Tesco Ireland customers baffled by 'new rule' in shops in the run-up to Easter

Signs cropping up in Tesco stores nationwide are causing a stir on social media as the supermarket giant imposes a new Easter rule.

The notices appear above Easter Eggs which are currently being sold in a three for €3 deal.

But in an attempt to stop greedy customers, the shop is not allowing anyone bulk buy more than 15 in one go.

A picture of one of the signs has left many baffled as to who would actually buy more than 15 chocolate eggs in one go.

One tweeter said: "Who needs 15 of these things? My tummy hurts just thinking of it."

Another said: "How many were people buying for this rule to be implemented..? But also.. So much cardboard and plastic for so little chocolate."

Cormac from Tallafornia's famous eggs per bloke per day scene was also all over social media as the picture was shared around.

A Tesco spokesperson told the Irish Mirror : "To ensure availability for all we regularly place quotas on promotional items."

The supermarket giant isn't the only shop flogging Easter Eggs at the moment with Lidl, Aldi, Dunnes and more all starting to fill shelves with the seasonal treats.

Would you ever bulk buy Easter Eggs? Let us know in the comments section.
