Today is Valentine’s Day which means a lot of stores were selling heart shaped candy and items for people to gift to others. While chocolate is a pretty normal item to buy, I was surprised to see how many stores were stocked up already it seems for Easter related goods. For example, there were a ton of chocolate bunnies in certain stores. It made me wonder, would you care much if for Valentine’s Day you were given a chocolate bunny and on Easter you were given a chocolate heart?
I only wondered about that as a lot of Easter related chocolates seemed cheaper than the Valentine’s Day items. I would imagine the next day businesses will slash the prices of all Valentine’s Day related items where it would then make financial sense to stock up on those for Easter. For a frugal person like me I usually find it entertaining and smart when people do that as I don’t want people to spend too much of their hard earned money on gifts like these.
Although, it would be weird in some cases such as getting a Christmas card today as an example. But for things like chocolate would it matter as much? Example, if I was a kid Easter egg hunting I probably wouldn’t care too much if people hid heart shaped candy instead.
