How much do you spend on Easter Eggs?

Tesco is doing Lindt ones for £15 - is that more than you would spend? Image

I would never spend £15, I think the most I have ever paid was £10 and that was because it was a Star Wars one and was also given as a Birthday gift

I buy a few small fun eggs for family and friends but prefer a bar of Cadbury milk chocolate myself

I rarely buy Easter Eggs, instead I give boxes or bars of chocolates. You get more chocolate for your money.

After Easter I usually pay less than 50p for an Easter egg. But I might not be so lucky this year.

I will buy my son one, normally a small Smarties one. I will get my husband a cheap chocolate bunny from Lidl or Aldi and that's it. I probably spend a fiver

For the first time ever I am considering buying my best friend an artisanal egg that is £16?! I think I have only ever paid about £5 before this.

tumblespots Good grief!! No, no, no to spending £16 for an empty shell of chocolate. Don't fall for the advertising of the "artisanal egg". Suppose your friend wouldn't want it and give it away? Stick to your original plan of £5 maximum. Believe me your friend will appreciate "the recession has caused me to buy you this".

jam45 It is a beautiful egg and suits her perfectly as she is fantastic at crafts - I'm torn! Image

tumblespots That is lovely! 😍

If you've got time though, it would be much cheaper just to get a reusable button mould and melt some chocolate or fondant, even if you stuck it to a cheaper nice tasting egg.

I've decided I'm not getting my nieces and nephews eggs this year but going with Egg themed toys for them instead.

I got these HATCHIMALS CollEGGtibles, Rainbow-cation Playdate Pack reduced to £5 which is similar price to an Easter Egg but hopefully will bring them more enjoyment.

We always end up with to much chocolate and my kids take months to eat it, so this year I'm buying them a toy instead.

I don’t spend anything on Easter eggs as they are a ripoff - better to buy normal chocolate bars - much better value

It is far too much money for Easter eggs, I would never pay £15 for an Easter egg I usually buy the small eggs for my nieces and nephews

I would probably pay £15 for the Lindt egg but apparently you can just nick them from B&M.

I think it's too much on one egg. I normally spend about £10 on a bigger egg than this for my partner. My mum this year I got lots of small eggs and sweets totally comes to about £11. Everbody else I spend £5.

When I was a child and I didn't have any money, other than birthday and Christmas money, I bought a set of mugs and a pack of milk chocolate easter eggs and put the egg in the mug to gift to people.

I don't know if I've ever really bought any easter eggs other than that, I tend to buy gifts or chocolate, if anything. Eggs often aren't much chocolate and if they are they aren't always the nicest of chocolate.

So why not buy a bar, a quarter of the price and double the chocolate, plus something you know someone loves?

I did however buy a £6 Percy Pig egg and even the lady at the till scanning it in M&S said, £6 for that?! 🤣 my partner loves Percy pigs though so I thought I'd surprise him. Well I won't be doing that again, turns out he doesn't like the chocolate version 😆

- Not my photo but this is the egg.

This is more than I would spend as the weight isn't worth the cost. May as well buy same brand chocolate bars that are better value. 😃
