These speculoos were only available in November this year. There were none left in Winterthur and the surrounding area for the whole of December. And this for a product that is only supposed to be sold at this time of year!
Do Migros buyers have minimal training as such? They even had an expiry date of January 2025, so you could have bought them without any worries.
They have now been reliably deleted from the website - where they were listed all along.
You have to buy these things when it's over 30 degrees outside. At the end of August, the stores were full to the brim with speculoos, gingerbread and the like. By the time I felt like it, most of the items were no longer available, not even in the 50% sale (must have been sometime in November). I've been saying for a long time that the stores are completely gaga with their seasonal items. But people seem to want it that way...

Exactly. And if I then buy Christmas items in October, Migros says: see, that's what customers want, they buy Christmas items in October😅☝️

The same goes for Easter bunnies and Easter items. If you don't buy early enough, you won't have much choice before Easter.

What's the point of supermarkets sitting on their goods at Easter/Christmas?
Of course the selection goes down towards the end of the festive season. You don't want to sell your chocolate at a discount at the end, do you?
It's probably stupid in the Winterthur region.
In the Spreitenbach region, I've seen the goods up to a week before Christmas (1m, 2mm and 3mmm branches).

Perhaps it is also because the producers produce other goods and not just the Easter or Christmas business.
Lindt, Migros and Ferrero produce some of their Christmas goods in the summer, and they also produce normal and promotional goods. Of course, these companies don't want to have their products in stock for too long. Everything in stock is dead capital...
Migros tends to be the last to bring Christmas goods anyway.
Aldi and Lidl already had the baked goods and Christmas items at the beginning of September (no, not gingerbread)... in the store (seen in Wohlen)
I recently saw Easter goods in Germany...
Hi curley, thank you very much for your message. We are very sorry that you were unable to find the Stieffenhofer spiced speculoos in your preferred region! We can well understand your disappointment in this regard ☹. We discussed this with the specialist department. The item was part of the Christmas range - deliveries went smoothly. We are really sorry that you were unable to find any in December. The responsible department has of course been informed of your feedback. We assure you that we will keep an eye on this issue. Kind regards, Lea
