About two days after the New Year this year our local supermarket, Woolworths had Easter Eggs and so on for sale, just a small display - a bit early I think.
Whilst there I took some photos as you drive out of the supermarket, the street is Hobart Road and about 5 minutes if the traffic lights are with you. The last photo is the service station up the hill just before you turn the corner to go to our home.
The Maccas has just been redone, apparently the roof wasn't built correctly in the first place, the inside has been changed also. I don't like Maccas as in the food and we rarely have it. Maccas stands for MacDonalds.
Soon merchandizing for every season and festival will be a daily feature through the year!
ReplyDeleteSeems so David.
DeleteEaster chocolate is on sale really early.
ReplyDeleteYes, too early I think then so are hot cross buns.
DeleteThey should place some seats in front of the hotel door so grandpa can have a bit of a breather.
ReplyDeleteWould be a good idea Hels, but, that area there is for those who can't walk far for their car, taxi to let them out very close to the door. There is an outdoor area to the left but it's got a fence around it.
DeleteYeah easteren chocolatte nam namGood photoes of everyday life..Like the old man
ReplyDeleteLooking for place to sit down💖
Thank you Anita. The man was very slow walking but he made it and probably happy with himself for doing so.
DeleteHere is same, Easter chocolate is in every store.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, seems it get earlier each year everywhere.
DeleteI haven't seen any Easter supplies in the store I shop but it's a Mexican market so I doubt I will. Maybe they will have some other candy.
ReplyDeleteI guess markets don't necessarily sell Easter Eggs, they don't here either.
DeleteWe saw Easter chocolate right after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, we don't even get over Christmas and the Easter Eggs are out, just incase they can sell some.
DeleteYeah I feel the sell Easter stuff too early, I also don't eat a lot of Macca's in fact I don't eat a lot of take away food at all
ReplyDeleteWay to early Jo-Anne, not even over Christmas and the Eggs are there.
DeleteWe don't eat much take a way food either, I cook, like you.
You certainly have a sweet tooth for these snacks
ReplyDeleteChocolate is something I don't eat often, never did. If I get a fad for it then I will but go years without eating it...strange one am I.
DeleteWith some nice tram history at the nearby cemetery. I suppose with hot cross buns everywhere already, we can't complain too much about chocolate eggs. It's a pity Woolworths at least, can't put more effort into procuring normal eggs. Their shelves have been empty for a couple of weeks. Oddly, Coles has eggs.
ReplyDeleteNoticed Choclates first, then the buns followed.
DeleteNormal eggs, well that a thing, they don't always have any at all down here, we get our normal eggs from a veggie place called Youngs Veggie Shed, they always have eggs.
I also read why there is a shortage - because the chook owners are moving their chickens to free range and that takes time for the transition and it makes sense, also the time of year for cooking example at Christmas, there was a lot of reasons written and I can't remember then all, Andrew.
Uy tan pronto huevos de pascuas. Lindas fotos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, a bit too soon.
DeleteFamilier with Cadburry with those cute purple packaging...i like their cashew inside there...
ReplyDeleteYes, they are nice.
DeleteI don't know if we have Easter Eggs yet, I haven't looked for them, so maybe I've just not noticed, but we did have Hot Cross Buns right after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe buns were early then. I just happened to see the Easter Eggs as I walked past.
DeleteIt is indeed early to have Easter stuff in the shops already.
ReplyDeleteWe don't like McDonalds either, it's not healthy food.
Greetings Irma
Well I too think it's way too early to have Easter Eggs for sale, but the shop owners are wanted to make more money I suppose.
DeleteWhen we eat chocolate, it's like getting a little burst of happiness :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice new week! ... the 1st one of February :-)
They say eating chocolate is like that, gives you happiness or a good feeling :).
DeleteThank you and you too.
I enjoyed seeing the photos around your area, thanks Margaret! Guess what I had this afternoon? A bar Cadbury's chocolate, one with caramel inside. I don't know whether they have Easter goods in our shops yet, but they always seem to have them really early. Happy February!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed Denise. Oh I don't mind Caramelo Chocolate once in a while, it tastes lovely.
DeleteThank you and same to you.
Wow, that is really way too early for Easter Stuff. The candy is going to be anything but fresh by the time it's Easter. Nice pictures, loved the mailbox one.
ReplyDeleteSandy's Space
Thanks. Yes far too early for Easter Chocolate for me too.
DeleteSÃ, cada vez los ponen más pronto. Bonitas fotos. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. They are getting early, too early.
DeleteEaster eggs right after New Year do seem a bit early! It’s always interesting to see how quickly stores switch from one holiday to the next. I enjoyed your little tour from the supermarket to home.
ReplyDeleteThank you Veronica. Too early for Easter Eggs for me.
DeleteI guess I wasn't the only one who thought Easter egg sales came early.
ReplyDeleteNo you weren't. Maybe the shops think we will buy more that way.
DeleteI also really think it's too early to start selling Easter chocolates, but traders often need to boost sales.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views of areas near you.
Thank you Maria. Yes, that's what I believe about the Easter Eggs too.
DeleteCertainly early with the eggs in Tassie.
ReplyDeleteGet in before the "dictator of the World" aka someone called "DUMP"??
gets them!
Ah - as good old Ned Kelly said before they pulled the trap - "SUCH IS LIFE".
Another fine sunny day in here in Terrigal but now we have a water problem!!!
Polluted.
Cheers
Colin
Oh gosh, polluted water, not good!! Thank goodness we don't live way up north at the moment with the rain and floods! Not good for those that live there. Such is life, as Ned said.
DeleteHere in the UK we had Valentines Cards/gifts and Easter Eggs/chocolate all appearing in the stores just after Christmas ... it seems so early I wonder how many people do purchase them this early in the year?
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Well I guess some people would buy the Easter Eggs and so on, eat them and have to buy again. Valentines Day, yes saw cards a few days ago being sold, but that's fair enough as it's getting close, but not right after Christmas.
DeleteQuerida amiga, precioso post, me encantaron las fotos de tu zona.
ReplyDeleteSi acá empiezan hacer los huevos de pascuas no duran nada, hay dÃas de 38 y 40 grados.
Abrazos y te dejo un besito
Thank you Liz. So hot weather for you too.
ReplyDeleteBuena serie de imagenes, con bellos colores.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteCrazy how early they put things out nowadays. Thanks for the tour of your town, very interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteEverything looks a little different as here except McDonald.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
Greetings
Different buildings for the climate is one reason.
