...was handed over today so that's me done with Xmas for another year Now to get ready for Easter which one of my daughters who works at a well known supermarket informs me will start on 26th December
Nestles Easter eggs were being made since last Aug/Sept
Yes, we used to place our stores Christmas product requirements in May/June, with Easter products in July/August.
The manufacturers started their production runs before those dates
Times have moved on LZ.
Now, you order your Boxing Day sales stuff in the previous winter , assuming its not like food and similar with a BBE
We were talking about Easter Eggs TB, so best before dates with chocolate have remained the same. Nestle alone this year produced 13.5 million eggs from just their Halifax plant alone. They cannot be produced earlier than about June to September because of their “shelf life” limitations, although cold stores are used.
Yes, of course, non-food product is manufactured all year round, especially that from deepest China
With product for Boxing Day and before that now, Black Friday, that is quite another matter and is one of the tricks of the trade, being a game of smoke and mirrors when it comes to pricing. It is also so often today “special purchases” of tat that the public fall for!
