mint Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Got an email from Super U today (I have a carte fidélité) offering promos for chandeleur. Yikes, just as bad as UK shops offering Easter eggs in January or whenever!I remember a time when you only got seasonal stuff in the shops and mostly only stuff from your own region.The retail eagerness to encourage spending is getting a bit tedious, imo. Mind you, when I first arrived, I missed all the "unseasonal" stuff that I could buy in the UK. There's no pleasing some folk, is there?[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You might even get stuff from two unseasons.Yesterday, the local Iceland Foods had Easter eggs next to the last of their mince pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Well pomme, it's no wonder then that the winters are mild and indeed today it's like spring here. Mind you, I don't suppose we'll get a proper spring, going by the past few years. Seems to go from winter to summer and summer to winter without nary a pause for spring or autumn[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
