Nostalgic now about some of the things out of easter egg packs. My son is 21 and recently asked me where his 'Postman Pat' egg cup had got to My husband still uses a 'Little Britain' mug at work.

I ordred mine last week from foodireland.com

Think I'll be buying a job lot of cadbury's creme eggs from HEB...might have to seriously reconsider this USA lark!

Ah, you are forgetting it is a foreign country with different customs and traditions... Rookie mistake :-)

This is where my eggs come from. I used to go to the Manchester shop to get half price ostrich Easter eggs the day after Easter

Easter 101

You buy a straw basket with a handle. You put green plastic grass in the bottom. You buy Easter candy - peanut butter eggs, chocolate stuff, malted eggs, plus one big chocolate rabbit in a box. You also buy several little plastic Easter toys, like chickens laying little choc eggs, funny little rabbit stuff, squeaky things, etc. Or an Easter cup or something. You place all stuff in basket on green plastic grass. They sell colored see-through paper (pink, purple, yellow, etc). You wrap the whole basket with that paper. You leave the basket out the night before Easter Sunday - and the Easter bunny brought it. Obviously that is for little kids - sort of like Santa. As kids get older of course you just play it by ear, and buy chocolate and stuff.

If you can't be bothered, you can buy the baskets already made up in the stores, but of course they aren't as good as home made baskets.

The one big egg thing is a UK tradition.

I miss going to the supermarket the day after easter and buying loads of them at half price when they were close to being reasonably priced!

(Perhaps that's why I just spent $240 on meds for HBP, cholesterol and diabetes!! :EEK

My husband picked up a couple from Walmart the other day. In previous years I've had to ask people to send them over or pay an arm and a leg for them in specialist shops.

99p for the cadburys button eggs, always a bargain! Asda used to have them to entice you into the store and inevitably I would always buy more stuff

Fairway Market in NYC had a decent selection of UK imported eggs. Cadbury's mini eggs were $2 for a bag which actually wasn't bad.

I like to hold out until after Easter and then plunder their selection when they are below $5 for a Buttons egg!
