My first post. Went into Marks and Spencer, Stockport and found various Easter eggs, biscuits and other foods at half price. Shelves were getting empty but a fair variety still there. I assume all Easter products are reduced everywhere so it should be national :-)

I added a comment but seems to have disappeared.
premium eggs are half price. Works out about £2 per 100g so good compared to their 'premium' chocolate but still not cheap. Most were down to £9, but our branch (Livingston) had two of their £40 1kg eggs reduced to £20 (they're individually numbered and part of a limited run, crazy).
Other non-premium eggs cheaper (can't remember). Small easter themed things around 50p - £1.
EDIT: Livingston branch, checked around 1pm. 20+ premium eggs in stock (up near the bakery), a few non-premium eggs, lots of other smaller things.

All of the 'fancy' easter eggs were half price in our M&S food hall, regular eggs had bigger discount. Compared to their 'premium' chocolates the price per gram is alright at about £2 per 100g, but still not great compared to a bar of dairy milk in a supermarket, so keep that in mind.
EDIT:
Our M&S (Livingston) had two of their ridiculous £40 1kg egg reduced to £20 and they're part numbered limit run - who would have guessed! Maybe 20 other 'premium' eggs.
From memory:
Various 'premium' eggs half price, average sale prices of £9-20.
A few non-premium eggs around £5.
Bags of easter biscuits and mini-egg style chocolates from 50p.
just wondered, what was £1 in M&S, half price doesn't really mean £1, I assumed from reading title that all the Easter stuff was a quid!

I second. Some more detail would be great - been waiting for M and s eggs to go down!

Thanks for the post.
For future posts don't forget to include the details of at least one specific bargain, such as a product, it's was and is price. If the was price is inflated then say so, otherwise posters will enjoy trying to ridicule your post. Don't be tempted to say things like "Large" as sizes vary from retailer to retailer, mention its weight (that's the best indicator) or quantity.
Most importantly, keep on posting. :smiley:
