Easter Eggs On Sale, Already?

(Ananova)

Shoppers at a supermarket were stunned to see Easter eggs on sale - four days after Christmas.

The Sun reports customers burst out laughing as staff put out "Easter Treats" displays of daffodils and chocolates on Monday.

Stephen Roland, 31, said: "I couldn't believe it. Selling Easter eggs three or four days after Christmas is ludicrous - particularly when Easter is in April next year."

Cadbury's Creme Eggs, Easter Chicks and chocolate bunnies were on sale feet away from cut-price Christmas crackers and wrapping paper at the Tesco store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

A Tesco spokesman said that their stores all over Britain will soon be putting up their Easter displays.

But shopper Ellen Turner, 53, said:"They don't let one season finish before they press another on you."
