To think he is pulling a fast one

[MightyBooshhhh]

Friend kindly grabbed me some veg from shops today - some toms, onions and mushroooms. After I asked how much it was and they said they couldn't remember but "about 4 or 5 pounds". Money's not tight and it doesn't matter... should I just pay? Friend can be a little funny with money sometimes too so there is history here...

£4-5? Better be bloody organic and be able to mop your floors if they're expecting that.

You should have said 'for that!' 'Nah, you are having me on, how much was it really? A coupon of quid?'

Just standard sainsbo's!!

Sorry bend change!

NAME change

Pre packed or loose? It makes all the difference.

Mushrooms and onions might come to a couple of quid, I suppose it depends if it's a lot of tomatoes.

Prepacked, all small value packs i.e. small punnet normal basics cherry toms, three onions in a pack, small box mushrooms.

If you're worried, why not check the prices on Sainsbury's website?

I did... it's not the money just the principle similar has happened before, a couple of quid, couple of quid there.

It could easily be £4, if it is a bigger pack of mushrooms or plum tomatoes etc then it could be nearly £5.

It would be just over £3, even in Aldi.

You can price them up online, they might be pennies dearer in the shop.

X post, so £3, just give him it then.

Sounds about right tbh. I think Sainsbury's is something like: Packet of tomatoes £1-2 (depending on type) mushrooms £1.50 packet of onions £1.20

I think it sounds right too. Why would you be suspicious of a friend? Normal adults don't "pull a fast one" over a few quid!

If I had to guess how much they cost I would probably guess the same. About £1.50 each item give or take. I don't think they are deliberately trying to deceive you. If they aren't short on cash they probably take less notice of how much things cost. They also could be including parking if they had to pay for it.

6 tomatoes at waitrose are 69p, 3 onions are 99p a Punnett of mushrooms a pound..!

I'm wrong - accepted! Just thought 5 was a bit steep.

Pretty sure that's about £3 worth. £1 for a punnet of mushrooms, 3x onions is about 80p and about £1 for a small tub of std cherry tomatoes. If it was finest ones it would be more.

I'd give him £3.

That must be Waitrose Essentials, itsnot

mind you maybe he had to pay for a bag too

£5 is steep. I wouldn't ask them again.

and then theres parking

and maybe it wore him out so he needed a drink to get him to the till...I expect that's it

Not sure, just happened to spot them today :) could have been essentials, but a tomato is a tomato is it not..

No bag needed and no parking - he walked to shops and picked up his own shopping then walked back. I'm not trying to ve ungrateful, just genuinely can't fathom how it could be five quid! He has a tendency to round up when I owe him and round down when it's the other way
