.

The prices may be lower but there is feck all in them, it’s all packaging and the quality of the chocolate isn’t as good

There wasn’t a whole lot then either- the packaging has actually improved- used be a big heavy plastic insert back in the day. Now it’s all just cardboard paper in most of them

OmegaGene wrote: »

The chocolate eggs were much thicker year ago (1980’s) and the goodies inside made it more appealing for children, now they are too thin the quality of chocolate is poor and if there are treats they are along side the egg as it’s cheaper to produce, the market if flooded with crap eggs for way too long these days

Even up until the mid 2000's you used at least get a decent size bar or even bars.

Yea but you paid a lot more. They were never 3 for €5 or £4. More like that each in fact
