I've never seen the benefit of buying Easter eggs myself, obviously bought them for my kids when growing up and buy them now for my grandchildren and g/grandchildren only because it's expected of you.
The amount of chocolate used to make an Easter egg you could possibly fit in an egg cup, your just paying for the brand name, the air inside the egg and the wrapping, they obviously make a fortune out of Easter eggs so the faster they can get them out there.
Same with Christmas, I've always maintained we should move Christmas to January the tenth you know when the sales are on and every thing is cheaper!!!
