Ive gone into Tesco a couple of years now on an Easter Bank Holiday Monday hoping to get some discounted eggs and there wasnt a single egg anywhere dont mind a discounted one. Would doubt they will have another delivery as its a seasonal item and theyll need the shelf space for whatever summer seasonal items are being delivered next week.
Still strange that they sold out so quick, Id say with the 5 for 5 offers people are really piling into them. For parents who left it to this week there are going to be kids left only with an After Eight egg if theyre luckySo happy i stocked up early
Problem with me is if I stock up on them early I'll also eat them early. 2 or 3 days is about the height of my resistance when there is chocolate lying about

not in my experience... my local Tesco had loads after Easter last year.. even Lindt bunnies.. and they wer practically giving them away..
What? That's exactly what I just posted.. Almost word for word
I've never worked retail management, but from chatting with a centra owner 2-3 years back, he said they make orders in advance, of X amount of eggs, and sometimes they don't always get there in time for easter. So Easter comes and goes and a delivery of easter eggs arrives, so they immediately go on the discount and clearance shelves to get rid of them.
It's been like that in my Centra(s), Tesco and even Dunnes for years and years. In the 2-3 days leading up to Easter there's not an egg to be found (expect perhaps a handful of very expensive ones), and then in the couple of days after easter there are a million eggs on the shelves, but they clear out in record time as they're sold for a pittance.0 -

Any retail manager worth their salt would refuse the post-Easter delivery. Why would they accept reduced margin on a late delivery when they have plenty of other product they can put on the shelves? They'll only discount when they really have to - when they have ordered too much and need to clear it quickly.0 -

Been that way for years. There'll be another delivery of eggs to shops, probably on monday, and they'll be practically giving them away to get rid.
well - any post discounted Easter Eggs around KKV?

Ooh, I'm not sure. I was in one of my local Centra's earlier, and seen their egg display (which still had a lot of the '3 for €5' sized eggs on it) but it was a flying visit, so I didn't check how many were there, or what the price was. I'll be back again tomorrow morning and have a mooch, though

Throwback to June last year when I saw a 75% off sale from Thorntons UK. :pac:

That was some Haul and luckily I didn't get diabetes due to sharing about half of them and giving away the others!
Unfortunately with Brexit its probably not viable to do it anymore.0 -
