I was doing some late night shopping in the nearest 24 hour Supermarket to Me around Midnight today,December 28th,and along from the Holiday gift drums of chocolates,I realised they've already started loading the shelves with Easter chocolate products?! Too Soon,or what? What do You think? Have they started this where You Live?!

well, it'll all be stale by Easter then - if they don't buy it to eat now... like we need another excuse to eat candy!

I think I posted a similar discussion back around the beginning of December last Year,when I'd spotted Christmas themed cakes on the "reduced price" shelf having "best before" dates weeks before Christmas on them!

Too soon, I would say around March, of course I already saw Valentines cards and candies out so who to say when retailers can put that stuff on the shelves. I would rather them wait but they have to make money to keep the doors open so its their choice. Halloween is 80% off, Christmas is 70% off and Valentines is full price!

I like it..rolling sale prices whatever the time of year..."Buy Now While Stocks last"!

Yes it IS way too soon- had the same thing the other day as myself and my friend were shopping for xmas pressies on xmas eve and spotted a shop selling cadburys mini eggs and we both wondered whether they were old stock but, no checking the date they were indeed new stock ready for the easter coming - we couldn't believe it as we aren't even out of the christmas season yet!
