I know what you mean.  I am a collector, so I collect choccie as much as I eat it!  Cute bunnies etc just make my collection purdy!

This makes me laugh because at Thanksgiving here in the states (November), they were putting out Valentine's candy (february).  With two holidays in between.  LOL.  It is ridiculous.  I agree with you!

It drives me nuts too its like  2 months yet before easter why would we want to buy them now as soon as hey get over the january sales away they are with the easter eggs its a joke lol

Luv Emz xx

Hmmm,

It drives me insane when I see the eggs and buns coming out so early! ! ! I know it certainly doesn't effect my shopping, I refuse to buy them early . . The most annoying this though is that when you have younger children shopping with you they don't understand and they think Easter Bunny is coming and they get so excited and then get let down when he takes so long.

Its cruel to do this to our children and yet the big companies think its a good thing!!!  . . .  Our local mini market is doing the right thing and isn't putting out any Easter stock until a week before hand, they even have a note behind the checkout say that if we want anything earlier to speak to management . .So far management has only been getting "well done' comments . .

it would be interesting to find out who actually buys eggs so early! i have known of no one!

however the point is people are buying them, but who?

it would be intresting to hear from people who do and the reasons behind them

thats true it annoys me as well xxxshar

Same over in Canada,stretch the season get things out in front of you so you buy,buy,buy,not,not,not!!!!

I agree but obviously the demand is there. I went to buy my son some underwear this week as he was running low. I went to K-Mart and was searching for the cheapest pair. I found a rack with specials marked down from Christmas. They were not only cheaper then any other brand but there was a teddy bear attached to each one that played a christmas jingle. Got two free teddies for presents this year and cheap underwear, you don't see them so who cares. Maybe we should wait til after easter to buy our chocolates too. Bouycott LOL

its sad isnt it, they r going way overboard now.

companies are just cashing in on the idea... the idea that if you buy chocolates now, you wouldn't want to save it for that long...so you'll eat it and get more when easter is finally here.

We had easer eggs on sale here in January. I am pretty sure that as soon as the christmas decorations were packed away, the easter eggs took their place! Thank god my little one doesn't know what it is yet! I think the shops are just greedy, although, i dont know anyone who has actually bought any yet.

its the same at the schools at the Moment,,, We have only being back at school here 2 days and we already have forms to order easter eggs for fundraising.. its not that we want to do it, its that easter is so much earlier this year..

I have already Got my Hot Cross buns, as i got them for 50 cents a packet....

xxxx cazza

Hmm I agree, we used to only have hotcross buns on easter sunday now we eat them alsmost as soon as they come out.   As for the eggs well I don't care much for them.  The shops are trying to make an early profit.
