So, yesterday I popped to Tesco, as they were selling off all their Christmas stuff, i.e. biscuits and chocolate and paper etc

Was looking to see if I could nab any bargains, when I had suddenly had to stop and step out the way as an assistant was coming down the aisle, with a trolley of stock

Which just happened to be full of ......... Easter eggs.

On the 30th December!!!

Insane.

You think that’s crazy?

My Tesco has birthday cards in and my Birthday isn’t until May!

(apologies if I stole this joke off here I genuinely can’t remember)

Isn't it a bit ironic to be critical of Tescos already selling Easter eggs whilst shopping for paper etc for next Christmas?

Ah, but that's where you're wrong. I was after stuff for the Christmas after next. I got next year's stuff, last Christmas

That's optimistic. I'm always happy to wake up each day.

If people didn’t buy it now they wouldn’t put it out. These shops also know that loads of people that buy now will not keep them in the cupboard until Easter. It will be eaten long before that and they will buy more.

And people still say they are hard up, buy stuff at the right time and buy it once.
