I know fish frys and paczi are the go-tos in this this thread, but for me, Lent/Easter means Cadbury Creme Eggs. But last year - and apparently this year - Giant Eagle doesn't seem to be stocking them. They have a display unit of the Cadbury caramel eggs and a unit of the mini Cadbury eggs in the little carton at the Brentwood Giant Eagle, but no full-sized Cadbury Creme eggs, and no Cadbury Mini Eggs. What's Giant Eagle got against Cadbury products?? (I can get them elsewhere, I know, and I will, but I'm curious as to why they're not at Giant Eagle anymore.)

Probably because giant eagle wanted to charge $4 for one egg.

If your GE has a GetGo, they should have them

No, they definitely have a very robust Easter display out. And a ridiculous amount of Reese's Eggs.

I was pleasantly surprised to get 18 regular eggs for $5.19 today. What have I become?

Is it some weird supply chain thing? Or do other stores have them already and this is definitely a giant eagle being weird thing?

Do you still like the flavor? They haven't tasted the same to me for like a decade.

Giant Eagle has a secret agreement with Resses. Just like they do with Wegmans. My brother in law knows a guy whose next door neighbor's cousin used to deliver Towntalk to 5 GynIggle's and they confirmed it's true on a Facebook post.

I had to give up eating them for a little while because I'm celiac the recipe they used wasn't gluten-free. But they changed it to a gluten-free recipe probably about the time you started noticing they tasted different, but hey, it meant that I could eat them again!
