Crisps 95p a bag...wot

[GabbyLoggon]

Bought crisps, normaal size, not ppular make, in a newsagents 95p a bag...any advance?

I don't get how a small bar of galaxy for example is about 65p, yet they have the massive bars for about £1 or £1.15. This stupid pricing structure is not good for the waistline.

In Tesco this week, small packet of Cadburys Buttons, 55p, massive bag of Giant Buttons....£1. Rude not to, I thought

I recently walked out of WHSmith empty handed because the cheapest bottle of water they had was £1 for £500 mls, (at home I just use the tap). I went to the local takeaway coffee shop directly opposite and got one for 50p. I thought large chain stores were supposed to be cheaper and good value [hmmm] seems not.

My local newsagent does a lovely special offer, you can get 2 Dairy Milk's for 50p. . It doesn't apply to Caramel's though

I used to eat a lot of crisps until I had a minor heart blip. Now ration myself to one bag a week

I love crisps. I was in england recently and bought 24 packets of salt and vinegar and 12 cheese and onion. I only took 12 of the S+V into our house. I left the rest in the shit pit car and eat them in secret

Liv77-WHSmith are dying on their arses. They can't overcharge for newspapers and magazines so they rip you off for everything else. I haven't bought anything in there for years!

I remember crisps being 8p in our local supermarket circa 1976. happy days.

DandyDan ooh didn't know that about the Twix bars. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm not touching it. :o

Yes, when a small bar of galaxy is 65p and a greedy cow family size one is only £1.15, it makes sense to buy it. And eat it. In one go.

Aaagh! Why do my crossing outs never work?

twirly you have to put the dashes either side of each of the words - you can't 'block' cross out. Took me ages to work that out too

It's the recession, innit?
They have worked out that everyone is skint and has no spare cash, but every now and then we want a treat to cheer ourselves up. We can't justify £50 in a bottle of champers so we 'treat' ourselves to a little bit of chocolate or crisps. We have a guilt-free pleasure of paying less than £1 for a bit of luxury. Or some such advertising blather.
Don't fall for it!
