10% off Easter candy is not an after Easter sale. Or at least it shouldn't be.

it should be 50% off at least since Easter is over. Like they do with Halloween candy.

It *should* It absolutely should! The stores here had them anywhere from 4-30 cents off! Which is entirely unfair!

That - is not right. Not right at all.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. The supermarket is very very mean.

I knew you all would understand

[identity profile] kateri-e.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
10% off? What are they thinking, it's supposed to be 75%! That way we don't feel quite so bad for eating all those Peeps and can stock up on duck-shaped candy (the only way I like ducks, other than with a nice orange sauce)

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There were no peeps. No cadbury eggs. No chocolate bunnies. It was SO sad.

[identity profile] kateri-e.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
None at all!?! That *is* sad, what kind of store doesn't overstock the peeps! What kind of parents buy all the peeps to rot their kids teeth?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It was wrong on so many levels

[identity profile] kateri-e.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
If they are going to majorly commercialize major Judaic-Christian holidays they should at least remember to sell us themed candy at drastically reduced prices.

And speaking of oh so wrong and commercialization, have you ever come across any 'Easter/Passover' candy with Menorahs on them? I have, oh so commercialization gone so wrong or as my baby-sister asked one year "What do ducks have to do with Easter?"

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen menorahs and dreidels in chocolate for Passover. Some people are obviously unclear on the concept. :)

The aliens think we worship a fat man in a red suit who sneaks into houses and eats our food and that once a year rodents leave our children brown eggs that come out of the rabbits ass ;-)

[identity profile] kateri-e.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and once a year we try to kill of an entire species of bird so we can become gluttons while sitting on our asses watching men in tight pants fondle each other ;-)

I see nothing wrong with that description....

In fact it is very enjoyable........ as long as they don't forget the gravy.

don't care... still nice to look at! :)

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They should be giving it away free! Not like it's going to last till next year!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
twas so very wrong. I will need to try different stores tomorrow. 4 cents off is NOT a sale

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Really *really* not shakes head. Although at least yours has left over chocolate our local supermarkets had all sold out of eggs by Saturday morning :(

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They had some bags of pastel wrapped hersey kisses and things like that. No eggs, no peeps, no bunnies, no massive chocolate overdose things.

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not good enough *shakes fist*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Evil store, encouraging me to keep to my diet by not offering candy!

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah yes - my diet... I knew there was a reason my children didn't give me chocolate - it was because I TOLD them not to. WHY did I have to bring them up to listen to me. WHY??????

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
although... son's gf doesn't like cadbury's cream eggs - DO NOT ASK I HAVE NO IDEA (she may be an alien?) - so I did get to have that one

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
alien in a good way though

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. Some of my best friendses is aliens

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Absotively!

[identity profile] kateri-e.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you tried an exorcism? Because not liking the creamy goodness that is cadbury's is just creepy?

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a little creepy but not quite THAT creepy *VBG*

It's the day after Easter! Things should be at LEAST 50% off!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)

WHAT? THAT'S AWFUL!

I'm going back today. If I find more cadbury, I'll send you some. The store near me was selling the 4-packs of eggs for $2

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I am supposed to be on a diet (stupid blood sugar) so the lack of cadbury eggs is not a terrible thing) and I did manage to score one lone reese's egg (which I shall have to hide from the kids till after Passover)

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
We had 70% off Easter candy on Saturday in some shops already.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of the stores were closed here on Sunday.

That is NO FAIR. Did you buy some yummy candy then?

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
My parents bought loads, but I didn't take any with me because I need to lose weight.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, the old diet issue. Probably a good thing for me there wasn't a ton of candy either for the same reason

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not so much of a diet, more a "watch what I eat and be a bit more conscious about it"

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
that is actually the best kind of diet!

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2009-04-14 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Healthy eating and sport (I just came back from something called PowerKick which, phew) and I'll be all set.
