When I did my monthly shop at Tesco this morning I had to buy two Easter eggs. One was for my grandson and the other was for my daughter. My grand-daughters both decided to opt for a chocolate bar instead.
This year, I had made a point of asking them all what they wanted for Easter because in years past, I was working and had more money to spend so they usually had a decent, if more expensive egg or such like from Marks & Spencer. No matter how hard I tried to pursuade Harley, my grandson, that he would get a lot more chocolate if he had a bar instead of an egg, I could not convince him or change his mind and it was the same with his mum, Sarah.
I thought that buying my Easter eggs in Tesco would be cheaper so looked carefully up one side of the aisle with the chocolate eggs and then down the other side and I was truly shocked. The prices were shockingly expensive and it seemed that there was more packaging than chocolate on some of them. Even those that claimed to have less packaging were every bit as pricey with about the same amount of chocolate as the others.
In the end, I bought an egg each for Harley and Sarah and a bar of chocolate for Eden and Amber. The girls of course are very shrewd because they get four times as much chocolate for the same price as I paid for the eggs! Two chocoholics in the making?
