Eggs, Eggs Everywhere!

It’s that time of year again - you can’t move in the shops for chocolate eggs, chicks and bunnies. They all look so tempting, but I’m really starting to question whether I should be parting with my money to buy them. I mean, take your average Easter Egg - it looks amazing in its shiny paper and it’s attractive display box, but when you take all that away, what are you left with for your £6.99? Not an awful lot of chocolate really. So, we’re paying for all the packaging, which, when we’re all ranting on and on about saving the environment, is a pretty daft thing to do! Admittedly, as gifts it’s nice to pay a little for presentation, but if you’re concerned with value for money (as I seem to be more and more these days!) then you’d be best advised to go and buy yourself a huge bar of chocolate and two Mars Bars (or whichever confectionary corresponds to your egg of choice!) Yet, despite my logic and my best intentions, I’ve got a funny feeling I’ll ne struggling home from town on Easter Saturday with a few carrier bags full of bulky, cumbersome, over-priced eggs. So, it looks like the retailers will be laughing all the way to the bank and I’ll be left with egg on my face!
