You have plenty of time to shop and prepare for Easter. Good Friday is April 18th. Easter Sunday is the 20th. (In 2025, since Easter is a movable feast.)
Cadbury's is one of England's favourite brands. Milk chocolate and plain chocolate, and dark chocolate. Chocolate bars, and Easter Eggs, covered in chocolate, and filled with white and yellow cream.
A chocolate egg the size of a real egg, a hen's egg, has an alarming number of calories. When I read this after eating one, I was so upset, I felt so low, that I needed to cheer up by eating another egg. The moral is, read the label before buying, not after eating.
Chocolate prices and novelty egg prices normally come down immediately after Easter. In Tesco, you get reductions on some items if you have a club card. It is worthwhile signing up for the clubcard in advance.
As with many loyalty cards, if you decide to join at the last minute, you have the stress of not being sure that when you try to fill in the form later, you have credited your first spend after deciding to join.
But before we reach Easter, we have Valentine's Day on February 14th, and Chinese New Year.
I have fond memories of visiting the Cadbury Factory site in England. You need to check the opening hours, the days of opening, and whether you can book a ticket.
If you cannot take a tour, but you are a chocolate lover, you will probably be satisfied with a stop at the big factory shop.
