Bargain guide, week beginning April 20th

Saturday is National Picnic Day! Pack up your lunches and get outside before the heat sets in. The 25th is National Zucchini Bread Day, and the Internet is just full of low-fat zucchini bread recipes. This fourth week of April is National Egg Salad Week too, if you were wondering what to put in your picnic.

Friday is National Hot Cross Buns Day. (“I have hot cross buns!” “Well, wear a long coat and they won’t show!”) I have been told but cannot confirm that if you keep a hot cross bun in your house from one Good Friday to the next, your house will not burn down all that year. Sunday, being Easter, is National Baked Ham with Pineapple Day and also the official end of chocolate season for this year. I am searching for Russell Stover Chocolate Mini Bunnies – they come in a package of 42 chocolate bunnies the size of M&Ms. (But wouldn’t that make it hard to bite off the ears?)
