Tesco is selling Easter Eggs in January – almost 12 weeks before Easter.
The supermarket chain has already filled its shelves with a number of the chocolate treats.
Boxes of their own brand “Chocolate Egg Hunt” are on sale for £5.
The box contains 18 eggs that are wrapped in colourful foil.

These cost between £5 and £12.
They also have a higher-end selection – including Lindor and Thorntons’ chocolate eggs.

They are also selling an Easter egg hunt tin full of mini eggs for £6 and a range of chocolate chicks and Easter-themed snacks.
