AIBU about the price of crisps

[RinkyDinkyDoo]

55p for a single packet!!!!!! Only found this out today,as I normally buy multi packs, but nipped into local shop as I fancied a packet. The last time I remember buying a single packet they were 35p.

YABU last year was a rough one for potatoes

I remember when a can of coke cost 33p...

YABU. No one should be eating crisps. They are the devil's food. We should all be eating raw carrots instead.

They're about 65p here for a bag of fucking air

And polos.

They're about 60p now.

do they even make fruit polos any more?

YANBU, we eat loads of crisps in this house and are dead expensive even in multi packs. What else am I supposed to put in the kids lunch boxes?

Mrs Lettuce, I was going to buy a can of coke, they didn't have cans, only bottles-for £1 !!!!!!! A fucking pound.

I know! Big Crisp fan here too.

I've resorted to buying the sainsbo's own brand 12 pack for 85p lately - quite passable to fill those crisp shaped holes in my life :)

Fecking Pringles really get my goat £2.25 per tube when they're not on offer - who pays that? Yes they're nice but not £2.25 nice.

My mate was boasting the other day that she tipped a whole bag of Walkers crisps in her mouth at once.

I said, "Yeah that's nothing. I once put 4 crisps in my mouth at once....."

Worra

YANBU but it's like everything else, prices just keep on going up.

Btw they do still do fruit polos

It's annoying that they're so expensive, because I really like them, but.... they are also really unhealthy

So in a way it's good the price has gone up as it means I can't afford to eat them as much!

I can remember when crisps cost 5p a pack.

Yum, to fruit polo, not seen them for ages, I preferred trebor mints though. Can you still get refreshers? (70's haze coming on)

Wow! How the other half live WorraLiberty - 4 AT ONCE?

And walkers too?

TUT! Every economy crisp is carefully eeked out here - one lick, place on kitchen towel for drying, rep-place in bag, repeat.

Makes an economy packet last about a week (on average)

I remember when crisps were 3p a pack

I used to get 3p per day pocket money

Then they went up to 4p a pack and my Mum gave me a raise

Fuck, I really am only 43yrs old I swear

It's all wrong - 50 to 60 p for a single pack and yet you can go to any supermarket and buy a giant fat git sharing bag for a pound depending what is on offer.

And we wonder why there is an obesity crisis??

TUT! Every economy crisp is carefully eeked out here - one lick, place on kitchen towel for drying, rep-place in bag, repeat

I'll try that

I just hope to god I get my lick before the dog does

fruit polos 50p a tube plus postage

Is that how much they are?

I've been buying mine from the cafe at our local college.

My local shop sells them

They still stick together so you have to bite them like a stick of rock.

70p for a packet of Brannigans Ham and Pickle in our costcutter

Have you noticed walkers multipacks bags are smaller, in asda today a 6pk was £1, next to it same flavour, 6pk £1.99.

They do 'fuller' bags I shit you not.

I can remember when you could get 10 regal kingsize and a box of matches for what a packet of crisps costs these days. I am old and had a misspent youth

Yep,my friend and I would go halves on a 10 pack of regal kingsize- 32 and a half pence each-75p for a pack of 10.:o

YANBU. prices must depend where you live? I get if a bottle of water is over £1

80p for a regular sized pack of walkers in my local WH Smith

ive noticed the some of the multipacks in the local poundshop (cant remember which one) are selling '5' packs for the price a '6' pack used to be! AND..... they then stick in '1 extra free based on 6 for the price of 5' !!
quoting writing on pack verbatim, I promise
