What? Shops are already selling Easter eggs three months early
If you thought the fact that the Christmas decorations were on sale before the Halloween ones even had a chance to be put up, then you're not going to be happy about this news.
It seems that the Easter bunny is working over time this year, as Easter eggs are already making an appearance in supermarkets country-wide.

You may think, 'maybe Easter fall early this year?" but no, Easter isn't until April 16th, that's 101 days to go and supermarkets are clearly counting.
Discounted selection boxes sit side by side with the springtime seasonal treats.
Surprised Irish shoppers took to Twitter to express their amusement at the early onset of Easter.
Tesco are putting out Easter Eggs, next to the discounted Xmas chocolates.

Xmas has literally just been put in its grave and the shops already have Easter eggs on the shelves

However, some chocolate fans are welcoming the early arrivals, as having more time to stock up can offer great savings on eggs that will be more expensive closer to the occasion, and it can help large families spread the cost of their Easter shopping.
Either way, we now have one more supermarket aisle to avoid when we're doing our newly healthy grocery shopping.
