One shopper even quipped that the Easter chocolate was displayed next to the Christmas selection, writing: ‘Tis the season for Easter chocolate (even though Christmas chocolate is reduced opposite).’

Meanwhile shoppers were discovering that supermarkets get deliveries of Easter supplies weeks before Christmas is over.
One customer wrote: ‘I joked with some shelf stackers about Easter eggs in Morrisons the other day and they laughed and said that the first five boxes were already in the warehouse. True story.’
When another shopper asked: ‘Anybody know if Tesco are stocking Easter Eggs yet?’ another Twitter user replied: ‘I did some HGV driving for them 2 years ago – we were delivering Easter eggs to store mid December so I guess you’ll be fine.’
