A friend of mine was shopping today and heard the staff in the store talking about the stock of Easter eggs coming in later this week. It seems so quick after the holidays!
My local supermarket still has loads of Christmas leftovers. No sign of Easter yet. It does seem a bit soon after Christmas but I'm looking forward to Mini Eggs being available again. I love them.

Not yet, but no doubt we will hear "There is a green hill far away" at supermarkets sometime in January.

Indeed, however early it is I will always be happy to buy Creme Eggs!

My local corner shop always puts some Easter Eggs on display on Boxing Day. The funny thing is, the shop always runs out of Easter Eggs about a week before Easter and don't get any more in!
Haven't seen any yet, but the poster who mentioned about there local shop getting them in on Boxing Day, and once they have gone that is it.
This must be about 20 years back, where I live was more of a village back then, the corner shop wouldn't get the ordinary eggs in what would sell. But the type of Egg which contained like a whole box of After Eights, or a whole box of Ferrero Rochet, which never sold,
