•Easter is just around the corner, and that usually means a few things: a lovely long weekend, a bit of a family get-together, and, of course, absolutely mountains of chocolate. Getting everything ready can feel like a big job, but it doesn't have to be. It seems Waitrose has come through with some brilliant Easter offers designed to make the whole celebration a bit easier, tastier, and give everyone some great value. From the big food shop to the all-important chocolate eggs, there are plenty of fantastic deals to get sorted before the holiday rush begins. Getting organised now means more time for the fun stuff, like seeing who can eat their body weight in hot cross buns.
Getting the big shop sorted
Let’s be honest, the supermarket run right before a bank holiday can be a bit of a nightmare. It’s a battle of the trolleys in every aisle, and the one thing someone desperately needs is always sold out. A clever way to skip all that chaos is to get everything delivered. Waitrose has opened its Easter delivery slots, which is a bit of a game-changer for anyone trying to plan ahead. These much-sought-after slots are available for deliveries between 18th March and 7th April. But a word to the wise: these delivery slots are like the most popular Easter treats; they won’t be around for long. Anyone wanting to get their shopping brought straight to their door should probably move fast and book now. It’s an exclusive way to make sure the fridge is full of everything needed for the Easter weekend without having to brave the crowds. There are also some fantastic general offers on the food everyone loves, running for a very short time between 16th March and 17th March, perfect for stocking up on essentials.
The official snack of easter?

It wouldn't really feel like Easter without the smell of toasting hot cross buns wafting from the kitchen, would it? It’s a proper tradition. Whether someone prefers them slathered in butter or just as they are, they’re a must-have. Recognising their celebrity status, Waitrose has a great value offer on their mid-tier hot cross buns. Customers can grab two packs for just £3, which is a fantastic deal. This offer is running from 18th March all the way through to 7th April, so there's plenty of time to stock up. It’s the perfect excuse to have one for breakfast, one for an afternoon snack, and maybe even one after dinner. With this deal, there's a bun for everyone. People looking to get their hands on this classic Easter staple should shop now before they all disappear.
A special treat from a special farm
For those who fancy something a little bit different, there’s another option beyond the classic bun. The Leckford Fruit and Seed Hot Cross Bun sounds like a real treat. What makes it so special? Well, it all starts with the flour. It’s made from wheat that’s grown on the Waitrose farm in Leckford, Hampshire. Yes, Waitrose has its own farm! This means the quality is incredible, and there’s a lovely story behind the loaf. The farm in Hampshire focuses on regenerative farming, which is a brilliant way of looking after the land. Packed with delicious fruit and a wonderful mix of seed, these hot cross buns are a cut above. They are available for £2.50, and the offer runs from 18th March to 7th April. It’s a little piece of the beautiful Hampshire countryside in a tasty bun.
And now for the main event: choc eggs!

Let's talk about the star of the show: the chocolate. Easter just isn't Easter without a mountain of choc eggs. There's the excitement of an Easter egg hunt, the rustle of the shiny foil, and that first crack as it breaks open. The only tricky part is trying to make the chocolate eggs last until Sunday. Can anyone actually wait until Easter to rip off the foil? It’s a serious test of willpower. Waitrose has a huge selection of eggs, eggs, and more eggs to choose from. Whether someone is a fan of milk, dark, or white chocolate, there’s something for every taste. The offers on choc eggs are running from 18th March to 7th April, giving everyone plenty of time to choose their favourites. It’s a good idea to shop now to make sure the perfect eggs are secured for the big day.
