Yet, St Valentine’s Day will arrive in less than two weeks, followed swiftly by Easter, and we will all be bombarded with advertising for boxes of chocolate and easter eggs. Last year, I tracked these exact same egg sizes, and it’s clear that the size of easter eggs is continuing to decline in the face of high manufacturing costs. It’s not just large Easter eggs either. Small Cadbury Easter eggs such as Dairy Milk Freddo Faces have shrunk in the space of a year from 96g to 90g. You can find out more on fairtrade.ieOr maybe consider putting the money normally spent on Easter eggs for the family on money towards a day out together instead.
