AIBU to be annoyed with dh?

He has taken dc to captain candy in Dubrovnik Croatia which is essentially a pick n mix place. He bought three bags of sweets and it came to £99.

The price is unclear and it is a tourist trap.

If anyone goes to captain candy please avoid.

I can't believe it still.

Ridiculous!

Three bags?!

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 16/08/2019 21:29

Wow just wow!! I'm not sure if I'm jealous or disgusted can you take pics I love pick and mix 😂😂 my most expensive was about £20

dreichhighlands · 16/08/2019 21:29

We had a giant family row with dc after visiting that place because we would only spend 25$ there a couple of years ago.
Your post brought back all the memories.

Small sacks rather than 'bags', surely?! Shock

It is very expensive and dc didn't get much for 25 pounds and that was pre Brexit pound crash.

ifeelgreat · 16/08/2019 21:31

What?!?!!! Seriously though how much did they get for that?

DramaAlpaca · 16/08/2019 21:31

Good grief Shock I'd be annoyed alright.

HeadintheiClouds · 16/08/2019 21:31

Why did he pay it? Surely when he heard the price he thought nah fuck that and should have walked out?

Florencenotflo · 16/08/2019 21:35

I bought pick and mix at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park a few years ago. In my defence I was 36 weeks pregnant and was not thinking clearly. A modest bag of sweets cost £15, DH nearly fainted 😂 still bought them for me though!

PegasusReturns · 16/08/2019 21:36

99??? Wow!!

Sparklingbrook · 16/08/2019 21:36

We went to an outlet village last week and I spent £12.72 at the Lindt Pick and Mix and thought that was extravagant!

Littlepond · 16/08/2019 21:37

Omg imagine how many packets of fruit pastilles you could get for £99

IDontDrinkTea · 16/08/2019 21:38

Shamelessly placemarking as I need to see the size of the sacks

moobar · 16/08/2019 21:38

My niece did this at a local show. Stuffed the bag full when dad was distracted. Was by weight. 45 pound for one bag. They wouldn't take it back because she had handled it. She was about 6. It's a family legend nowGrin

Abbafabba · 16/08/2019 21:38

Wtf!!!! Please do post a pic!

MrsTommyBanks · 16/08/2019 21:39

He was being dozy because it was in Kunas. Would not think he had s maths degree.

Honestly think it was a mixture of it would not be that much and embarrassment.
