When are easter eggs reduced?

I'd love to get a bargain but miss them every year, when can I find easter eggs cheap?

After easter.
If you wanted a bargain, by weight and quality buying a normal bar of chocolate is usually better value.
Poundland?

After easter is over...but I bet they're 'best before date' is the day after easter! :tongue:
Usually a few days after Easter.

I'll be straight on the Hotel Chocolat website to see if there are any bargains :ahee:

Most places discount their easter eggs most heavily before easter. I work in the online dept at sainsburys, and we had people buying over a month in advance when we had 3-for-1 on cadburys eggs, and since then the offers have just got progressively worse. You might see some places reducing them by a fair whack, but as a rule of thumb the discounts seem to be highest when demand is, in order to steal customers from elsewhere.

Getting me an Ostrich Egg from John Lewis, between a gift card and employee discount it's only going to cost me £20 =D
Definitely agree. A few weeks back, the offers were great. They had that 3-for-1 but also the big eggs at half price [made them £2.75 each]. Yet, so many customers were buying eggs today and paying much higher amounts for them. You can't blame Sainsbury's for that though - if people will pay the higher amount, it makes business sense to charge it.

Will be looking at HotelChocolat though when I get chance. The eggs they sell always look amazing. Eg, http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/Dark-Chocolate-Egg-P300165/ :smile:

I'm going to need to go hunting for them :ninja:
All I got was a chocolate bunny, damnit! (It's lovely, but I wanted some actual eggs!)
They were only a pound each at tesco.
Just ordered one off Hotel Chocolat, due to their half price sale. I got free delivery too, so I saved a little bit extra as well. Yummy. :smile:

Oh, btw, in Sainsbury's yesterday most of the eggs were half price. The store I popped into had lots and lots of eggs left. :smile:
Tesco and Sainsburys were doing 'Buy one, get two free' a while back....maximum of 9 eggs per customer though!
I bought a bucket of them from tesco yesterday. £3.25 reduced from £15!

I was very chuffed.

There's about 12 full sized eggs in that bucket.

Why don't you just raid a skip behind Co-Op or Tescos instead? :confused:

Hotel Chocolat have reduced theirs already, but they're still quite expensive! Iceland (the frozen food shop) has reduced theirs by a lot, 6 creme eggs for £1! :eek:
