Despite my financial woes in April, I found something to be happy about: Easter candy.
I adore Cadbury Mini-eggs, partially because they are only available around Easter. I found them last week for just $0.87 instead of the usual $3.75 or so. Today, I was buying some ibuprofin for my knee, and thought I’d pick up another bag. There was some scuffle at the register as the lady asked her coworker about a special on them, and said something about “an hour”. They must have had some sort of crazy sale on them that I didn’t know about. As they were chatting, I was concered that they were full price after all! They again rang up for .87, but she cancelled it out and re-rang them for just a quarter for each of the two bags!
Wow. So, apparently now is a great time to buy easter candy.
By the way, I promise to freeze both of these and savor them over time. I’m stocked up on chocolate for awhile now! For fifty cents!!!!!!!

I have to admit that I took advantage of the Easter sales too and bought some half price chocolate. Unfortunately I didn’t have any willpower and it didn’t last longer than 24 hours!

These are actually available at Chirstmas too! I can’t remember the exact name (Christmas balls maybe?), but they are red and green instead of the Easter pastels. They started making them at Chirstmas a year ago or so.

That is awesome! What a great deal at $.87 and a complete steal at $.25!! Wow! I’m going to have to keep my eye out for these and fill my freezer too!

they were at Ralphs (local grocery chain which I generally dislike for forcing me to sign up for their card in order to get reasonably priced things)
I have to say, I almost turned around and bought them out of their whole stock…

Yeah Mini eggs! Absolutely my favorite thing about living in England was that they were available all year round there–and Cadbury’s also had a chain of ice cream shops–where they would pour chocolate over your ice cream cone.
